The most significant change in recent weeks is our improvement in shots - 15 yesterday with7 on target. Also 50% of the ball. This is a marked improvement on earlier this season.
Thought we were shaky, nervous even, for the first 30 minutes. However, after Norwich scored we controlled large parts of the game and thoroughly derserved the win. Rene positivity!! He wasn't our MOTM but I reckon David Stockdale deserves a mention - particularly for his distribution.
What a great result that was. To say I'm relieved is an understatement. There definitely does seem to be some spirit back in the side which is great. I was beginning to be a little worried with all the talk of improved performances but no points. Having said that we have played some very good sides in the last 4 weeks. We needed the win as everyone around us won too. Palace got a good win at Villa, Sunderland got a great 3 points at Everton and WBA drew at Spurs. We are playing well at the moment and in the ascendancy. Did anyone read the report on the Norwich forum, Bandit did I know, he said that we were poor. Not sure if he saw the same game to be honest. We're clearly not Liverpool etc but we were not poor! This time last year we were on 20 points - 4 more than this year.
