We wanted it just a little bit more than Wolves wanted it

[Pugin 601]

This is why we just about shaded the game. We had Kenny and Brandon Williams risking life and limb throwing themselves into challenges (in the air and on the deck). Wolves had no one who quite showed that level of committment or bravery.

It bodes really well, and if we maintain it we will get over the line against quite a few sides. It sets a benchmark to everyone in the side. 

Show this type of determination, get the technical, tactical and psychological things right, and the points will continue to accrue. Newcastle are ideal opponents for a side in this mood as they have a sophisticated manager and sophisticated players who might not fancy it.

I must admit that I have never thought Jonjo Shelvey was sophisticated, but I get your overall point.

Under Farke I saw frightened players out on the pitch scared of deviating from strict instructions and losing their place in the team because of it.

 

Max Aarons is a new man now he can do what comes naturally and while Smith doesn't have a magic wand he can end the restrictive over coaching that stifled passion and individuality.
