Good to see some humility fellas, Its progress when you reduce a side, used to coming here and pocketing three points, to absolutely nowt.

Plans coming together, probably gains further momentum with Grabban scoring, Carvalho running another show and Heffele, Fox and the screen of Pep and Colback looking almost inpenetrable.

Thats an AK performance in a nutshell, unpick the opposition, get the goal, bring em out and kill em off. Its going to be a slog of a season for anyone who didn't enjoy that for a nights entertainment.

Dont see us taking teams to the cleaners, but another masterclass Saturday and we're in this for the duration.

Hence the reason why those early concession of goals had to stop for the plan to work - heff has been the differentiator in stopping us conceding early goals - it really was holding us back.
Regarding Carvalho he didn’t run the game at all Cjay, what you want to happen or foresee could happen is different to what actually happened. As I said last night he grew into the game and gave glimpses of his talent I think it’s very possible he could dictate games - it’s inaccuraye to say he did that last night but he did do 100% better than he has since the WBA game. A thumbs up from me for carvalho for making the improvements necessary for a player with whom we’ve put a lot of faith in by spending a club. Record 13 million on.

Nice to see the back four looking a lot more stronger with fox and the heffa outstanding good to see him being vocal and waving his arms about dragging players forward we have been missing this for seasons well done to all

We have some older and wiser heads beginning to have an effect:
Pantilimon, Hefele, Guediora and Fox (who completely outjumped his 6feet four opponent last night) and Watson/Dawson when needed. Add to that the creative abilities of Carvalho and Osborn, and the speed and thrust of Janko, Cash, Dias and Lolley with Colback making Vaughan-like crunching tackles, and you can see the blend AK is aiming for. Calm heads on the pitch and a terrier like approach to everything by everybody, pushing up to pin the opposition down, is just what we have needed for so long! But there will be slips and blips no doubt. Cjay is right it's a 2 year process but if they continue to be so good to watch with a mid-week crowd of 26,000 pushing them on, this year could be at last our turning point.
