Only one game short of Derby's record of league games (35) without a victory.... Separated by 7 years since they were last in the league mind but still some feat!

That’s some stat, but I’d always argue that our own 25 game run within a single season under Neil Woods beats this for fan torture. Last year wasn’t much better either, it’s a miracle we stayed up.
I think we also had a 20-game winless run from the back end of 2007/8 and into 2008/9 when Newell took over. Seem to remember it coming to an end with a victory at Bury.
So that’s THREE 20+ winless runs we’ve been on in our last 4-5 seasons at this level.
No wonder we dropped into non-league and no wonder many of us leave in fear that it may happen again.
