Somebody posted something along these lines after the Burnley game but "Togetherness" is what's been missing. Against Burnley the tactics were poor, the players not set up to execute them effectively, low on confidence and lacking belief from the off. Vs Brighton we delivered a backs to the wall mentality from kickoff and grew in confidence as the game went on. Every goal was celebrated with passion and as a team.
You can argue the influence of Cook and Boruc in the improvement of confidence but ultimately every player performed together and bought into the game plan. Credit where due to Eddie and Jase for achieving this for the first time in a long run of games.
The crowd were another massive part of the togetherness IMO, contributing to a fantastic atmosphere and getting behind the players more than I have seen in a long time.
It was a thoroughly cathartic performance for me and for me shows the potential of what we have if we can set up correctly with all cogs working together. Most of all it demonstrates that we already have the tools in the box to do the job correctly.
