8 from 8?

Can we do it?

Has Bfc ever win 8 out of 8 league games before?

Be crazy in a season when we lost 8 on the spin.

Gillingham only one home league defeat all season so it's gunna be tough.

 

Something else to throw in the mix, we are their bogey side of late, we've won all of the last 6 encounters..

Didn't worry players in those days playing 3 games in 4 days,

 

BFC fixtures for April 2012 from Official History (our scores first):

Wed 3rd Swindon a (cup) 1-0
Sat 6th GRIMSBY h (lge) 2-2
Mon 8th BIRMINGHAM h (lge) 1-0
Wed 10 Gainsborough a (lge) 2-1
Thrs 11th LEEDS CITY h (lge) 3-4

Wed 24th West Brom (Cup replay) 1-0
Thurs 25th CHELSEA h (lge) 0-2
Sat 27th Clapton Orient a (lge) 0-2
Mon 29th GLOSSOP h (lge) 1-0

So in 27 days - P 12 W 6 D 2 L 4 F13 A 13.

Players used 19, 5 of whom played every game!!. This when they would all have been part-time and probably working darn t'pit an all. Mind boggling.

And when you add to that the amount of travelling to away games - in 1912 ffs! - it doesn't bear thinking about. They must have been superhuman.

Or not pampered and soft.

 

well Gillinghams form has dipped recently

but its gonna be a tough one.... I am happy with a draw and to continue our unbeaten run.

 

I hope so. Jr. Didcot Red 3 go me a ticket yesterday. I will be wearing my undefeated scarf so we should get at least a draw. COYR.
