They were also regarded as under dogs in that league and could justifiably play counter attacking football.

Lazy post so apologies if it's already been mentioned but when was our last away win by a three goal margin in the league?
To those that were at the match, is there any truth that Terry was far more vocal yesterday than in previous games?
Thanks Lee. So effectiveness, that is, what you can do with possession is not factored in. Thus Westwood purposelessly running 60 yards across the pitch for one minute counts the same as say, four linked passes that might lead to something for a similar period. As Charles Dickens might have written. Statistics is a ass.
Message to Steve Bruce who has spent his career managing underdogs. Please understand the difference between hysteria and expectation that comes from managing a big club. Hull - Disappointing after signings made and full pre-season Cardiff - Desperate Reading - Desperate (Don't be fooled by our late goal making it look closer)Norwich - Excellent, stumbled across KD due to injuries Wigan - Excellent, different players coming in but continue with attacking intent Bristol - Changes structure of winning team and loses all momentum Brentford - fails to spot small ginger headed guy who has run the last three games we have played against themMiddlesbrough - wastes 40 mins by not changing things whilst we have extra playerBarnsley- ExcellentPlease use the Barnsley game as platform, stop going on about hysteria and start spotting things that are happening on the pitch.
