Hootun had eight unbeaten, as I believe did DF last season? Or do you mean wins rather than just avoiding defeat?
We won 6 in a row under Neil in 2015, I can't find a headline on a longer run, but that's not the most thorough search. It doesn't answer the question, but: This season is our best ever start in the second tier, with the exception of the title winning 03-04 season (34 points). Our next three results in that season were LDD, with 2 wins in 6. So we have a very real opportunity of getting ahead of the PPG rate from that season.
