The defence got no protection from midfield either,when we went down.
We didn't need one last season,as Colo found it so easy.
And this year the defence has protection with Cheick.
I would blame Colo's first season on the likes of Butt not protecting them/him.
If Capello has been picking SWP and Bareth Garry in the shocking form they're in + Milner come to think of it,there could easily be a place for Barton.
Just wow.It's nice to feel this good about the team again,considering where Hughton started from,the last 15 months have been nothing short of phenomenal.He deserves all of the praise that surely will be thrown at him.
They got relegated tons of times ,to return as a miniscule force.
We've come back superior to them,in current parlance,They're going to feel a little bit aggrieved.
