    I actually undertook a hefty project in my free time at work over the past year to check something and maybe it's relevant here.

    In our history, we've won 10 trophies.

    Championship (or equivalent) x1

    League 1 (or equivalent) x4

    EFL Trophy x3

    Anglo-Scottish Cup x1

    Welsh Cup x1

    No major honours, and some of the cup wins could be called a little underwhelming. So this got me thinking about how we stack up to the other 71 EFL clubs (based on the make-up of the leagues last season). 

    I delved into all 71 of their histories and compiled a list of everything they'd won in that time (as best I could, we are going back 120 years in some cases). I counted every trophy unless it was at non-league level (anything below League 2), or was regional (I didn't count our Gloucestershire cups for example). I also considered major honours to be worth more (kind of obvious, a League 2 title and a European Cup could hardly be weighted equally). And, of the 72 clubs, when looking at quantity and quality of honours, we came around 30th. So 6th in League 1 if all EFL clubs were positioned based on their honours history.

    So to summarise, we have underperformed by Championship standards but have more than most the clubs in League 1 and 2 to shout about when it comes to history.

    Maybe this isn't actually that relevant at all, but I found it interesting to do so though people might find it interesting to read. 

    And you are correct, I'm not very fun at parties.

     

    Get yourself on the dull men’s club on Facebook they’d love stats like that 👏

    Makes us look exactly what we are.

    A mid table team that has been able to get points against the sides below us whether we’ve been the better side in those games or not.

    Someone said last night, it makes no difference whether Pearson, Manning or Guardiola is in charge, that’s the squad they are working with, no matter what the chairman & Tinnion claim.

    But but it’s a top 6 team we’ve got…..yeah Jon whatever.

    For anyone wondering what the famous Pat Mountain looks like, despite being snowed under his fan club have released a photo!!

    Bit surprised tbh, for some reason pictured him being at least twice the size.

    City appoint new goalkeeping coach

    Mountain by name, hill by stature.
