The lack of "along came Norwich" moments is leading to an increasing

sense of belief that this season is different.

In years gone by i'd look at home games against Rotherham and Bolton of the back of a great run as inevitable f**k ups in waiting and of course that may still happen (and we clearly aren;t going to win every game for the rest of the season and will have some setbacks) but you can;t help but feel that IF we play well to the standard we have set then we should have too much about us for most teams at this level.

I genuinely did not fancy us at Swansea but I think on reflection Stiepermann is right in that teams trying to play football against us suits us whereas Millwall caused us more problems than most with their physicality. Our weakness remains in the air and from crosses and I would expect the more limited teams to try and get the ball wide, get crosses in to the far post and try and get taller players one on one in the air against our full backs who are both great but not the biggest or strongest in the air.

Other than crosses the only other time we seem to conceded is when Krul f**ks up which he;s having another little run of at the moment. Thankfully its not hurting us like it was at the start of the season, at the moment.
