Re: Wigum v Villa - match thread

We lost a bunch and the main gripe was that the style of play was non existent, now despite winning a few, the style of play is still a concern. We won't be challenging for promotion this/next season unless things improve in that department.

Out of interest, does anyone know when we last won 5 games out of 6?

Bristol, Sheffield Wednesday, Brentford, QPR, Cardiff, Preston, Newcastle, Leeds, Barnsley, Fulham, Forest, Blackburn Ipswich and even Blues FFS have all managed to put 4 or 5 past the opposition (most of them more than once!) yet we never seem to be able to give anyone in this league of massive inconsistency a proper proper beating.

And with the resources we have, that's pretty poor

BUT I think it will happen, things will click into place at some point and BAM. lol!

Another win with the constantly rotating team sheet and half the team injured. That'll do for now in my opinion.

SB has not had a settled team yet in fact can anyone actually remember the last time we played the same team for 3 games in a row? I reckon the least number of changes has to be about 3 surely? It's bizarre actually.

I want to see what a run of games with a fully fit squad looks like.

2009/10 we won 6 on the bounce but only if you include league cup and euro qualifier games. Actual 5 out of 6 league games I've no idea. Def before 2009.
