* With their fourth consecutive home win, the Bluebirds now sport an impressive 4-1-0 record at Ninian Park. This haul of 13 points from a possible 15 is City's best five-game start to a home campaign since the 1948/49 season. Then in the Second Division, the club followed up a 3-3 draw against Luton Town in the home opener that year with wins in their next four league matches at Ninian Park (2-1 over Southampton, a pair of 3-0 triumphs over Grimsby and QPR, and a 2-1 win over Fulham). City finished fourth that season.
* City have now won three consecutive games, each by a margin of three or more goals. It's been 60 years since the club last managed this feat. The beloved 1946/47 Bluebirds, who went on to win the Division 3-S title with a magnificent 30-6-6 record, dispatched four consecutive opponents in September and October of that year and by a combined goal difference of 18-0! The run began on September with a 5-0 rout of Swindon Town, with Colin Gibson netting a hat trick and Stan Richards and Bryn Allen getting the other two. At Brighton five days later, City dispatched the Seagulls 4-0 as Richards scored twice, Allen and Billy Rees once each. In the next match, at Ninian Park on October 5, City blasted Exeter 5-0. Richards got two more and Allen another, to go with goals from Billy Baker and Roy Clarke. Then on October 12, City won again, 4-0 at Port Vale, with Richards tallying two yet again and Clarke and Rees scoring as well.
The Bluebirds started somewhat slowly that year, winning three and losing three of their first six. After 2-1 win over Aldershot in their next game on September 21, the club stood eighth in the table. With their 4-0 win at Port Vale October 12, City moved to the top of the table and stayed there from then on. The win over Aldershot started a 21-game unbeaten streak (19 wins and two draws), still the club's longest-ever unbeaten sequence. This run included, as well, a nine-game winning streak, still the club's longest in that category.
* On only one other occasion in club history have the Bluebirds won three in a row by margins of three or more goals. That feat came in the 1931/32 campaign, an otherwise forgettable season that saw City finish ninth in Division 3-S. The run began with a 4-1 win over Luton Town at Ninian Park on Boxing Day, followed by home wins over Northampton 5-0 on January 2 and over Torquay 5-2 on January 13.
