Not jinxing anything. But when was the last time we won five in a row?

    At Championship level?

    I’ve had a Google search and think it’s 96/97 but the BBS is always the fountain of all stats when it comes to Barnsley FC.

    Without resorting to Google, I'd say during the Bassett season 99/00

    I can distinctly remember winning 6 in a row under Flitcroft, but, I think there may have been a cup game or two among them. Not that it mattered at the time after the season we'd endured up to the point!

    Edit: yep, cup games at Hull and MK Dons - Hull were top of the championship at the time though so we won 5 against championship teams

    Sorry, I missed the Championship bit. It will be the first five games of the 1996/97 season.

    That's what I thought as well Ponte. Attended all five. After the win at Maine Road, I said to my
    mate who was with me, that we were definitely onto something special. It was after the game
    at Bramall Lane at Christmas though , I began to truly believe we could go up.

    You just had to say it didn't you. So if it goes wrong tomorrow it's all your fault.

    Yes, same for me after Bramall Lane. Me and my mate went on the train from Swinton to avoid having to park. On the way back the train was packed with moaning Blunts. Every sentence seemed to start with "Duz dar know.." and continued along the lines of "dat Barnsleh, der rubbish." We just sat there as impassive as Confucius but wrecking ourselves inside. We were top that day, and that's when I knew we would go up.

    It's definitely the first 5 games of the 96/97 season. I'd already posted this on another thread for scores prediction

    It would have been August/ September. Quite warm during summer.

    As soon as you said 'not jinxing anything', you jinxed it. Nailed on defeat and I, for one, know exactly who I'm going to blame. I might even sue.

    Remember winning first five league games under Clarke, TV cameras showing up for the first time in years & us losing to Torquay.

    Sorry to put a downer on things, but it all ended well!

    Millwall are in great form, unbeaten in 9 and always tough to play against. If we make it 5 wins on the spin today I think I might actually start to believe we can go up
