There's been a notable step up in our attacking threat and willingness/ability to put the opposition on the back foot so far IMO. I've enjoyed the last few games far more than most in the past few seasons, and we look a lot more likely to score goals than we have done under Revs before.

The new players are certainly a key part of that (as is the departure of Reid which has clearly given the midfielders the confidence that the ball won't come immediately back when it goes forward), but so are Revs' tweaks to our tactics - he deserves a huge amount of praise for last night in particular and for outthinking Wilshere and Powell. You know it's stung them by their reaction in the press.

Been really impressed by the new players' ability to hit the ground running, especially Sanderson and Magennis, but also by the improvement in Roberts so far. It's still early, and maybe he needed Reid to go too, but I can't remember him playing well in back-to-back matches since we were in L2. Have to hope he's not injured now that he has hit a good patch.

It's unfair to pick anyone out from last night though, as everyone was good and nobody was less than a 7/10. Crap refereeing aside, we deserved to win. Up the Boro
