Another important fact about our current run of form is that our goal difference is slowly improving and there are now 6 teams with a worse GD.
Not bad when you consider a certain home game against Leicester.

Double 6 is basically another way of saying 4222 or double pivot. We had a decent enough start in the games where we played 4 at the back but 6 thru 12 is best forgotten along with the 3-5-2 flat formation. Interesting that we got a result at wolves with 3-4-2-1. Wonder what ralph will do for the return leg next week.

That first goal had very much a Danny Ings look about it. Some great finishing there!

Note to Ralph.
The number 2 is quick, scored and can cross the ball. Show this video to Cedric, especially the crossing bit.
