Reply With QuoteI still wonder what went wrong at Alloa and QOS and how we managed to go on such an impressive run after them awful results.

Few stats for Sunday
8th league won in a row in the same season, we have won 6 and 7 in a row many times in the top flight over the decades but not since 1950/51 in the second tier have we equalled or bettered this run when we won 9 on the bounce, our premier division champions managed 9/10 in a row but that was across two seasons (end of 82/83 start of 83/84)
Responded to the three away defeats by winning 4 away league games in a row for first time since we came down
Across world footballs top two divisions currently our record is in top 12 (top 7 for those who have played a minimum 17 games) and top 10 for current form, home record is top 3, and only one team has a bigger winning run than 8 (Benfica)
Makes good reading when you play about with the tables

Definitely, we've been a different team since Robson came back from injury.

Nicky Clark finding a bit of form has made a massive difference too. Calum butcher has also been a key man, and I think he was absent from the Alloa away squad?

Minimal changes to the team, only injury enforced ones, makes for more consistent results. There's also a huge team spirit right now, something that's been sadly lacking over the last few seasons. Compare the Derby celebrations to the abject misery of the 5-1 County defeat where there were suggestions that the team downed tools to get rid of Czaba. The feelgood factor at Tannadice right now is the highest its been in many a moon I'd say

Agree that they were out of position and it didn’t work. Originally Posted by offshore_arab83
