Eight wins on the bounce?

[Fez of Mahrez]

Did an interview with David Jones (Football League presenter on Sky Sports) yesterday and he puts us as the dark horses for the play-offs, thinks we can win eight on the bounce!

What do you reckon?

Oh yeah, easy.

[blueredswed]

Why not wish you a christmas present and things happens!

I thinks Leicester will be in top 6 perhaps 3 after January transfer!

In Sven I trust and do soo since before Gothenburgh but how knows perhaps even then!

[blueredswed]

Forgotten Degerfors in Varmland in the middle of Sweden or perhaps some belowe!

No ice bears....or.... Yehhhhhh

[Jackirius]

Aslong as we beat Norwich and get into the playoffs i don't care how we do it.

(nice interview though)

[Trav Le Bleu]

Nice read Dave.

But he's wrong, oh so very wrong.

I say 9 games!

[themotivator]

it simply depends on how many games there are left to play. we are on a roll to end all rolls.

[MikeyT]

If we win the next 8 games on the bounce i'll do a naked cartwheel around the Walkers Stadium pitch.

Not really.

[Wymsey]

We can't even win two on the bounce, never mind eight

[B52]

If the defence do their job I can see us go unbeaten for a long time. The occassional draw when we don't score though.

[FoxyPV]

I'll take a run of clean sheets first then perhaps a goal from a corner

[dannythefox]

8? I'd be over the moon with 4.

[Corky]

Don't think we can, can't see us winning four away games in a row.

[Thracian]

Having recently lost to moderate opposition at Bristol City and Watford, having a lamentable away record, and with Sven revealing his thoughts about unsettled players, I'd love to know the logical basis for such optimism.

Of course it is possible but I've seen nothing to say it's probable. In fact, having been encouraged by those two results, I'd imagine every underdog in the division will half fancy their chances or at least a draw against us.

For me we've simply made far too many mistakes, failed to rectify obvious weaknesses despite our hopes being raises and have had far too many comings and goings, both on and off the field.

We also put ourselves under severe pressure with our poor start to the season, our managerial upheavals and our far too obvious desperation for immediate success.

The money at Sven's disposal can be as much a millstone as a blessing and it doesn't matter how much he spends nor how many players he borrows, the opposition will delight in reminding us how far we've slipped below expectations while hammering another nail into this season's coffin by playing above themselves.

I just hope Sven stays around for next season when he can finally finally spend the pre-season establishing the understanding and confidence necessary in a team of his own choice and with players who are all part of what's going on.

[davieG]

Winning 8 requires us to at least score in 8, now King is good but not that good.

[B52]

...spend the pre-season establishing the understanding and confidence necessary in a team of his own choice and with players who are all part of what's going on.

This is the one and only thing I believe can rupture the plans of playing play offs. But I hope the players are pros and will act like such.....

[Heart-Shaped Fox]

No way will we win 5 in a row let alone 8.

Still, have to be optimistic.

[1964FOX]

I'll take a run of clean sheets first then perhaps a goal from a corner

They asked him this as well and he said ''yes them wining 8 in a row is possible but scoring from a corner, don't talk ridiculous.''

[Zingari]

if David Jones thinks we can do it then who would be brave enough to argue

[Foxblogger]

Eight consecutive league wins would be a new club record. It's currently seven in a row, which we last managed in 1993.

an excellent and timely statistic.
