Hxj Posted September 20, 2020 Report Share Posted September 20, 2020 2001/02 I think was better, three league wins and one in the League Cup. The real question is can we now call him 'Streaky Holden"?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, given that many of us were hardly ecstatic at Dean Holden's appointment, its a very promising start. With two first choice central defenders out, the young guns have performed very well. And we are also missing three midfielders in Morrell, Walsh and Williams, all of whom could be now be regarded as certs on the team sheet. So far so good I'm not getting too excited yet. But to win for the third season in a row at Stoke City, where our previous last league win was in 1959, it looks promising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it was actually followed by a 1-1 draw home to Stoke, nil-nil at Newcastle, 1-0 defeat to Coventry in the League Cup then the 4-1 thumping of Sunderland.

gornagain Posted September 21, 2020 Report Share Posted September 21, 2020 I remember one season (in the seventies?) when we won the first 4 in the second division.

Matthew me Posted September 21, 2020 Report Share Posted September 21, 2020 Holden not made a save for 227 minutes according to Gregor Easiest money he's ever going to earn.

RedYoshi Posted September 21, 2020 Report Share Posted September 21, 2020 Just off the top of my head... (and only in terms of straight wins, in all competitions) 1902-03: five wins 1927-28: five wins 2001-02: four wins So we're close, in that narrow definition of "best start".

Pretty sure we were unbeaten at home in 73/74 then MOTD came calling and we lost at home to Palace in early November, Alan Whittle the scorer iirc.

The Fat Controller Posted September 21, 2020 Report Share Posted September 21, 2020 Don't know why the OP is getting grief - clearly obvious the question is simply what is our best winning run at the start of a season. Frankly I find it a bit incredible that it's only 5 games but there you go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
