Well, let's enjoy it while it lasts. A good opening to the season, but of the four teams we've played, none were 'great shakes'. However, remembering that we won the pre-season match-warmers against Arsenal and Man U as well, perhaps we have good reason to be opti.
Our boys certainly seem to be playing with more vim, with McGinn quietly getting back to his old form and Jack has done well. Conor is Conor, but as last night proved, he can be in the right spot at the right time, adding to his deadball skills. But how long will he last with a new midfielder being touted? Luiz was not quite on form last night, and Trez doesn't achieve a lot but always seems to provide something good to remind people of his presence. Ramsey could be very good indeed.
The new players have also done well i.m.o., with Ollie showing mobility and footballing skills that give me confidence, though he's yet to make his goalscoring mark in the league. Matt Cash looks well acclimatised, while Traore is just plain cool, and I was disappointed he was not brought on last night as soon as we went into a 3-0 lead.
Anyway, folks, look who's up at VP this week-end! And after the 'Pool, we go to the newly rampant Leicester City. Wow! Two testers indeed, and if we can get 2 or 3 points from those matches I will be very pleased.
We wait and see.
UTV!
