I think amoungst all these positive posts we need to give a special mention to the improvement in defence. What a great difference Mulgrew and Francis have made lately and Barrett and Clarke are putting in some excellent performances.
I think 5 goals conceeded in 10 games speaks for itself. Combined with the extra goals we now have coming in means we are getting balls in the net, and keeping them out at the right ends of the pitch.
It seems all is coming together at the right time and with the new additions in January to improve our attack and the vast improvement in keeping the balls out of the net in our own end we now seem to have everything covered and are a real strong team.
Last night was another immense performance at the back. I didnt ever really feel too worried when the ball was in our half and was confident that the defence could deal with anything. Which they did. Solid performances from all of them back there.
Also a mention to Darryl who was good last night albeit that he didnt have an awful lot to do. Nice to see him coming up for a few more catches rather than punches and not flapping in the air too much. With a more solid back line im sure it helps his confidence too.
And what more could we ask for from Barrett - great confidence, solid defending and an absolutely blinding goal to cap off a great night. Great goal celebration and you can tell just how much it means to him when he ran straight over the West to the fans. Barrett you are a complete legend and a great leader and captain and I think with that we can all say....Maher who?
