redarmy1974 Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 How long can we go on for ? If we can get to Christmas still unbeaten in the league I think we will have got ourselves abit of a cushion at the top. So when we do have our slump like every team does we will not lose any ground . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fordy62 Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 Some tough matches coming up in November. I'll be surprised if we can get through that little run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CotswoldRed Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 We've already had a dip in form. A modest dip, but still a dip. We don't have to have a rough patch. A couple of defeats in a run of ten games should still see us through. Many clubs go a whole season with only a small blip. Maybe we can too.

So when we do have our slump like every team does we will not lose any ground . Impossible to speculate when the unbeaten run will end. You can never predict which team/game will turn us over. Obviously I'd like City to become the invinceables of League 1 but that's very unlikely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeh Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 its the teams reaction when it does end thats the important thing, we are going to get a game sooner or later when we lose 1-0 after having 95% possession and 40 shots on goal, the longer it goes on the bigger the target we become Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manon Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 I'm guessing swindon away. Got a horrible feeling those reprobates are gonna do us. Think it might be heavy as well. 3-1 or 4-1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciderbeans Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 Swindon and peterborough are achievable 3 pointers at a canter. Preston will be a tougher affair but we can still come away with points. Looks hard on paper but injuries and bans and form are in our favour atm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manon Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 I fully expect (and of course hope) to be way wide of the mark. Just one of those horrible feelings. Not had that for a while... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbored Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 the longer it goes on the bigger the target we become Indeed but that said, the longer the run continues the more dogged the team becomes not to lose it. When Abrahams scored that 'angry' away goal to equalise he said afterwards that he was determined to score to remain unbeaten. That's a clear indication of just how much the players want the run to continue - so long may it continue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this really is the case,I think we should win this league at a canter unless we have some serious injuries that are long term . I think we should add 1 or 2 players in Jan just to bulk the squad out abit or maybe a couple of loans . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garland-sweden Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 Think we still can be unbeaten end of the month. We meet good teams, but at the moment we are top of the leauge and nr one. City are the team to beat. We gonna lose but later is better than soner. Always Believe.

PHILINFRANCE Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 I have, on several occasions this season, predicted that the unbeaten run was going to end - all have been wrong (fortunately). Unfortunately, I fear that Saturday away to Swindon is the day. They are without, arguably, their three best players so at an extreme disadvantage: everything is stacked against them, so what do they have to lose? Does anybody remember, several (many) years ago Alan Whittle? A nailed on home win, main game on MotD.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyderInACan Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 As I think someone has said above, it's all about how we react to a defeat. not necessarily the manner of it (if/when it comes). Is an entire season undefeated at this level unprecedented? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CliftonCliff Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 Is an entire season undefeated at this level unprecedented? Good question. Nobody seems to know. In fact, it seems to be impossible to discover what the record actually is for the highest number of consecutive league games without a defeat at this level (irrespective of what it happens to have been called at the time e.g. 'Division Three'). Arsenal hold the overall record, apparently, with - I think - 49 games unbeaten, but that of course is at Premier League level. I can't find any stats that would tell us (and yes, I know, I should get out more). Any total obsessives out there who can come up with the answer to this one? We should maybe offer a prize for the first correct solution.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedBrizzleRobin Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 I believe Huddersfield probably hold that record at this level with their 43 game unbeaten run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

havanatopia Posted November 11, 2014 Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 No reason why we cannot be 'The Invincible's Mark 2' The only thing that will mess it up is injury with insufficient cover or a Singaporean syndicate piling in to ensure we are defeated.. but i think our players are above all of that nonsense.
