League position: 20th . Wolverhampton Wanderers had now become the first team to remain without a win after 18 games of a season in the top division since Bolton Wanderers in 1902-03 in League Division One. . Wolves had now become the second-ever team to take two points or fewer from their first 18 games of a league season: previously Newport County in League Division Four in 1970-71 (two points). . They were now without a win in their last 11 away league games: the longest current such run in the top four divisions.
