Tbh I'm only just starting to realise how hard to beat our team is. Earlier in the season I thought we'd come unstuck at Ipswich and then thought it would be either Reading or Wednesday.

But, actually I cant think of a game we've even come close to losing. Maybe Bristol City if a couple of key moments went against us.Them and Cardiff, both at the Amex, are the ONLY teams to Have taken a lead against us this season.

We really do have no one to fear and barring any bad misfortune or loss of form, I can only see this run continuing.

Burnley and Derby away look tricky fixtures, but really we just need to worry about MK Dons for now.

Can see us going unbeaten for 22 games ( not including Middlesbrough last season ), then going to Brentford with the half season marker looming, and losing up there.

But 1 hurdle at a time. Let's beat Birmingham next.

It's amazing how optimistic that poll was, more than a third of us expected us to beat undefeated by the time of the Burnley game (not me, I thought we'd lose to Bolton)

We just need one or two top forwards and these draws would be wins. The team was set up for a win on Sunday with two attacking wingers and two forwards. This is so much better that the football under Poyet. It was strange as the media kept saying about Poyets wonderful football style.

12 Dec. Derby to win 2-1.
Hope I am proven wrong but they are getting their act together and our run has to end somewhere.
I feel dirty. Bad fan.

Nah, I stupidly forgot to set the poll to close after a few days. Initially the poll was heavily pessimistic with the exception of many people voting the last option as a joke, the seeming optimism came from recent votes every time this thread was bumped.

I know what you mean. IT is so tempting to put two and two together, as you have done, and I have thought of this as well. However, I would venture to say that literally no one on here thought that we would get through Reading, SW and Burnley away and not lose one. it really did seem too much to ask for and the odd scare aside, they managed it pretty comfortably. So, perhaps I should be more positive about Derby away.

If the poll is still open, could somebody who hasn't yet voted put a vote in for Charlton, please?

At the moment it's the only game before Christmas with exactly zero votes, which practically guarantees that it will be the one where we slip up.
