So much this. In any leadership role you need people around you who you trust and who's opinion you value. It can take a little time if you have a new bunch of guys alongside you. RH is clearly listening to them already. I am feeling increasingly optimistic since the SR takeover.

RH has previously described him as the most professional player he's worked with. Recent rumours of him leaving, so I'm not surprised at his lack of minutes. Will be a shame if he does leave: been excellent for us.

RH talking with his coaching team during a game is a new development. Didn't see it last season. A good thing too.

Great stuff. Hats off to the fans too: sounded brilliant. Points lost from winning positions is so last year. It's all about points gained from losing positions now!

Adams off the post!

ABK is a beast.

Squeaky bum time.

Good to see.

Beautiful.

He would certainly help ensure a different scoreline.

I did wonder this. We used to press like mad, and run out of steam. Maybe we're trying to manage energy levels more carefully.

Go for it!

Adams!!

Imagine the meltdown if Theo comes on!

Stu on for Moi at halftime, please.

Looking good in the few times we've got forward. So sloppy for the most part though.

Offside Mara. But a very tasty finish.

Guessing he's off.

Really looking forward to this today. Got a good feeling in my water 3-1 to Saints.

4 at the back: good! Still no Perraud. Injured still, or is he off? No Stephens. Excited to see Mara from the off. Wonder if AA will be through the middle or wide left?

Telling his wife what 8 inches is?

Time to park the negative RH stuff and get behind him and the team. He's got a new backroom team - which was desparately needed; and some new (and seemingly better) players - which we were crying out for. Wasn't the rumour SR was giving him 12 games to show he's the man for us? Works for me.

Dependable. You can trust him to put in consistent performances. A move to Villa would be good.

Yet probably not our worst ever fullback......
