Town's victory over Wolves on Saturday extended their home win streak to 10 matches, however, Jim Magilton's men still have a little way to go before claiming a club record.

Back in 1956/57, as Sir Alf Ramsey was taking the Blues to the Third Division (South) title, his side managed a 14-game home league victory streak, starting with a defeat of Coventry in September and ending when Northampton won 1-0 at Portman Road six months later.
