Keeping the Momentum Going

It's been a very satisfying week with a great win over Wolves and a draw at Blackburn. 

A good performance against Wolves in front of the to cameras saw a very good display. Chris Martin bagging two very good goals and some very good performances from most players too!

Bradley Johnson with another commanding display in midfield again giving us that extra bit of bite. 

I was delighted to see Johnny Russell get on to the scoresheet. Russell has worked his socks off so far this season and the goal was nothing more than he deserves. 

A draw away at Blackburn wasn't a bad result. They're not an easy team to beat nowadays and the old cliche 'win at home and draw away' can be referred to when chasing promotion..

The one player that seems to have gone off the boil, in my opinion, in the last few games is Tom Ince. A match winner on his day, he has yet to enjoy the same success as his loan period. That said he still causes proble,s for opposition defences. 

If as expected Jeff He drink still isn't available for the visit to Huddersfield, Jacob Butterfield will likely be given the chance to shine in midfield. It's an ideal game for him to stake his claim for a regular place in the starting line up. 

I am yet to be convinced that he is worth the fee that we paid for him, but as they say it is early days. Terriers fans constantly tell me that he is a quality player. 

It was a surprise to a few people on Wednesday night that Stephen Warnock started ahead of Craig Forsyth. However, I suspect that Paul Clement is wanting to give Warnock some game time just I case he has to step in should Fozzy get injured. 

Finally the subject of penalty taker raised its head again on Sunday.  Chris Martin again saw an effort saved. He's missed a few chances over the last couple of seasons and I'm guessing he was allowed to take the spot kick last Sunday due to him being on a hat trick. 

We really must get the spot kick taker sorted out! Martin cannot carry on taking them! Perhaps it's time to give the job to Ince or Johnson!
