That period will define whether it's a second half of hope or despair. With our squad and current form I'm leaning towards the latter.

Surprisingly it's not a record. In more recent times we had 9 games in 27 days in March/April 2010. The hectic schedule didn't seem to affect the players as we won 5 and drew 2 of the last 7 of those games. The highlight of that spell would have been game number 8, when Chopra scored in injury time against the Jacks. There are several occurrances of 9 games in 28, 27, 26 and 25 days.

Some City fans might remember the 1993/94 season, where we played 9 games in 24 days between April 9 and May 3. It included 2 midweek fixtures - Huddersfield away on Tue April 19, Bournemouth at home on the Thursday, then Stockport away on the Saturday. I presume this was down to our FA cup run that season. A week after that Stockport draw we would lose 7-2 at home to Cambridge.

There are 2 examples of 9 games in 23 days.

The all-time record was set in the 1963/64 season, when we played 9 games in 22 days between 27 March and 18 April.

Fri Mar 27 Swindon Town (A) W 2-1
Sat Mar 28 Swansea Town (A) L 0-3
Mon Mar 30 Swindon Town (H) W 1-0
Sat Apr 4 Derby County (H) W 2-1
Wed Apr 8 Scunthorpe United (H) W 3-1
Sat Apr 11 Plymouth Argyle (A) D 1-1
Mon Apr 13 Leyton Orient (A) L 0-4
Wed Apr 15 Grimsby Town (A) W 2-0
Sat Apr 18 Southampton (H) L 2-4

I find it incredible the side played 3 games in 4 days. It was perhaps not all that unsurprising that we lost at Swansea the day after going to Swindon.

Having a look at Swansea's results from the same time - they also had 3 games in 4 days, though on the 28th, 30th and 31st. They played Plymouth on consecutive days, losing at Home Park and winning at the Vetch a day later.

Wonder what Klopp would have made of that?

I remember when I was young ( a long time ago!), that every Easter clubs would play Friday, Saturday and Monday over the weekend.

Bloody hell! I presume it was a tradition (sorry MacAdder for presuming again). Killer for the players!

I must confess at this point that I've spent a few years creating a pretty in-depth spreadsheet that can answer some things almost straight away. All the results, dates, scores, managers are there. If I had the time I'd like to add league position following each game. I'm an anorak.

Dunno I might be, send me a picture

Sorry, that Morcambe and Wise clip posted earlier has set me off with the old double entendres.

Technically we have a strong squad (bar right back) and it should be in our favour - assuming Tomlin can make the odd appearance
