I think Norwood's interview vs West Brom said it all about our players. A massive win, immediately downplayed in the aftermath. Dowell then speaking of the bigger picture and wanting to win the league.
Contrast to the same players that drew 0-0 after an embarrassing and unambitious, not to mention fortuitous point. Shirts in the crowd, lap of honour almost. That mentality doesn't even reside in our players. It does in theirs because they did it.
We are so professional. I'd love it if we dismantled them about 4-0. Now what you tramps?
Since we trampled on them 4-2 last time, our team is much stronger.
Hendo is better than what we had last year.
Basham/Cranie, Egan, O'Connell is better than CCV, Wright, O'Connell.
Whilst the wingbacks are the same, they've developed further, especially Stevens.
As good as Coutts was last season, you can't deny that Norwood brings some excellent end product matched by few in the league. Fleck is the same and in good form now and Dowell in for Basham is a more potent move.
Up top, Billy is in excellent form, as was Leon to be fair. We don't have Brooks but the threat of McGoldrick or Madine is equally dangerous.
Them. They signed nobody of note but lost their first choice right back.
