While the results have been excellent since the New Year, I haven't seen us put together two good halves of football yet this season. I suppose when you can blow teams away in one half, as we have done to Brentford, MK Dons, Bristol City, Charlton and, to a lesser extent, Derby then it's not really necessary to perform in both.
It looks like Dyche has finally found his best team after the big defeat at Hull when he brought Ward and Lowton in at fullback and moved Mee to the middle. Barton has been brilliant in the middle with Jones and Arfield is in the kind of form that helped us get promoted a couple of years ago.
Gray is a pest for opposition defences and you could see last night that Keogh and Shackell were frightened of him. He hasn't been as effective away from home though. Vokes seems to be getting back to his best.
Wednesday have quietly sneaked into 6th position on the back of their good form, so it'll be another big test for us. I rate Forestieri, so hopefully he'll be ruled out. Nuhiu just looked like a big lump in the home game, but it seems he's been quite effective for you? The likes of Hooper will always score goals in this division.
One impressive stat I heard last night is that whenever we've gone in front in a game this season, we've never failed to win, so you'd better hope we don't score first
