Is their physical strength. For years we’ve had teams who have been out-muscled, bullied and over-powered. Not now. Rightly the focus has been on the great football we’re playing but we’ve got a team who can really look after themselves and each other. We must be a nightmare to play against at the moment. |  |

We are dominant all over the pitch. As you say, we have strong and brave players who shirk nothing and rightly deserve the plaudits. Some of the challenges and 1-2-1 battles tonight were robust to say the least.
One thing I haven't seen mentioned is how good we are at playing attackers offside. It's an important detail and not as glamorous as many of the things we do but the coaches and players have nailed it. |  |

I keep thinking back to the midfield between 2019-21.
Bishop
Nolan
Edwards
Judge
Skuse
Downes (the exception)
They had qualities but on the whole they were soft as anything. We never stood a chance in this league. |  |

We have a spine of proper hard bastards. No longer a soft touch. No longer a punchline. Fk em all. We’re on our way. |  |

Love the Owltalk description of Morsey
Dirty hard bastion
Buy yes we have spine Hirst muscling through the defenders and then with the finess to cut back and score just brilliant
Hope he stays for his sake because he will continue to improve at our club |  |

Spot on. I remember Millwall bringing on a sub who just steamed through our defence, and the Rotherham’s, Burnley’s, etc all combining good football with that powerful side to the team. Pace and power. Think SBR said that about his teams! Watch the Norwich defending for Swansea’s 3rd goal last week for a great example of lacklustre, no commitment defending! | | | |

For me, it's our fitness.
We are unrelenting and can put teams under sustained periods of pressure for long spells. It was evident last night. Barnsley had a good spell in the first half, where they pressed with intensity, won the ball back quickly and played at high tempo. It lasted for about 15 minutes.
After that, i felt they looked somewhat leggy, particularly in the second half. Ipswich on the other hand can sustain their intensity, tempo and press for much longer periods of time, which is why many have labelled us being 'relentless'. | | | |
