Yes. Tomori as well, after the carnage at Lincoln.

That is what has impressed me the most, he has managed to put that behind him and got his head down and worked through it. Won't be a Chelsea standard defender, but with his attitude, could go very far.

I thought last night that Bruno was MOM.
His positional play and his first touch control is wonderful. There were times last night when he read the situation so well, going for a ball then stepping over
to let the ball run through for a goal kick and totally outfoxing the Wolves forward who was chising the ball down.
Add to this his understanding with both Knocky and Solly, making those overlapping runs, and finding space to give an outlet on the right when we are in posession on the left is a joy to watch.
He is a wonderful player and at the stage of his career an absolute godsend with his experience.
A great captain of the best defence I have ever soon whilst watching The Albion since 1964

All true and I have almost forgotten that half of NSC were moaning about him week in week out during Hyypia's disastrous tenure, blaming him for every goal that came down the right :smile:

Don't get too excited about the defence. Boro conceded only 31 last season, 4 less than us with four games to go. And it hasn't done them much good. We have however scored 7 more than they did in 46 games.

Cook had an absolute nightmare in that game.

Sidwell put himself around a bit at Wolves too; looked liked he could sniff promotion and it was just the next tackle away from him; a very determined performance

He had to grow a beard to achieve true greatness!
