Oh yes, you made us proud.
We are on our way, but let's not get carried away. Pretty hard not to, though. Before the season there were really three things I saw that we needed to improve in order to go from a top 3 team to a top 1 team. One was the ability to turn deficits into victory. We have not proved we can do that yet as we have not conceded any goals. The second was to find a natural way of winning games away against the better teams. We have already proved we can do that. The third was to have a goalscorer who can bag 12-14 goals. He is not there yet, but Haddad yesterday showed that he delivers also when it counts.
First, the away wins. Remember we only won 5 out of 15 last year, and those five wins came against 5 of the 6 bottom teams in the table. 3 of those wins were claimed on artificial pitches. Yesterday, we beat an expected top team, on grass (albeit good grass). That is more than we managed to do all last year.
Then Haddad. It just looked right from the beginning. A strong box player with good touch and deadly finishing. Since I did not see the game, I shall not evaluate more. Just wanna say I can't wait to see him live on Friday.
Örebroers, no excuse is recognized if the stadium is not full on Friday night. I will travel 1500 km to be there.
