This is the 18th time in the club's history that we've lost 5 games on the trot (excluding where those runs have gone beyond, so 6 on the trot isn't treated as two lots of 5 on the trot, 1-5 and 2-6).
Fred Stewart and Jimmy Scholar are the masters of this, having managed to lose 5 on the bounce on 3 separate occasions. Stewart managed 6 on the trot twice in the old first division, a feat matched by Neil Warnock with a 1-0 defeat at Tottenham.
We've turned 5 consecutive defeats into 6 on only 6 occasions; 3 in the top division, 2 in the second tier and once in the third division. Graham Williams was the first to achieve 7 successive defeats, crowned with a 1-0 defeat at Chelsea in the second division. Williams lost 10 of the 14 matches where he was manager.
Durban's Diamonds are the only side to have lost 5 successively on more than one occasion in the same season in 1985/86. The second he extended to 7 defeats on the spin, including a spectacular 6-3 thrashing by Walsall. Only a 3-1 win over Wigan puncturing 12 defeats in 13 games. That abysmal run would be followed by 8 games unbeaten, winning half.
Frankie Burrows was the only City manager to achieve 5 defeats on the trot in the bottom division.
Lennie Lawrence has managed 5 in 2003/04, Warnock managed 6 in the Premier League and now they are joined by Neil Harris. Two more defeats and Harris can go for the all time record!

If you can’t beat the fake hoops then you really are in trouble. They are really poor.
A record? He'll be proud of the boysOriginally Posted by Eric the Half a Bee
We were going for a record six wins straight a few weeks ago. People only talk about the negative, though.
5 wins. I did post something similar, looking at successive wins, at the time.
Charlie Austin will see to it that the losing run continues. He's to clever for our flat-footed lot.
Eric glass half empty thrives on the negativity. He’s not alone in his disdain for the club he purports to support.
*too
Might be 2

Nah, two old.
Tutu out too!!
Jimmy Scoular's run of 5 defeats in 1966/7 was part of an inglorious run of 12 games without a win on which we got 3 points, scored 9 goals and conceded 40 (yes FORTY). This after the 1965/6 season when we finished 20th and just missed relegation!
He would never have survived in the modern era.
In fact he probably wouldn't have survived more than his first three months in 1964/5 when we didn't win our first league game until October when we were rock bottom of Division 2 as the Championship then was.
If there had been a message board back in those I can imagine all the "experts" saying what a duffer he was!!!!!!
You danced around that one, too
It might surprise you to find out that there was an even worse 12 game spell defensively from us. We conceded 44 goals in 12 games from Boxing Day 1936, including conceding 8 against Luton and Southend, 7 against Brighton and 6 against QPR.
