Hi everyone Big UTV!
At the international break we are 7 games in and have 10 points.”What’s the big deal about that?” I bet some are saying.If we look at the fixtures our young lions have had to deal with I think this is a pretty good points return.
We have won at Arsenal massive result.We have beaten Man City at Villa Park which given the fact Man city are title contenders is another massive result.We only just lost to Chelsea away and had some rough refereeing decisions go against us.The Norwich win away was another good result to.
There has been a few draw backs with the first halves in the Liverpool and Newcastle games but the second halves where better.
We are now getting clean sheets which means Lambert is addressing the defensive problems.Vlaar and Clark look pretty good together and I think there could be a partnership growing there.
With Benteke out and probably not back for a couple of weeks yet, Kozaks movement looks good.He can lead the line well but just needs that bit of Premier League confidence and he will start finding the net.
I have to admit Andy Weimann looks out of sorts at the minute I don’t know what’s going on there maybe a sit on the bench would do him good.
Our midfield is getting better Delph has improved along with KEA both looking more comfortable.KEAs movement and goal well taken against Man city.
Leandro Bacuna has looked like he can grow into the Premier League and is now starting to show promise.His free kick was a beauty against Man City.
Gabby still isn’t 100% but still looked threatening against Hull.Many people me included thought we could get 3 points at Hull and on a better day I think we would have but still managed a clean sheet against an inform Hull who haven’t lost at home yet.
Tough game to come after the international break with Spurs at VP with some players on international duty but I’m hoping Benteke will be back maybe that’s a bit to much hope for now.
I still feel we are moving forward and if we keep our points tally at the same pace we will reach the magic 40 points by 28 games which gives us a lot of breathing room if we keep that up.
Lambert is doing a good job IMO and it wasn’t that long ago we looked in a very bad state.Lambert and Lerner have stabilised AVFC and AVFC is back looking like a proper club again.A good coach,less debt,players who want to play for a team and wise spending in the transfer market.Things are looking better and moving forward bring on the rest of the season I can’t wait……UTV
