“Borrowed from the excellent http://twtd.co.uk, Ipswich’s nine results so far this season form a mirror image/palindrome (0-2, 1-4, 2-2, 1-1, 0-0, 1-1, 2-2, 1-4, 0-2 seeing as you ask). Longer/longest streaks please!” tweets Nigel Smith.
Ipswich’s palindrome went pop when they lost 4-3 to Brentford at the weekend, unless they have an even longer one in mind and are going to lose 4-3 to Leicester on Saturday. The nine-match streak they inadvertently put together isn’t quite a record for the top four divisions in England. We know this because of Chris Roe’s Magic Database™.
