Yep

But at least we look like we might be able to defend. Which is a considerable improvement on where we were.

Fight and energy also better, very little passive football.

My second point re considerable improvement being required reflects the fact that our goal scoring record is woeful.

The point of encouragement of course being that tzolis, rashica and cantwell are available if we can find a way to integrate them.
