If you told me a week ago after the WBA draw we'd beat Coventry and Norwich I wouldn't have believed you, but that is tremendous resilience from the lads, even when we're not really at our attacking best. But I've said it recently, one of the key reasons for our good form is our defensive solidity. That starts with Peretz signing, and reintegrating Bree. Then it comes from playing the back 4 which THB is much more comfortable playing. You know Jack is playing well when people hardly mention him, and even Manning has stepped up to cover Welington's absence admirably. Then there's Downes in front, probably in the best form of his career. With a foundation like that we can go into games knowing we won't concede, or at least won't concede many.
Keep it tight against Oxford on Saturday and another 1-0 would do.
