Not once in Cardiff City's history have we lost 5 successive games and managed to keep a clean sheet in any of them.
Run that by me again???
I just copy/pasted that into Google Translate, changed the language to Swahili and it still doesn't make any sense
We’ve also scored in every game we’ve won this season...................and last season.........and the season before that.......
Do some proper work Eric - Have we ever lost 5 in a row, but only to 4 different teams?
In 1921/22 we lost 6 on the trot to only 3 different teams - Spurs, Villa and Oldham. Back then it was common to play the same team back to back.
In December 1963 we lost 6 on the trot to 5 different teams due to a Christmas double header with Preston.
In September 1966 we lost 5 on the trot to 5 different teams, but conceded 4 at Blackburn, 5 at Bolton and Charlton and 7 at Wolves. We'd then concede 4 to Hull and 7 to Plymouth in the October.

The ECWC exploits, only two seasons though really, the quarter final and semi final years, gives Scoular the glamour other managers lack. Real Madrid in another season though gave him his trump card, the type of trump card a mate who had the one claim to fame would regularly bring up in pub conversations. All his league seasons were failures in truth, Sheffield United and Watford being disasters in our close shave season. I suppose his tenure being during the early years of following the City for a lot of us gives us rose tinted glasses. Similar to how many of us remember our schooldays so well yet it’s a very small part of our lives. Or Fred Dewey and the board were shit scared to give him the bullet in case he filled them in.
