Key didn't look the best at the start of the season either but he had only just come back from injury.I certainly didn't.
Cabango in particular. At times under the previous managers he looked no better than L1 quality. But he appears to have gone up a notch this term.
Whatever you want to say about this side, there's no doubting the bedrock of it is the back 5. Iffy start from Tymon aside, it's been very consistent this season.
The past couple of games he has been looking back to his best gliding past players.
Vig has to be one of the Championship signings of the season, he has been vastly outperforming the expected goals conceded metric and is the primary reason we have yet to lose any game by more than a single goal.
He had a particularly dodgy second half in one preseason game but that aside he has looked awesome and while I only watched the first half yesterday he was claiming crosses and some of his distribution was superb.
Ronald has two assists in two games now, seems to be coming back into a bit of confidence and form and looked a menace on the left where I always felt was his best side as he likes to come inside onto his right.
Peart-Harris had his best game of the season for us yesterday, put a few dodgy performances behind him and he looked a threat on Saturday and today he came in off the opposite wing and got his reward.
Grimes was playing more as a holding midfielder and not as a 3rd centre half for most of the first half and the difference it makes to our shape is so obvious.
Franco was a beast as usual, for a small player he has insane strength to get other players off the ball. Desperately needs some shooting practice though
