Kingsland Red Posted 24 March, 2012 Posted 24 March, 2012 Hull were eleven games unbeaten before we played there. I believe we are now twelve games unbeaten, the best for the division this season. A fantastic record for the team also taking the pressure at the top.
Pamplemousse Posted 24 March, 2012 Posted 24 March, 2012 We haven't beaten the record, we've matched it - Brighton also went 12 league games unbeaten earlier on in the season
Jimmy_D Posted 24 March, 2012 Posted 24 March, 2012 WHU are 10 without a loss? Yeah. They're also 5 without a win.
krissyboy31 Posted 24 March, 2012 Posted 24 March, 2012 So were Huddersfield Does remind me a bit of them. 10 games ago the table looked like this (top 3) 1 West Ham United 29 +16 56 2 Southampton 29 +20 52 3 Birmingham City 29 +20 50 Top 3 Now: 1 Southamptn 39 +37 78 2 Reading 39 +22 73 3 West Ham 38 +21 69

I'd forgotten how badly Birmingham had faded over the last ten games.

In 9 games West Ham have gained 13 points with a goal difference of +5. In ten games we've gained 26 points with a GD of +17.
david in sweden Posted 25 March, 2012 Posted 25 March, 2012 (edited) the quality of " bounce-back-ability " (whoever dreamed up that one?) is highlighted quite well if we see that West Ham seemed to have " peaked " around Christmas / New Year time, when they took over at the top, and we had our infamous " blip". In an 8 game period, we won only 8 points ..of a possible 24 with a GD of - 4, whilst the Hammers won a few, and took a 4 point lead at the top. Now we are 9 points clear of them, we can see that indeed we may have "bounced back" (12 League games undefeated), whilst Hammers have been tossing away points with every game. Hopefully if we can maintain this current form the "blip " will only be a bad memory - soon forgotten. our greatest strength may not lie in playing masterful, possession type football, but fitness levels which can last to the 95th minute of the last game.

Badger Posted 25 March, 2012 Posted 25 March, 2012 Ideally, I'd like us to match our own longest sequences of: 10 straight wins, and better our 5 consecutive wins away from home http://www.statto.com/football/teams/southampton/records
Glasgow_Saint Posted 25 March, 2012 Posted 25 March, 2012 Intersting observation from bbc yesterday.... Last seasons 3rd placed teams failed in the playoffs accross all leagues! We have to finish top 2!!!
jawillwill Posted 25 March, 2012 Posted 25 March, 2012 Intersting observation from bbc yesterday.... Last seasons 3rd placed teams failed in the playoffs accross all leagues! We have to finish top 2!!! Or make sure we slip to 4th.
Golden Balls Posted 25 March, 2012 Posted 25 March, 2012 Intersting observation from bbc yesterday.... Last seasons 3rd placed teams failed in the playoffs accross all leagues! We have to finish top 2!!! I thought Swansea finished 3rd. I must be wrong
Glasgow_Saint Posted 25 March, 2012 Posted 25 March, 2012 I thought Swansea finished 3rd. I must be wrong Blows that theory out the window then think the football league show said Cardiff, but checked and it was Swansea on GD
krissyboy31 Posted 25 March, 2012 Posted 25 March, 2012 Blows that theory out the window then think the football league show said Cardiff, but checked and it was Swansea on GDI don't think Claridge said "finished" 3rd but where three teams had broken away from the pack with not many games to go.
cdvdtz Posted 25 March, 2012 Posted 25 March, 2012 Blows that theory out the window then think the football league show said Cardiff, but checked and it was Swansea on GD Think he was referring to the teams in 2nd, 3rd and 4th as the three that "broke away" (presumably because QPR were so far ahead already).
