Why have we done so well? We have defended very well but crucially we signed Josh Laurent on a free to play alongside Andy Rinomhota. They protect the back four brilliantly.
Up front Lucas Joao is a top striker at this level. With him our results last season were miles better than when he was injured. He missed much of last season. If he stays fit we should do well because he is exceptional. We have now scored 15 in 8 and conceded just 3 yet we don’t create many chances and that is a concern. The conversion rate right now is extra-ordinary. At some stage that just can’t continue.
Teams are also pressing us too much with a high press. It often works in the first half but teams cannot sustain it in the second half and then we start looking more dangerous.
