A fist-pumping celebration may be nothing new in football but the Luke Chambers version is proving a big hit with fans and team-mates alike.
Chambers said: "It’s just something that I started earlier in the season, out of sheer relief really. I enjoy my football and I enjoy it when we win.
"I feel as if I’m in the same boat as everyone else — I certainly want to win as much as the fans do and it brings us all together.
"The other lads have got on to it as well now so it’s a bit of banter after the game. It’s a good thing for everyone and the more often we win the more often it comes out.”
The ex-Northampton and Nottingham Forest defender believes Town are a vastly improved team under Mick McCarthy, a view supported by the fact that the new boss has overseen 14 wins, eight draws and nine defeats from his 31 league games in charge so far.
That run has added 50 points to the paltry seven gathered prior to his arrival and Chambers said: "We know how to see games out now.
"I think that’s come from working together and from having a settled team. We haven’t replaced that many players over the period but we’re a lot more solid as a team.
"If it takes 1-0 to win a game, if it takes until the last five minutes, we’re the ones that are getting stronger, whereas maybe before we were tiring and conceding late goals. "I’ve been fortunate to play in good defensive teams and the lads at this club are very good players. We must be doing something right to be keeping as many clean sheets as we are.”What to read next:
