I have to say, having seen the lads at the Charlton game, I felt I had seen a togetherness and feeling in the team that I had not seen before. The lads looked really in it together, the work ethic was excellent, and the team spirit was a joy to behold.
Watch the Morientes goal, and Stevie G looks like its the FA Cup final winning goal, and then in the huddle JC (Superstar) turns and gets all the lads involved in the "group hug" celebration.
Tuesday nights' win away at the valley was in fact the 3rd time this season in the premiership that we have been behind at half time and managed to turn around the defecit and pick up all three points.
The previous occsions of course being Man City at home and away at Fulham. If you add to those results the Champions League game at Anfield (what a game) when against Olympiakos the boys managed comeback of immense proportions, and you can see why there is renewed optimism amongst some fans. Roberts take note!!
I am sure most of you already knew about all those results, but maybe you have not yet put them all together. You see what is interesting is that no other team has managed this feat more than once this season. The feat being to overturn a half time defecit. The statistics are infact that Manchester United (twice) plus Portsmouth , The Villa, and Norwich are the only teams to do have managed to do it once in the league.
