Juan Cobian Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 (edited) So I read a stat the other day that the last time we won 5 league games in a row was at the end of the 2006/07 season, where a defeat against Birmingham at St Andrews put an end to any ambitious playoff hopes we had. I wrongly thought, before reading that stat, that it would have been the 2012 promotion run in but after looking we only ever achieved 4 wins in a row at any point. So so if we were to beat Brentford, we'd be looking at Leeds as a potential 6th win in a row. When was the last time this happened? Without going through the results of every season I can only possibly think of Jan-April in 94, but that is a guess. Any statisticians out there know this one?

Unless you're Huddersfield, then you talk incessantly about winning runs because the ones you lost and drawn don't count! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

just visiting Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 I think, with the depth of quality in your squad, you are getting to the point where the opposition are almost beaten before playing you and at this stage of the season that's not a bad thing although it may have come just a little bit too late for auto's. I would gladly take a point now from Saturday and move on to Birmingham away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cpt_Hatstand Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 I skipped a few seasons so there might might be one in the 90s, but I think it's 1983-84 6 league wins in a row (plus 2 cup wins, and also part of an 18 game run before our first defeat of the season)http://www.11v11.com/teams/sheffield-wednesday/tab/matches/season/1984/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
