'vigour' - is that what Nobby is always prattling on about?

He won't eat chips without it.

Agree entirely. We weren't fluid with the ball but I also enjoy watching good solid defence and there was plenty of that last night.

I must have been watching a different game to the one in that match report. We defended probably the best we have done all year (or 2 as we nilled them); and although as lacking in ideas in attack as ever near the line, we won pretty convincingly. Hull weren't good; that is true. However, we played as a team; we nuckled down; didn't answer back to the ref all night; defended as a unit; played in their half; and showed a great attitude. What more can the side do? They are the confident world beaters of a few years ago, but they are improving. I don't like McDermott as a coach but am prepared to give him a little longer. We aren't playing the riduculous style we did earlier in the year of throwing the ball around for fun, but seem more focused.
Next week is the one that matters. Not just because it's the cup, but because we need to put in good performances consistently. A win next week and the situation will look so much better!

Sorry, that should be NOT the confident world beaters of course! Stella and Leffe! Wicked bitches the pair of them
