When did we last keep 5 clean sheets on a row? And can we go better than 8 wins last year? :wink:

Why unfortunately?!! Sorry but the Hunt Roberts partnership is bearing fruit. Isn't it something like 5 goals & 1 assist from the pair of them in 6 games? Sorry but you'd be a fool to change the front 2 right now. Hunt is doing well.


Each to their own


5 goals + 1 assist in 5 games. 5 wins, 5 clean sheets.

Definitely time to change things around upfront. :lol:

Just a few observations...

Absolute pure class free kick by Harte for the 2nd...
That was a quality Middlesbrough team, except for the final third (which might be a reflection of how good we are at the back)...
And of course rock solid defending, and another clean sheet, yet again...
What a horrible turnout for Middlesbrough with those who did bother showing up for a 6 pointer making little noise and leaving early...

Really impressed with Connolly too.

Great win, roll on. 8)

Archie's penalty Mcanuff is playing shite today. Get Hal on.


:shock:

He was awesome today


Defended well, broke well, linked play well.... But poor shooting and couldn't quite beat the last defender to create a killer chance. Not his best game by a long shot, so disagree he was awesome. But to say he was shite is the dribblings of a partially sighted lunatic.

2002 ish according to SSN - 7 on the bounce in Oct / Nov 2002 must be the candidate. Including six wins on the bounce.

i fancy our chances away to millwall and then home to pompey. pompey will be a laugh if we take the lead. they are now 6 from safety, could be worse by the time they come here. we will mock them to death that day.

pay up pompey, pompey pay up...

I fear the Pompey curse will continue....now is as good a time as ever to break it though.

Last year wasn't too bad? 1-1 and 2-0?

Agreed. You have to wonder whether their attack is just shit or our defence is fantastic.

Either way a fantastic away performance and a result I didn't expect. I really think we could get top 2 now.

pompey have just lost their best striker. kitson will do us a favour and miss everything.

it's got that derby feel about it as well, so i'm really looking forward to it. i want millwall out the way and roll on a week tuesday.

The game at Upton Park could be pivotal now...

Honestly, I think the Southampton game will be more pivotal, especially as we have a game in hand on them.
