It's a terrible record to have, although I'm quite surprised to hear that no Saints manager has ever lost 6 lost league games in a row.
Does that apply to top flight only? Otherwise people like Poortvliet start to come into the comparison....
All these things add up to keep the score down. For all we know, with Valery and Vokins (and no Mike Dean) we lose 5-2. A huge amount better than 9-0 obviously.
