Started slowly but only to be expected after Wednesday. This is beginning to look very much like our first choice eleven & I cant even find a starting place for Tino at present. We perhaps lose a bit of pace with Stu & Ely as wide midfield but gain a far better control of the ball and goal scoring threat. Maybe should have won but I think we all would have grabbed 5 points if offered before this run of games, perhaps 3 would have been considered a good outcome? Not sure about the possible penalty but I'm certain it would have been looked at harder had it been at the other end. Us and all the other smaller teams have come to accept this even if the powers that be fail to notice. Looking forward to Everton, which I feel will be more difficult due to their league position and their need to impress Frank Lampard but we know we can beat anyone when on top form.

Pretty good performance, I think. Again, we looked focused, weel-organized and with a solid game plan, good tempo, fine distribution all over the pitch - and we look hard to beat.
It has really helped having Stu A. back and Elyounouissi has begun shining + Livramento is back from injury Furthermore Fraser Forster is in good form as are our two front men, Broja and Adams AND ..... Romain Perraud, our big hearted, french left back.
A good point vs Manure.
Now we need to go on and beat Everton before we take on West Ham in a mouth watering last 16 FA cup game.
We are tenth and look good! Good job Ralph.
