That's the same starting lineup for 4 consecutive games...
19/9/2011 v Coventry City (H) (NPower Championship) 3-0
24/9/2011 v Middlesbrough (A) (NPower Championship) 0-027/9/2011 v
West Ham United (A) (NPower Championship) 1-01/10/2011 v Brighton &
Hove Albion (H) (NPower Championship) 3-1
...the longest such run since a sequence of 5 games, some thirteen and
a half years ago:

18/4/1998 v Port Vale (H) (Division 1) 5-1
25/4/1998 v Bury (A) (Division 1) 1-0
28/4/1998 v Sunderland (H) (Division 1) 2-0
3/5/1998 v Crewe Alexandra (H) (Division 1) 3-2
10/5/1998 v Charlton Athletic (H) (Division 1 Play-Off Semi-Final, 1st Leg) 0-1

(1. Richard Wright 2. Mick Stockwell 3. Mauricio Taricco 4. Kieron
Dyer 5. Mark Venus 6. Jason Cundy 7. Jamie Clapham 8. Matt Holland 9.
David Johnson 10. Alex Mathie 11. Bobby Petta)

Of course, I do realise that the relationship between decent runs of
results and settled lineups is a bit chicken-and-egg!

Here's something interesting though. We had the same starting lineup
for 3 consecutive games back in April, and before that in February,
both runs under Paul Jewell. However, on just one occasion in the
preceding 11 years did we do that (under Joe Royle in October 2003).
So Paul Jewell has managed to field the same starting lineup for three
games or more on three separate occasions in less than a year,
something Royle was able to do once, and both Magilton and Keano the
Tinkerman never did.
