Record Watch 2011-12

[Franchise FC]

Just worked out that Charlton are the only team whose points per game is enough to beat the 106.

Am I worrying unnecesarily ?

[Tony Le Mesmer]

This must have come up before, but Southampton have now registered 21 consecutive home wins in all competitions (19 in the league), equalling Liverpool's post-war record from the early 70s. The all-time record is 25, by Bradford PA. Rotherham managed a 22-game win streak in the 1930s.

They last failed to win a home game when they lost 2-1 to United in the League Cup 4th round on 29th January.

Brentford won all 21 home games in 1929/30, the only time a club has finshed the season with a 100% record

And finished somewhere like 7th?

Nope - runners up 7 points behind Plymouth.

Time for the monthly update :

Down to 32 teams that can get 106

Incredibly, still 2 in the PL (Man City and Tottenham - although Tottenham can only match 106)

9 in the Championship (the top 8 plus Birmingham). Southampton can still get 118, but their average ppg so far would give them only 94

9 in League One (the top 8 ). Charlton are serious contenders. They've dropped 13 points so far and need to drop another 19 for our record to remain. Charlton's average ppg would give them 108 if they maintain the current rate. Watch out for Sheff Wed as dark horses

12 in League Two - yes, half the division, although one defeat for 5 of them would rule them out. Both Crawley and Southend still have enough to play for to reach 120+, so need to drop another 15 or so.

Isn't there any recognition of the fact that the PL teams play 8 fewer matches. So 106 there would be an even greater achievement.

Charlton and Crawley look like the main dangers this year. I think at least 1 of them will get 100 points but 106 is still a big ask. You need a lot of luck with Injuries over 46 games, like we did.

We had Shorey, Kitson and Sidwell out for a month in September and kept winning. Lita broke an ankle; Little missed the final 2 months of the season. Lita played a load of games semi fit. He mad Makin and Hunt as the full backs when we beat Sheff Utd.

We were not lucky with injuries that season; we had a great squad. And I swear a lot of people forget that.

I guess the lucky bit was that most of the time the injuries dovetailed so that we had someone coming back when another injury occurred.

[T.R.O.L.I.]

They have 36 points from 16 games, one point more than we had in autumn 2005 after the same number of games.

The real "breaker" for any team trying to break our record is games 17 to 26 - we won 10 in a row which is a hell of an achievement.

After game 16 the table read:

1. Sheff Utd Pld 16 Pts 38
2. Reading Pld 16 Pts 35

After game 26 the table read:

1. Reading Pld 26 Pts 65
2. Sheff Utd Pld 26 Pts 56

If Saints are near 65 points come 14th January then that is the time to start worrying about the record.

After 5 games of the "10 game run":

Reading Pld 21 Pts 50
Saints Pls 21 Pts 43

Charlton - played 20 points 47 - next stop home to Oldham.

Oh, and we can take Tottenham off the list.

Indeed. We had 3 top strikers and 2 of them were always fit. We only had 2 CBs and both played every game. Half the team played every game virtually. We seemed to be walking an injury tight rope from start to finish without falling off.

[Tony Le Mesmer]

Charltons 47pts after 20 games is the same as us after 20 games. I would still say that are at least a 10/1 shot to break it, probably more. Crawley have the make up of a team more likely to break it for me.

Meanwhile, Huddersfield extend their unbeaten run to 46 games with a 1-0 defeat to Bournemouth.

[cmonurz]

Incredible really, no league defeats for nearly a year, then two on the bounce.

[Skyline]

I still find it amazing that, during our 106 season, both Sonko & Ingimarsson started all 46 league games. And picked up 1 yellow card between them. Of all the records we set that season, that one is just

They both played the majority of the games the previous year (Ivar played 44, Sonko 39) and they only picked up 3 yellow cards in total that year as well. So despite laying all by 9 games over two seasons, between them they didn't pick up enough yellow cards to earn a suspension if done by one player in one season.

[Royal With Cheese]

Now Charlton P21 Pts 48.

They'd need to win 19 draw 2 and lose 4 out of the last 25 to do it!

Until this week I'd have said that was VERY possible - even probable. Now ..............

[Royal With Cheese]

It's a tough ask.

[Franchise FC]

It's a tough ask.

Agreed, but they're in a much better position than anyone since the 106.

And yes, I'm still concerned.
