I must say i'm rather relieved that this year we have finished off our first away match of the season, regardless of how we managed it. I was worried for a while at 1-1 that we'd be throwing away points like we did against Fulham and Everton away at the beginning of the year that I feel was the catalyst for our poor away form last year. Itâs good that we have managed that first away win straight away and hopefully we can have a much better away record as well as maintaining our home form, if so I think things may turn out nicely!
Looks like the Hawthorns will be hard for anyone to get maximum points. We know that from last season so it was vital to get the 3 points. Performance generally was okay but it doesn't really matter at the moment as long as we are getting the points and already 2 points clear of our rivals! Well let's hope Swansea can pull out a performance!
We did win there last year so we should have expected to this year I think. The real test is the next away game at Bolton. We had to come back from losing positions there twice last season to get a draw and if they can get a result against City next week they will be on a high. We NEED to beat Spurs and Arsenal in our next games to go into the Bolton away game high on confidence.
