I thought the defensive solidity had a lot to do with Tomkins returning to central defence alongside Faye. The spell he has had in midfield should help his all round game but I hope that experiment can finish now.

Knowing we were going into that game four points behind Saints and only one ahead of Reading is the sort of pressure that they would have wilted under in the first half of the season.

That's the new mood. Sam's done good. 8/10 yesterday.
