Re: 2 quiz questions

Today marked our first win over Reading after 12 games without a win against them.

1. Who are the only 4 City managers since WW2 to have managed 2 wins against Reading?

2. Against which 4 sides have we suffered our longest winless runs?

We did the double over Reading in the 99/00 relegation season. But had Frank Burrows gone by the time we played them the second time?

I'd never heard of it. It looks like those games have not been counted as competitive fixtures. The competition itself only lasted 6 seasons, almost as a warm up before the start of the season.

We competed in it once, in August 1978. We beat Fulham at home but lost 1-0 to both Bristol sides away.

OK
I was at the match I remembered it as a win
I've just looked it up and we lost 1 nil.

Yes. Billy Ayre was manager for the away win.

Indeed. We went 15 without a win until Lennie's side beat them 3-0 at Ninian.

My clue of "hardly common opposition" was obviously missed as well (Posh).....

A bit off topic but yesterday seen the top 4 clubs in Wales all win on the same day, just wondered if that is a First
