Can’t believe it was Cheltenham and Port Vale were literally the only tense games. The most important moment of the final run in was arguably Broadheads penalty against Vale. The other two won away that night and maybe a home draw could have rocked the boat a little but I think we would have still likely been fine. If Walton didn’t go for a walk against Cheltenham we would literally be looking at winning every game since Valentines day. Just an unprecedented run, whatever the level. Even more unprecedented when you consider we played 4 of the top 6 away. Just wish we hadn’t finish playing Plymouth in January! |  | | |  |

Agree. I think that's why so many of us are suddenly desperate to win the title so this team gets the respect it deserves.
There's a sense that yesterday is the beginning as well. I keep checking the website hoping to see them selling memberships or ticket bundles. Just sell me something Town! |  |

I wonder whether the Cheltenham result was a bit of a blessing in disguise with hindsight. There was alot of hype building about the winning and clean sheet run.
Lots of the talk after that from the players was about refocusing which they clearly did. Absolutely unbelievable run. |  | | |

It is just the beginning that’s why the excitement is a different level. Destroying clubs weekly at the top of this division suggests we would more than hold our own next year already. The momentum, the fanbase, the general feeling around the place indicates a very bright future. Treading water in the Championship all those years, we needed a reboot. Four years in league 1 wasn’t ideal but to come out of this with this Gamechanger, KM and this squad and a much rejuvenated fanbase means the extra year on or two might have been very worth it.

Possibly although it’s not like they didn’t seem focused. There can be an element of extra pressure when such a long standing record still on though. | | | |

I totally agree, was also thinking a reset to league one might do us good, but hoped for a Norwich-style version rather than how long it’s taken. But Leeds, Sheff Utd, Southampton and Wolves all managed to bounce back, so had confidence that we would too |  |

Yeah, you look at what happened to sheffield wednesday after their 23 game run came to an end. Just fell to bits. | | | |

I think what might be slightly overlooked in this run is how kind the fixtures were to us after Bristol Rovers. I know it doesn’t always play out like the league table BUT we had four poor teams in a row just as our new signings were finding their feet, then lift off!
For example I wouldn’t have fancied going to Derby/Bolton the day we went to MK. Also those home games against Forest Green, Accrington were nice for the partnerships to start to forge before goijg into the business end of the season. Just my opinion. | | | |
