So, our family WhatsApp U's group last night realised there might be a spooky coincidence looming.
Last night was our fourth clean sheet in a row, and as I mentioned on the other thread, the last time we achieved that was remarkably nearly 27 years ago in the 1997/98 season under Steve Wignall.
What's also notable about the 1997/98 season? The last time we achieved promotion out of League 2, and the last time we appeared at Wembley.
Just saying like...  |

Definitely, and another clean sheet, 4th on the bounce, on top of seven games unbeaten. On to Saturday against t'other exiles. |

Great first half, should be 4-0 up on that performance. I expect AFCW will be better second half, so still a lot to do. |

Much stronger side on paper selected by Danny, including Macey in goal.
Also, because of kit clash, we're playing in our black away strip tonight. Don't know why AFC couldn't have worked that out themselves and brought their own away strip, but it's only a shirt, shouldn't change anything. |

Seen the photos and you’re right, if he was driving he’s really lucky to be alive. I hope he makes a full recovery, but if the rumours are true about leg injuries his playing days might be over. |

Closed the stand, yes. Moved the goalkeepers, less so  |

Not quite en route (fortunately). All trains through Chippenham were cancelled this morning, so I was already on my way home when I learned the game itself had been postponed. Frustrating, but understandable. |

On the clean sheet point, as far as I can tell (across all competitions), the last time we achieved 4 clean sheets in a row was when we beat Posh 1-0 at Layer Road back in February 1998. This followed games against Mansfield (2-0 home), Exeter (1-0 away) and Shrewsbury Town (2-0 away). We went on to make it 5 clean sheets in a row, drawing 0-0 with Rochdale at Layer Rd.
Our record is six (twice) and not surprisingly you have to go back to Big Roy's tenure in the 1991/92 Conference for both, October and November 91 and Feb to April 92. |

Think that was the last time, and Stevenage scored two of them. |

On the subject of Notts County, ticket sales suggest a large following from the faithful. For those who are as yet undecided, Notts County have yet to confirm whether they’ll sell away tickets on the day. Tickets in advance have to be bought through their own ticketing website (you have to register), but they do e-tickets so no need to worry about them not arriving in time through the post. |

You probably want to stay clear of the unofficial Facebook groups then, that’ll send you into meltdown.
In all honesty, I hovered over Own Goal for our first scorer in the U’sual PL - gutted (but obviously elated regardless) |

Great first half, sat back second half, but still too much for a dreadful Swindon. Holloway must be wondering what he's let himself in for. As for the U's, won at a canter in a fairly average performance overall. On to Notts County! |

Well, what about that? We're at half-time and you've already reached your 4-0 prediction Durham. |

Bad news is Goodliffe and Anderson's injuries sees them not even on the bench, but the good news is Taylor has made the bench. Flanagan and Gordon start instead. |

Hahaha - I live a stones throw away from their training ground, so that probably explains all the paranormal activity keeping me awake at night. Seriously though, Holloway at his most bonkers best. |

A guy on twitter says it’s bobbins - went for a trial but no offer made. Still, if he’s good enough to even be offered a trial that’s got to count for something I suppose?
