Connor tore Watford a new one on Saturday. They had no answer on their left hand side, especially in the first half. Sooner or later a Prem club is going to come knocking ... we better get promoted - its our only chance to keep him.

The reason Buendia and Roberts are so high up in this table is the number of games played in the Championship, but still...

Both Connor and Jake have flourished since we changed our formation to three at the back. Actually many players in our squad have. For example Ben Cabango, who often goes under the radar, but he is our most underrated player.

And who would have thought Jake would improve so much? From a shot and pass shy player he has been transformed to a wing-back who confidently cuts inside and attacks opposition goal. When he signed for us he was glued to the side-line and all his passes were parallel with it.

Three at the back have also allowed our midfielders to run forward with the ball more often, and Grimes, Smith and Fulton have been the best midfield combo so far. Especially in our last two games they have been excellent at confusing opposition with constantly changing roles and positions on the pitch. And with Gibbs-White back we'll be even stronger and more unpredictable.

Oh, and I almost forgot to mention our two attacking centre-backs Guehi and Cabango. Have you noticed how many times they run with the ball into opposition half? Hats off to Cooper. Not many managers allow their centre-backs to do that.

Now when our non-scoring striker is scoring goals we can finally say we have a much needed balance on the pitch with one exception: the jury is still out on Woodman. He is much more confident in the air now, but his positioning is still not good.

Agree, Ayew had better start producing. 🤣
