Seven straight league wins

At Reading. Going back to 2009. Must be a record.

Yep, 6 was already a club record

 

[1973Blade]

And also an FA Cup win there as well (although we did lose there as well in the cup a few years ago).

By way of comparison, the record for consecutive defeats is 16 in a row away at Villa between 1902 and 1921.

To think my memories of Reading in the noughties was their Steve Coppell teams turning us over every time we played them.

Do you have or current run? Are we close to breaking it?

 

[dillis]

Think I went to the two games previous to this run. Typical! Seem to remember a bit of aggro between the staff at one of the games

 

[mattbianco1]

I've been there once. We lost

Awful place. Never again

My favourite there was Keef getting sent off and the sight of Christian Nade barrelling off the bench ready for action.

That was the last one we didn’t win.

The fastest red card in Premier League history. He got that after being on the pitch for just 12 seconds.

We are nowhere near close to breaking that run anywhere. Our worst current non winning league run is 14 games at Villa, but there have been a number of draws in that run.

Our record at Villa Park is wretched.

For clarity, I meant my favourite aggro, not my favourite game there... I've seen some shite in that soulless place... even when we've won

Yeah with that big ginger haired lad up front.... Always used to be a bogey team

I always think it’s incredible that they managed to move to a ground even more soulless than Elm Park, described by grounds guru Simon Inglis as “the least interesting ground in the league”.

Funny how things change.

There was a time in the first decade of this century when we simply could not beat Reading home or away.

I remember us winning 2-0 at their place in the 2002-3 Triple Assault season. Jon Harley scored one of the goals. We then just couldn't beat them for what seemed like ages.

Ipswich was another club around that time that we couldn't seem to beat.

After the 2002-3 win we drew 1 and lost 9 of the next 10 league games.

Since then I think it’s W11 D1 L1. It’s bizarre.

Same here mate. I went a few times during that period and saw us get beat every time. Don't think I've seen us win there (it's probably my most visited away ground, oddly). But since I've stopped going it's no longer a bogey team.

Don't worry, I'm staying away.

We had 7 consecutive league away defeats v Man Utd until 20-21. I'm struggling now to see any bigger figure than the 4 v Chelsea.

Edit. Scrub that we drew there in 19-20 of course. Any advance on 3 v Liverpool and Newcastle?

 

[Ndiayewillalwaysloveyou]

Squads looking strong. Anel back saturday so Basham or Clark drop outta 18

The Chelsea run is only 1 game. We drew in our first PL season under Wilder.

If my memory serves, that win in 2009 was the Brian Howard winner (on a midweek night I think?). Then the presenters on Soccer AM (think it was Tim Lovejoy and Helen Chamberlain) on the Saturday had him live on the phone to talk about his winner while he was driving to Shirecliffe for training.

I put something together this time last year and not much has changed since then. The top four longest winless away runs remain untouched over the last 12 months.

We've since won at Swansea so that hoodoo is now broken, while we've also extended the winless runs at Boro, Forest and Rotherham by 1 game since.

To think he turned out for us back in our dark days of League One. He notched a few for us that season though.

Yes, I realised and edited. As I say, I'm not seeing beyond 3.

Not just prime Dave Kitson. They had Kevin Doyle who I thought was a decent striker.

They had a fair few decent strikers they could rotate.

There have been a couple we have thrown away there, (I'm thinking of being 3-0 up and the nil nil draw where Hawkeye wasn't working).

If Clark is fit we better play him now , before his hammy goes again.

Same. I have had some shite days out at that place.

 

[PeterNdlovu081]

We even won at Reading in the awful 2010-11 relegation season.

We were 2-0 down after 20 minutes.
