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.
So if we beat Colin and Rooney he'll be joint leading run manager?
That spectacular run by Fulham a few years ago keeps coming to my mind and I'm trying so hard not to think about it!!
And how did you know I'm snuggly?
Is it best start by a new manager yet ?
We won 6 in a row 92/93 season under Eddie May between Jan 23rd and February 19th. We then drew 1-1 with Crewe away and won the next 4 making us undefeated for 11 league games. That season we went up as champions after bringing in Kevin Ratcliffe in January who propelled Cardiff up the table.
If you switch manager for Premiership player both seasons have a few similarities including the dates of the good runs. Hopefully it ends in the same way as well
If you mean the season under Malky it was against Peterborough, they beat us 2-1 home and away. Burton were still in League 2 at the time
We weren't unbeaten away for those ten, I remember losing 4-2 at Bristol and the 5-4 at Charlton, I assume we lost against some others
We won the league quite easily with a decent points total that season but I remember us having a pretty bumpy end to the season with a lot of draws
That's worrying. I remember the team was bottom for the home match. At 'east they did the double and got relegated
