Am I right in thinking we have lost just once in the last 17 games in all competitions ?

Didn't realise we was in that kind of form !

Just need to change a few of them draws into wins.

Must say, basis that record, I'm surprised PH still gets the stick he does.

I'd rather we'd lost a few and won a few more. My criticism was aimed at his lack of derring-do and safe playing style. Unbeaten runs don't mean much if you are only picking up one point most games. We do look a bit more menacing recently though, so let's hope it continues.

Its not about not losing......its about winning. 6 Draws in that run. Would gladly have a couple of more losses and a couple of more wins to give us a better position.
Hurst has his detractors because of his "a point wouldnt have been the end of the world" approach and comments, said it again after the Eastleigh game...that kind of talk can get into the mindset of the players...."well if they score in the last seconds to equalise its better than losing".

We have started a winning run now which we need to extend over the next 2/3 league games at least, get the players into a winning habit...not...a not losing habit.

3 wins in a row is the encouraging run - and the one we need to extend.

Why stop at 17? What's magical or relevant about that number?

Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Well lets hope people don't stick the verbal boot in on Hurst if we do lose the odd game which WILL happen at some point.

Agree about the draws but luck does play a hand and there were many occasions when with a bit of luck those draws could have been wins but what is done is done.

Next game Kiddiminster I hope we turn up in numbers and get behind the players we need to keep this wining run going.

If you look at every league table at the end of the season the team at the top is the team that have lost the fewest games, not drawn the fewest. Long spells unbeaten means success! UTM

Not so, sorry. If you look at the top of the Prem season 2014 Man City, Liverpool and Chelsea all lost 6 games. City drew 5, Liverpool drew 6 and Chelsea drew 7. So at the end of a tight season City won the title by means of turning more draws into wins.

In the same season Leicester won the Championship with 102 points losing 6 games. Burnley were 2nd with 93 points and 5 defeats. Burnley had 15 draws compared to Leicester's 9. This maybe equates more to Town's situation if not turning draws into wins could be the difference between automatic promotion and play offs.
