Your request for a streak analysis.

This is the 9th time we've won 6 games on the trot (excluding European and Welsh ties). The first to manage it was Fred Steward in 1922. McCandless's almost invincibles in 1946/47 managed 8 on the spin. The only other time we've managed 8 successive wins was under Neil Warnock, when we beat Burton 3-1 at home. We have never managed 7 wins on the trot except under those runs from Warnock and McCandless.

I find it amazing that we were 2 defeats away from the worst losing streak in the club's history, yet are 3 wins away from the best winning streak ever.
