WBA now lead by 2! Great stat: Since 1990, only Grant Holt has made it to 10 NCFC goals in fewer games than Pukki.

Properly top the league by clear points over the International Break. Amazing. Is the break good? Recovery and maybe some players back from knocks, work on the training ground? Is the break bad? We are on fire, don't stop this momentum with pointless internationals?
My instinct feel: Krul - 5 Aarons - 9 Klose - 8 Zimmermann - 6 Lewis - 6 Leitner - 8 Tetty - 7 Buendia - 8 Stiepermann - 7 Hernandez - 7 Pukki - 8 Vrancic - n/a Rhodes - 8
Yep! What I was saying earlier. He looked so impressive today. He is massively outshining Lewis, and Lewis has been fantastic, and is more established. Incredible.
We got away with winning another match having missed a penalty. Only one scored out of five. Surely DF should address this issue urgently as there is going a day when we won’t get away with it. The man to take them - Leitner for me. On paper we should have won this fairly easily but the players seem determined sometimes to make life more difficulty for themselves. The escape button has been pressed on many occasions this season which this team certainly deserve for their determination. The turn round in fortunes is remarkable.
I think it comes at a good time, assuming Pukki, Lewis, Aarons, Hernandez and Klose don't return after international duty with injuries. Warm weather training should give us time to work on a few things, and gives Farke a chance to set fresh short-term goals and manage expectations. Bailey said in his match notes you could almost sense the "top of the league" chants got to the players at 2-1 today. Tettey definitely needs a rest with the amount he's played, and we should have Hanley and Cantwell fully fit after the break.
I did not feel comfortable with the "top of the league" chants at 2-1 either. I didn't join in at that stage. I feel uncomfortable with the arrogance and tempting fate.
