SaintBobby Posted 21 August, 2011 Share Posted 21 August, 2011 (edited) So good has our recent form been, that a whole load of records seem to have tumbled or be on be on the verge of tumbling. Be interested to know from any stattos on here how much better we'd have to do in some of the following categories to smash club (or even national records). Or whether we already have. Where I think I know what the record is, I've said so. Saints win 10 league games in a row (club record) Saints win 11 games in a row in all competitions (club record) Saints win 5 league games away in a row (club record) Saints win their first four league games of the season (club record) Saints win their first five games of the season in all competitions (club record) Saints win 11 home league games in a row - ? Saints undefeated in last 14 home league games - ? Saints go on to win 27 league games in a row when they have led at half time - ? If Saints score they don't lose, true of the last 34 league games - ? Adkins acquires 100 points in his first 45 matches (club record) If that last stat isn't a national record, I'd like to know who has a beaten Adkins to 100 points.

Jonnyboy Posted 21 August, 2011 Share Posted 21 August, 2011 Bloody great reading but I suppose the records that count are those performed in the top flight. Still chuffed though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Stimp Posted 21 August, 2011 Share Posted 21 August, 2011 I think someone mentioned on another thread that 14 league games won in a row is the record. Beatable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken Tone Posted 22 August, 2011 Share Posted 22 August, 2011 Bloody great reading but I suppose the records that count are those performed in the top flight. Still chuffed though. Quite. I'd be fairly happy if we matched Arsenal's season of never losing, even if it would be in the second division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minty Posted 22 August, 2011 Share Posted 22 August, 2011 I hate to be a pessimist, but if ever we're tempting fate... Some would say our 'fate' would be trying to kill off a game in which we lead 1-0, but end up losing 2-1 in injury time. Or slipping from 3-0 to 3-2 and going on to lose the game. But that didn't happen. If you act like you expect something to happen, then you won't be disappointed when it does. We are acting in a completely different manner under Adkins, the overwhelming attitude and outlook is positive, something I've long advocated. Acknowledge the shortcomings and deal with them, but accentuate the positive, and believe in yourselves. Our fate is in our own hands, and Adkins is turning all of that around at the moment. There will be setbacks, defeats and poor performances along the way, but the MK Dons match alone showed us last season what we can achieve if we maintain that belief, and this season is continuing in that vein. So, like the team and the manager, we don't need to make predictions or look beyond the next game, but there's no harm in celebrating what has been achieved and believing you can do better.
