This is the season...

[Skerra]

TomD,

We are not too off the same team and, I wouldn't argue with your selection either so, if you and I can agree on 9 of the players why can't TS see it!!

[passport1]

Two halfs of good football would be nice.

In the same match

Is this possible?

Probably a tactical impossibility.

[not3bad]

I'm so tired of having to consider this question season after season.

Steak and kidney or Chicken Balti ? Tough one

[Steve kirk]

I agree, but when's the last time we got a few league wins on the spin? I'm thinking it's probably years. Not even in our decent run at the end of last season did we ever win more than two on the bounce.

April 2010 was the last time we won 3 league games in a row. Nearly 5 and a half years ago, fucking pathetic.

Right then, a little bit of number crunching for you.
Disclaimer: Its only statistics so take it with a pinch of salt!
By my reckoning, we have won 3 league games on the spin 190 times in our league history.

The longest gap between winning 3 leagues in a row is:
18/02/1939 - 15/11/1947 = 3192 Days
18/04/1914 - 10/11/1919 = 2032 Days
25/04/2010 - 29/09/2015 = 1983 Days and counting
25/08/1962 - 11/09/1965 = 1113 Days
22/11/2004 - 24/11/2007 = 1097 Days
27/10/1888 - 05/09/1891 = 1043 Days
         
Or in terms of actual games, the longest gap between winning 3 leagues in a row is:      
25/04/2010 - 29/09/2015 = 199 matches and counting
25/08/1962 - 11/09/1965 = 130 matches
06/04/1985 - 05/12/1987 = 114 matches
22/11/2004 - 24/11/2007 = 113 matches
26/11/1934 - 27/02/1937 = 99 matches

Impressive stuff Morris

Whats wrong with Kozak? Is he just not match fit or out of favour?

But, I am afraid that its this season it will happen, esp. when TS said that if we stay up we'll be stronger   next year.

Something has to give at some point

[silhillvilla]

Sherwood has a few strange ideas like Bacuna at RB, Bombing out Gil and Kozak, Grealish on the wing, westwood on set pieces, I think it's called inexperience.

[Legion]

I think it's called ineptitude.

The report I read re his performance for the u21s was not very positive. Perhaps he knows he has no chance whatever he does. I thought he was worth a go from his pre-season performances.

This is a guy who had a few good seasons at lazio . He definitely deserves a run and is being treated very unfairly .

[KRS]

How can he be being treated unfairly if he's just a bit shit?

[Clampy]

I can see why he likes Bacuna at right back but he's not ideal there. Constantly saying he's bombing out Gil is getting a bit old now because he's part of the squad. Kozak does deserve at least a place on the bench. Grealish on the wing, maybe not but he does tend to drift over wide and is effective from there. Westwood on set pieces, agree totally. My mom could take a better corner.

With Gabby an automatic startrer, i think it's safe to say that now, there is no place for Kozak.

[aj2k77]

Kozak is 26, has a best seasons tally of 6 in a 1st Division and has been a bit part player for 8 years. There's a reason why he hasn't been played. I thought he was an atrocious signing when we spent the money on him at the time when there were much more glaring problems.

And the top two in the first table are only there because no football was played during the World Wars!
