Port Said Red Posted January 1, 2019 Report Share Posted January 1, 2019 With today's first away win on a New Years Day since 1903, it seems that this season has had a few "firsts" in it. I think our win at QPR was the first in a long time and I am sure there have been one or two other notable ones throughout the season. I am sure some stattos could remind us. We will probably be the first team to have fans clamouring for the Manager to leave as we head into the play offs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanterne Rouge Posted January 1, 2019 Report Share Posted January 1, 2019 The first team to win at Birmingham this season? Mind you, QPR got a major first last week - the first time they`d ever won at Forest in 34 attempts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REDOXO Posted January 1, 2019 Report Share Posted January 1, 2019 This is a very good sign! Players believe in hoodoos, supporters are worse. We keep to our rituals. Breaking these sequences bodes well for the rest of the season...Fingers Crossed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hampshire Red Posted January 1, 2019 Report Share Posted January 1, 2019 First season with two away league wins at clubs playing Premier League the season before (Swansea and Stoke) Not even conceding a goal shows much about our recruitment as none of our starting Back 5s were with us last season.

January 1995 City went there in the FA Cup and won 3-1. Stoke visited Ashton Gate for the F.A. Cup third round. This was goal less as was the next League game, but City won the replay at Stoke. They had taken a first half lead, but a flash of brilliance from Junior Bent sent the tie into extra time. Ian Baird gave City the lead and Brian Tinnion wrapped it up when he smashed a thunderbolt into the Stoke net. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boxing Day 2003 City won there 2-1 and 24 Sep 2005 Brentford 2- City 3. We also won there in the League Cup in 2007 and 2009. In the 96-97 season we met in the play offs and Brentford won both legs, but lost in the final. Six months later, November 97, City went up there and won 4-1.

Had a mini bounce under GJ- few wins, the odd defeat- then came that losing streak...culminating in the loss to Bradford on a cold Tuesday night and I think we went bottom of League One?

TV Tom Posted January 2, 2019 Report Share Posted January 2, 2019 Leeds away would of been nice, we have terrible records at places like Brum’ QPR, Ipswich &Stoke so taking maximum points at these places this season is excellent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Port Said Red Posted February 9, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2019 So since I posted this on January 1st we have added some other notable landmarks. First 5th round of the cup in 25yrs, first run of 6 wins at this level in 113 years and only the 2nd Italian to score a goal for us. Let’s keep it going boys.

JamesBCFC Posted February 9, 2019 Report Share Posted February 9, 2019 First time winning 6 in a row in the second tier since 1905. In 1905 we didn't stop at 6 though, and continued until we reached 14 consecutive wins in a 24 game unbeaten run. So 10 more games unbeaten would match a club record.

That season we were champions of Div 2 (Man U and Chelsea were 2nd and 3rd). The following season we were Div 1 runners up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an omen Actually thinking about it more, wouldn't be surprised if that time in 1905-06 was the only time we won 6 in a row in the second tier until now. Not exactly a large number of years for it to have been possible before that time, and it's taken 113/114 years to replicate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then we had 5 in a row in 02-03, 4 in a row (twice) in 03-04, and then 5 in a row again (twice, with just one loss in between each run) in 04-05, culminating in those heady days of 1905-06.
