Last time we won 4 on the bounce in the league was across the summer break under Lord John:

16/8/8 - Leeds A 2-0

9/8/8 - Millwall H 4-3

3/5/8 - Crewe A 4-1

26/4/8 - Cheltenham H 2-1

 

In one season (also under the Lord):

1/1/7 - Forest H 5-0

30/12/6 - Gillingham A 3-0

26/12/6 - Rotherham A 3-2

23/12/6 - Northampton H 3-0

 

3 clean sheets (yep, him again):

25/2/17 - Milwall H 0-0 (Ripley saving pens)

18/2/17 - Swindon A 0-0

14/2/17 - Charlton H 1-0

 

Those middle games bring back some memories, the NYD mauling of Forest with Rocky scoring in the last minute to cost me my 4-0 @ 66/1. 

 

The win at Gillingham. The rain that day, anyone there will know what I mean in that uncovered away end. Totally dominant.


Taking millions to Rotherham on Boxing Day, storming the fence and then edging a thriller. 

 

Seeing off Northampton to comfortably just before Xmas.

 

As if those games were over 12 years ago!

Why did you storm a fence?

Baxter or Branger-Engone?

Baxter every day of the week or year 

he’s got a much better football brain

B-E thinks beating 2 players easily then messing it up when not beating the third and not tracking back, is all ok.

I remember that incident at Rotherham it was because we had more fans there than what they had allocated in terms of easily available seats. This was because the segregation they had put in gave us 2 blocks of seats in an otherwise empty stand and we needed 3 blocks. 

 

Our fans were removing the plastic netting used as segregation covering seats and were being stopped by the stewards so it all got unnecessarily heated. Then someone realised that removing the netting was the sensible solution and it all calmed down. 

 

When I looked at my ticket (I did POTD but was given a ticket with an allocated seat) after it had all calmed down, my seat was one for the area covered by the plastic netting. A little bit of pushing and shoving all caused by Rotherham not being prepared for the travelling army of Tics on Boxing Day and some wholly unnecessary segregation.

Grimsby away, 2nd May 1998. Bruce Grobbelaar, Mark Innes, Ronnie Jepson...

 

Fucking hell. That was twenty years ago.

Surely we didn't win with those three in the team?
