Incidentally we won at Newcastle, drew at Chelsea and beat Leicester during those last 12 games.

Those were the days!

Wow. The red cross fanatic must really hate to hear how well Town did!

Quoted from RonMariner
Just checked. It was April 9th 1982.  

Interesting parallel, up until April 3rd we had won only 5 games all season. That was 30 games. We had won only one of our previous 22 games. Sound familiar?

With the win on April 3rd (3-0 v Palace: Kilmore, K Moore, Whymark) and the 3-2 v Barnsley (Whymark, K Moore, Waters) we gave ourselves a chance. We won 6 of our last 12 games and finished 17th (out of 22).

So despite my pessimism, escape is still possible. But do we have a Whymark, a Waters, a Kevin Moore or a Kilmore?  



No but neither do the teams we have to play.

Also, Trevor Whymark scored 10 goals in the last 15 games of the season.

What a class act he was.

Red Cross boy clearly doesn't like Trevor Whymark also!

A popular theory in football betting is that if the home team has won the fixture away first, then not very often does the home team complete the double.
