There are clear differences from last season. A better keeper is making a huge difference. The side is much more settled and there's definitely not as much tinkering with the starting formation. (e.g moving White to DM)
Game management has improved. Take the first 10 minutes yesterday where we hardly had a touch, we managed to shut up shop and not give it away with a silly risky pass while under lots of pressure.
First half of last season we probably would've folded and baeen behind early, I guess that goes...
