dm, ya bugger. Just spent an hour I'll never get back on that site. In '85/'86 we won 9 on the trot between October and December. Must have been something similar later in the season when I seem to remember we won all our catch-up games 1-0. Cottee and MacAvennie on fire. Good times.

The question is can we win the league. We have improved the squad massively by shipping out Mr Ego and his massive big head and investing the money wisely.
Leicester have shown that anything is possible.

Of course we can't. Even top 6 is extremely unlikely.

DM, I think the first loss after those 5 wins was Stoke City away? My Dad took me up to that game as a late birthday present. Unbeknown to me he’d also written to the club and I got to meet the players before the match.
Shame about the result, but still remember the Ray Stewart penalty from it.

We did start badly and Moyes chose to defend rather than attack his way to a safer position. That mode of play stayed on for the rest of last season.
Hopefully a better start, helped it must be said by an easier opening programme, will allow us to play in a more aggressive with less fear of losing.

It is a fascinating site isn't it. Maybe I was being a bit of a masochist, but I was looking at the terrible start we made to our league season in 1979/80 when we were hanging around the bottom 6 for the first few weeks.
And it does show how memory can be incorrect. I always seemed to remember us pretty much running away with the 2nd Division championship in 1989/81, but our league form was indifferent until shortly before Christmas that season. Of course our last defeat was to QPR on Boxing Day and we stormed it after that. Allegedly John Lyall knew we were going up, so told the players to enjoy their Christmas and not to worry about the match. We lost that one 3-0.

If we won the league with sub-20% possession stats, some people's heads would explode.
We're off-target at 27% average so far
