[Eric Piazzoni]

I don't believe any of the seasons listed below finished well either.

Thanks,

Let's just digest that home record:
Played 5
Won 0
Drawn 2
Lost 3

…and that makes it the worst home record after 5 games at Portman Road
***in the club's entire history***.

That's the worst …ever.

Here are the 13 seasons when Town's first five home league matches at
home have failed to produce more than a point a game:

1949-1950       League (3rd Tier)       A Scott Duncan P(H)5    W1      D2      L2      F10     A10     Pts5
1969-1970       League (1st Tier)       Bobby Robson P(H)5      W1      D2      L2      F3      A3      Pts5
1971-1972       League (1st Tier)       Bobby Robson P(H)5      W1      D2      L2      F4      A5      Pts5
2001-2002       League (1st Tier)       George Burley P(H)5     W1      D2      L2      F5      A5      Pts5

1938-1939       League (3rd Tier)       A Scott Duncan P(H)5    W1      D1      L3      F6      A10     Pts4
1963-1964       League (1st Tier)       Jackie Milburn P(H)5    W1      D1      L3      F7      A13     Pts4
1964-1965       League (2nd Tier)       Jimmy Forsyth P(H)5     W1      D1      L3      F6      A13     Pts4
1982-1983       League (1st Tier)       Bobby Ferguson P(H)5    W1      D1      L3      F5      A7      Pts4
1985-1986       League (1st Tier)       Bobby Ferguson P(H)5    W1      D1      L3      F2      A6      Pts4

1978-1979       League (1st Tier)       Bobby Robson P(H)5      W1      D0      L4      F3      A7      Pts3
1994-1995       League (1st Tier)       John Lyall  P(H)5       W1      D0      L4      F6      A10     Pts3
2009-2010       League (2nd Tier)       Roy Keane P(H)5 W0      D3      L2      F3      A9      Pts3

2012-2013       League (2nd Tier)       Paul Jewell  P(H)5      W0      D2      L3      F5      A9      Pts2

You'll notice only once before (three years ago) have we failed to win
any of the first five matches.
