Wednesday win.
I know a draw makes sense mathematically, but come the end of the season I feel 3pts between us and Newcastle will be more significant – let's get ahead and stay ahead. I'd rather us be looking over our shoulder at Newcastle than Reading or Derby in 3rd.
This. Being injured Solly may have slipped from our thoughts a bit, but if he can get back to the level he was at last season, and build on it, he will be one of our best players.
Come on, it's really not that bad. Let's give Allardyce's system time to gel and appreciate a clean sheet and a solid high possession performance. We have plenty of individual talent in this team – they just haven't shown it for England yet.
No, I'd be optimistic that we've held on to Knockaert, Stephens and Dunk (touch wood), and that March is coming back into fitness, allowing a system where March takes AK's right-midfield position and AK sits behind Murray or Hemed.
