As the polls are out in force, at least over at cafcpicks, probably the most heartening thing about today's game is that, of his 33 games in charge of the Addicks, Pardew has never lost 3 games in a row. League games, that is. Because last January, we did just that, the three in a row trick with the Arse 2-4, Notts Forest in the Cup 0-2 and then a game that gave Middlesbrough their very first away win of the season, 1-3. Just thought I'd point out that QPR have also not won away from home yet...
So that was an awful week, even worst than the current one but it was one that Pards has suffered before. Obviously he doesn't enjoy the first month of the year too much because back in January 2005, he did have three defeats in a row with westham in Tier Two completed with a 1-2 home defeat against Derby and it was Derby's first win at Upton Park for 30 years. QPR haven't won at the Valley for 20 years.
During the press conference that day two and a half years ago, Pards's laid it down "The pressure on me and on the team is increasing, and it doesn't make it comfortable. I will look in my team to find who will be up for the challenge"
And just to complete the coincidences, the goalkeeper that day against Derby was.....Lee Camp, now of QPR...

well, 3 games on the trot it is then.
This is when we find out if SAP is merely AP.
