Sado that I am, I have looked back and the most recent I can find is 1977.

Not entirely sure, but 1996/7, didn't we go 12th April 4-0 (Oxford), 25th April 4-1 (Charlton), 8th May 7-0 (Swindon)?
According to Bolton-Mad we scored plenty during that period but not 3 home games on the trot. We only beat QPR 2-1.

Sat 08 Mar 1997 SWINDON TOWN W 7-0

Tue 18 Mar 1997 PORT VALE W 4-2

Sat 05 Apr 1997 QUEENS PARK RANGERS W 2-1

Sat 12 Apr 1997 OXFORD UNITED W 4-0

The same 76-77 season Bolton had 7 out of 9 home matches where they scored 3 or more goals.

Right. No changing the rules this time DSB. The last time I can find us winning three home matches by at least three goals actually included a run of five consecutive wins.

Wed 02 Sep 1964 SOUTHAMPTON H League W 3-0

Sat 12 Sep 1964 PRESTON NORTH END H League W 5-1

Wed 16 Sep 1964 MIDDLESBROUGH H League W 4-2

Sat 26 Sep 1964 PLYMOUTH ARGYLE H League W 6-1

Sat 10 Oct 1964 CRYSTAL PALACE H League W 3-0

The next three home matches included a 2-1 win, a 3-1 win and a 3-2 win. So seven out of eight matches ended with us winning by us scoring at least 3 goals.

A hearty round of applause for that man. (Or "round of the floors" as I used to think it was, before I'd heard of Dave Sutton. Not that he taught me otherwise.)

So: first time in 50 years we've won 3 successive home league games scoring 3+ each time. Not bad for the moribund bunch NL took over. Long may it last.

Incredible. I was a bit well-jel when Rosler went there and we were still landed with Know-Nowt Douglas.

Indeed, I thought he'd do well there, given time.

Love this quote... sacked "after a disappointing set of results" - a set that included a 2-1 win at Derby less than a month ago....! Looks like Whelan had an itch he couldn't help but scratch!

So just to confirm: it's the right decision, once a manager has taken over from Owen Coyle, led his team on a great run raising hopes of promotion back to the PL at the first time of asking after all before coming up short, to then fire him not long into the next season if he has a shit start?

Just wondering :D.

That's two managers Lenno's seen off in six games. Can he do the double over Lee Clark next week?

That would be quick, even for Oyston.

.... & doubly cruel on Lee Clark.

Now .... if it was Leeds !!
