He did say better team in the second half and he's probably correct.

How soon we forget [ best defence in the Prem at that time.

We have a new hipster phrase as this analysis mentions something called Field Tilt. What next I wonder?

So the only time we should hear from JW should be an annual fans forum?

I think this thread is worth a bump because there hasn't been much chat about JW since the two heavy defeats to Sunderland and Leicester (after which I commented that he probably wouldn't sleep easy) followed by two more losses. This worrying spell of course led to the current unbeaten run. JW seems content to stay in the background which is probably a good thing but it would be interesting to hear his views on the evolution of the team bearing in mind the long unbeaten run. It's got me wondering whether he has had much, if any, input into any tweaks in our set-up and style of play. RM is clear that they speak most if not every day. JW strikes me as someone who invests 100% into improving the side and with his undoubted knowledge and enthusiasm coupled with a burning ambition he must be delighted at how we are performing. I'd love to see a fly-on-the-wall type film of his typical working week. It would be good to learn more about his overall role as, whatever influence he has, it is certainly paying dividends so I'm chuffed that we have Jason in our camp.

But if we'd lost 3 and drawn 1 of our last 7 games I doubt you'd be talking about an unbelievable run. Ok, they have a good record over the season but their current run is ordinary at best.

Yeah, agree,

Is that the unbelievable run that has seen them lose 3 and draw 1 of their last 7 games?

Only if Man City, Liverpool or Arsenal sign him.

I'd think he would be competition/cover for the likes of Stu Armstrong and Charlie Alcaraz.

To describe him as a defensive midfielder is wrong imo as I think he is attack minded. Just watched his skills video from when he played at Blackburn and I couldn't believe how easily he glides past opponents sometimes getting past 3 or 4 at a time. He may have lost some of that ability but would suggest people look at that video because it is an eye opener. If he can recreate some of those skills for us he'd be a huge asset. Let's see.

Still confident we'll finish above Ipswich. We are a much better side and they will drop more points than us between now and the end of the season.

Shame.

Arma has been brilliant all season- plays his position superbly with a healthy combination of goals and assists. Very pleased for him.

Nah, they're wide open at the back 🙂

Sunderland one up 🙂

Just watching Man City - is Pep trying to copy us?

So presumably the play after that when we scored the 3 goals must have been like watching Brazil at their best 🙂

3 points gained on Leicester plus a swing of 6 in goal difference. Nice.

What, between them and Leicester for second place behind us? 🙂

Cut me a slice please 🙂

Another comprehensive home victory. We are almost unplayable at St Marys now.

A goal and 2 more assists for Arma!

Leicester glancing over their shoulder nervously 🙂

This lad looks a very good prospect and is a decent size for a midfielder. Great to get him signed especially as there was interest from Prem clubs.
