    The man marking was so much more effective at set pieces than the zonal tragedy we have had for what seems like eternity. It clearly needs a bit more polish (no pun on Bednarek intended) in open play but the combination of pressing by the front 5 and marking by the back 5 was clearly a step up.

    And people would still audibly groan whenever he gives the ball away.

    But yeah, would be good to see him prove the doubters wrong

    Good stuff and I’m enjoying the new optimism.
    Confidence has been a stranger to the club for too long

    Got back from the match quite late yesterday so have just finished watching the whole re run of the match from what I recorded on sky sports.

    That last 10 mins after Austin scored, I was nervous that Arsenal would equalise. How nuts is that.

    I must say that, if that were the case, then I hadn’t noticed it.

    I’ve been watching the highlights on the OS repeatedly and every time I scream at Romeu to get rid!

    I did lip read Ralph saying “See you in January” to Aubameyang though!

    And almost as importantly, it's what the fans need.

    Been a little disillusioned it's fair to say, more so with the atmosphere around the fans than with the team or club itself. Not that the team has been particularly enlightening either eh? Had a few bad experiences with hearing remarks about certain players that shouldn't be repeated and such, really just soured me and then made it even harder to ignore the treatment some players have gotten. Of course on here isn't nearly as bad but just found whenever I logged in I'd see a few comments that would just make me despair. So better off hiding away under the covers. Maybe if our recovered positive approach spreads then I'll be happier popping in more.

    I would say it's good to see you, but it's better to see Kylie...

    Huddersfield's possession stats have gone through the roof recently. 68% vs Brighton, 67% vs Bournemouth (away) , 74% vs Newcastle. Really looking forward to the tectical battle. Will Wagner adapt to play more on the counter?
