Unbeaten away from home

[Akinbiyi]

Not just all season so far, but for over 9 months. If we avoid defeat against Spurs that will be 10.

Avoid defeat in just under 2 weeks time and that’ll be 10 fucking months unbeaten.
Incredible, incredible achievement.
Had we not gone to pot in that second half in Swansea we would now officially be a year undefeated away from home by the time we play Spurs which just beggars belief. Regardless of that though, 1 defeat in a year away from home is pretty bloody good going by any standards.

We’ve had Leeds, WBA, Norwich, Villa, Preston, Birmingham, Wednesday, Bournemouth, Everton, Chelsea and West Ham of note to play in that period and not lost one of them.

Obstacles after this small one coming up to stop it being a year? Aside from your standard tough PL away trips of course...
Only the small matter of City and Liverpool away in the new year. Gulp.

It truly is ‘mega’ as the kids say

How long is it since a newly promoted team to the Prem avoided defeat in its first five away games, if ever ?

Hull did it in 2008-09.

Blackburn 1-1 Hull
Newcastle 1-2 Hull
Arsenal 1-2 Hull
Tottenham 0-1 Hull
West Brom 0-3 Hull

I remember them beating Arsenal, didn’t know about the rest... That is impressive

They also drew at Chelsea and Liverpool that season.

Liverpool 2-2 Hull
Chelsea 0-0 Hull

Moving towards ‘epic’ nowadays from what I gather.

Here's another couple of facts...

• Before the Millwall game on 13th April 2019 (which they missed), the last time we conceded a penalty in the league? Almost two years ago - February 27th, 2018 away to Reading. 2-0 up at half-time (Duffy, Sharp), Reading pulled it back to 2-1 just after the break and, just after the hour, Reading were awarded a penalty. Bacuna stepped up and…Simon Moore saved it! Minutes later, Billy scored his second of the game and secured our 3-1.
  
  
• The last time a team scored a penalty against us in the league? 1st January 2018 when Derby's Vydra equalised Leon Clarke's opener in a 1-1 draw at Pride Park.

Didn’t Leon score the equaliser? Could be wrong but I remember it being at the far end, header from Donaldson’s cross?

Vydra 24' (P)
Clarke 57'

I too thought they took the lead in this one. I was wrong

When’s the last time we conceded a free kick? Seems like an age ago...

Stoke (H)? Late on, Allen maybe? Near post, wall didn’t move, Henderson blamed

 

[Revolution]

Having avoided defeat in the first 5 away games of the season, this year's team have matched the 2006-7 team, who avoided defeat in 5 out of 19 games for a record of W3 D2 L14. So there are 14 games left to get 5 more points to surpass the overall record that season.

We have also scored 6 times away. We managed 8 in 19 games in 2006-7.

 

[PeterNdlovu081]

When’s the last time we conceded a free kick? Seems like an age ago...

Three days ago against West Ham.

Actually CONCEDED a free kick, not gave one away

Always think these stats are slightly misleading as we dont play any games through 3 of those months! Extremely impressive nonetheless.

Actually CONCEDED a free kick, not gave one away

Conceded from a free kick.

 

[Akinbiyi]

Stoke (H)? Late on, Allen maybe? Near post, wall didn’t move, Henderson blamed

That was it. So over a year that I think out of memory.

 

[Akinbiyi]

Conceded from a free kick.

Pointless nitpicking

Don’t think I’ve ever said we’ve scored ‘from a’ penalty the other way round

 

[Paisley Blade]

That was it. So over a year that I think out of memory.

October 23 2018 so only just ..... I remember it well as I was doing a bleeding Speed Awareness course in Harrogate ( nearest place that holds one to me ) .Persuaded the bloke to let me leave 15 minutes early so I could beat the traffic( within the speed limit naturally) and get to the game , or more accurately Fannys for an hour before .

Not at all. Without the word ' from' , your sentence means something completely different.

Hull did it in 2008-09.

Blackburn 1-1 Hull
Newcastle 1-2 Hull
Arsenal 1-2 Hull
Tottenham 0-1 Hull
West Brom 0-3 Hull

I remember London 0 Hull 4, but I can't remember the rest.

 

[Beans]

You've all done it now. I for one look forward to us conceding (from) a freekick and a penalty on Saturday.

While we're at it - when was the last time we conceded an own goal?

JOC ‘scored’ one v Shrewsbury in the promotion season I think, any advance on that?

You know the football gods read what’s on here, right?

Shades of when we won our first 4 games after promotion in 1971 and were unbeaten until October that season until THAT match at OT
