Lovely to see us dropping far less points at home too

Seems good indeed, but the negative is the result against West Ham, which is minus 2 points compared to last season imo as we beat both promoted sides home and away if I''m remember correctly? Devil''s advocate..The other real positive is the clean sheets as you say! How many games did it take last season..15 or something? A record I think.

[/quote]So if you add West Ham then we''re on the 10 points from this season. The only comparable games from last season would be QPR or Swansea at home, which we won and that would be a total of 10 points from last season too. So we''re on a par, BUT we have 3 clean sheets in those 10 games this season!:)

Although i would say the Sunderland game last season was as poor as anything we have seen this season.

Interesting angle on this, and you could add in 3 cup wins (including Spurs) against the 0-4 loss at home to MK Dons last year. The clean sheets are also a key as the solidity of the squad seems show CH & co''s increasing influence. I would put the recent resurgence down to the squad ''geling'' under CH, which is reflected in the growing confidence of the defence with Johnson and Tettey adding strength in CMF. Tettey in particular has added a whole new dimension to both defending and linking forward with the attack. Long may it continue!
