I was going to trawl through the history books and have a look, but I've got family commitments today.
Our longest run of wins by a single goal was over 15 wins, set between Sep 1980 and Nov 1981. We're 3 games away from equalling this achievement. We have also been on a run of 12 wins by a single goal overlapping the end of the inspirational tenures of Slade and Trollope and the first 7 games of Warnock's reign. That run in 1980/81 saw only 1 victory by more than a single goal in 19 wins. An honourable mention is earned by Malky Mackay, whose side won 15 out of 17 games by a single goal in 2012/13 in winning the title.

The longest run of league fixtures without scoring 3 or more was set between Feb 1978 and Feb 1979 and lasted 40 league games. Over those 40 games we scored 43 goals and won 12. Our current run is 38 league games where we've scored 33 and won 13.
