more than we do on the shape of the team.
We can run a little bit less.
We can work on our game a little bit less because we're doing so well.
That is a recipe for disaster.
There's no question of that.
It won't take long at all before
that will come back to bite us.
So I think it's good that the players have got that focus.
But of course, at the moment, we're very happy.
14 points at this stage of the season is a fantastic return.
I think we've worked hard enough and probably deserve that.
But the games coming up now will be a harsh...
lesson for us not not not a reality lesson because we know the reality that's the good thing you know the good thing is that we we know the reality of our situation we know that we're not a bad team at all but we also know that we can take nothing for granted and it takes only the slightest touch of our foot off the pedal for us perhaps to be going very quickly in reverse and we don't want to do that roy enjoy this victory tonight thanks jeff i will
Absolutely not, no.
We did dominate possession in the game, we had a lot of the ball, we came across a packed defence of course, so it wasn't easy to get the clear-cut goal chances, but we certainly couldn't be accused of not trying to.
But the first goal comes from a ball in the swirling wind which makes life difficult for James Tomkins and it sits up beautifully for Glenn Murray who takes it well.
So we go 1-0 down really pretty much against the run of play.
I don't think they'd actually been in our box when they scored 1-0.
And then getting back into it 1-1 with great hopes, high hopes, high expectations that we will now go on to use our possession, you know, use the...
the territorial advantage that we had to get the second goal when, of course, we find ourselves on the end of a magnificent strike right in the join, impossible for the goalkeeper, and that turns out to be the winning goal.
