There's no doubting our season performances are way above expectations dreamed of back in August.
If we can start to relax around opposition 25 yard area and take our time to play the simple pass and score. IMO I think this is why our goals have dried up; more shooting from edge of area needed, taking too many touches with the ball getting tangled under feet, opposition shutting us out, and the chance to score has gone.
It's like watching Arsexxl when they were trying to walk the ball into the net.
Sorry about the reference to Arsexxl, we are universally a far superior team to them and any other.
Everything crossed for getting back to winning games and promotion.

I think this combination of players getting used to each other on the pitch at the same time, I noticed a few times when we had two players in exactly the same place, fighting for the same ball. The attacking players are now very fluid and seem to be able to pop up all over the pitch. In the second half we had 3/ 4 players on the pitch who have all played the 10 at different times. Just need to work out how Brown fits in and then hopefully some consistency until season end!

Your right with your Arsenal comparison Bilko. That's what you get with Tki-Taki football. Unfortunately the final decision making is letting them down. Snatched shots, scuffed shots, pass when should shoot, but at least they are getting there. Most teams with a new manager take a couple of seasons to put together a charge like ours. So yes, we are exceeding expectations. Unfortunately as our position has increased so have our expectations. Now nothing less than auto promotion is acceptable. Having said that it is not outside the realms of possibility, even a playoff spot would seem to many a success this year. Whatever it is, at least we have a manager who everyone is behind and apart from a few questionable personnel choices, can do no wrong. Long may he/ it continue.
