Numerous points can be gleaned from our emphatic victory against Norwich, so here are a few of my selection.
Firstly, we have laid to rest the jinx that we cannot beat "top" sides in important games. Last season, as many have pointed out, we failed to beat Middlesbrough, Burnley, Derby, and only beat Hull, at home, at the start of the season.
Secondly, the result and performance yesterday has set down a marker to the rest of the Championship that we mean business, as reflected in our league position.
Thirdly, after 15 games, we have the same number of points (31) as at the corresponding game last season. And, with a much better goal difference. We can now look back on last season as a stepping stone to greater things for this season rather than what might have been.
Finally, I feel that that the team, and the squad, are so much stronger and able to cope in more in difficult situations. Having Sidwell and Duffy, for example, means that we will not have the problems of replacing injured players with makeweights.
I don't know about you, but I'm still on such a high after yesterday's win. I hope that continues into next May.
