It should be noted that the last time we lost the first 2 home games was 99/00. This coincidentally included losing to Leyton Orient in the LC....we got relegated.
But we went into admin after few months of the season in 99/00, which I cannot see happening now. |

It also has to be said that in 85/86 we lost at home 1-0 to Wrexham 1st game of the season, followed by a 4-1 defeat at the hands of Hereford, then only 2 wins in the next 6 games and we went on to win the division with record 102 points.
Fucking doom and gloom does my head in.
Nevertheless, it should be reported, that in 85/86 we sandwiched 2 opening league defeats by winning 2-1 at Torquay in the LC.....David Moss scoring his last goal for the Town some 13 years after the first... It was this bit of impetus provided by then beating Sunderland and Wendies, which got our season going. In fact the last time we opened with a home league defeat backed by a home LC lose was 74/75. A decent season, but we got on a good run straight after those 2 defeats only losing one more game at home. |

In the first eight games of the 85/86 season we won 2 and drew 1.September was even worse than August and our league season only got going with the win over Exeter at the beginning of October. Macari had brought in some older players,but when things weren't going correctly,he wasn't afraid to make changes. It's obviously a vastly different era and players hold the power and Wilson has the difficulty of dealing with the transfer window.I know he's looking for players,but it's a case of finding the right ones at the right prices.Wilson like Macari won't be afraid to make changes if he feels it's correct to do so. Have some faith guys! |

Following season Adje.Macari realised that Kenny Allen and David Cole weren't up to life in what is now League 1 and replaced them with Fraser and new arrival Tim Parkin. I can remember seeing the first home game with Notts County and realising this,but i suppose that Lou wanted to be loyal to the players from our record breaking previous season. |

Last season's optimism has worn off already then, eh Reg?
I'm as disappointed as everybody else on here with our start to the season, but it's a bit fucking early to start talking about relegation.

We've got too much quality to go down. What we don't need though is a winless run of games or only a few wins between now and October as we'll be playing catch up again.

I'm just pointing out an interesting stat....the other season between 74/75 and 99/00 when we lost the first 2 home games was 93/94. Of course, that season it was 2 league games as we didn't enter the LC until R2.....we got relegated....  |
