The thing that bothers me is looking at the table and seeing us in 10th place which suggests we are bang average. We should be higher than that.A point off two teams we have two games in hand over, which would put us higher than we've finished for a decade. How many of us, hand in heart, wouldn't settle for that? I think the problem is that we look so good most of the time that you can't help thinking we should win, which given where we were 12 months ago is incredible.I keep saying to my brother that I'm not worrying about results now, because I'm so confident that our play will reap its rewards in the fullness of time, and that we will learn and improve as a team.And also because watching us play is just tremendous fun.

I think we should be given a bigger share of the TV money at the end of the season given we actually play football the football that attracts viewers and makes for entertaining football.Take it off the “results are all that matters” merchants, that might make them realise why they get paid like they do.

We're not putting them away that's the problem. We are a brilliant team to watch and I would much rather us being the way we are and losing playing that way than watching a team like Burnley or Newcastle week after week. And the Burnley defensively collapse was an anomaly given how well we've defended overall. And to think we will have the likes of Morgan Sanson on the bench at the weekend whereas this time last season we were fielding the likes of Baston, Lansbury and Drinkwater. Progress doesn't have to come in big leaps and bounds but ours has. I'm delighted as to where we are and more importantly the direction we are headed.

At times we look like we're playing a different game to the side we're playing against, Liverpool being the obvious example (!!!!!) but even first half against Burnley last weekend, it was like Wednesbury Athletic vs Brazil. Said to my dad after that game, we're not far off having an exceptional side.For me1. Grealish2. Martinez3. Targett4. Cash5. WatkinsBut I do think we've got probably a dozen players on 9/10 or 10/10 seasons. Tyrone Mings has been the most disappointing, mainly because he's only on a 7.5/10! He's still been pretty damn good.
