Some beautiful crosses but he's yet to get back to his level, which is not a bad thing as a) we're learnt not to be so reliant on him and b) there's more to come which it surely will. It's all looking rather bright at the moment eh?

Poll: Kitchen threads or polls?

Been a long-time frustrated fan of Chair but, end product-wise, I think he's on his best run of form I can recall in a very long time,

Obviously not match-fit & collapsed in exhaustion on full-time whistle but it seems his lack of match fitness has improved his decision making and made him less prone to hang on to the ball and beat his man, once, twice and three times,

Seems to recall a similar worldie cross very late in a home game (maybe against West Brom or Swansea, possibly to Austin) where he could'nt run another yard, so stopped, got his head up and played in a cross similar to those in recent games,

Couple of superb assists in recent games and cross to Dunne was deserving of another last night,

Also took his man on the outside last night a couple of times and went for the early left-footed cross, so being much less predictable to defend against,

Similar to the improvement in Smyth with his cut-back crosses, really think Cifuentes is beginning to unlock Chairs real potential.


I also thought he wasn't trying to do it all himself. Not sure if it is a fitness thing, more confidence in the players around him or maybe the penny has dropped. So much more effective when he isn't trying to do it all himself. At his best when the opposition don't know what he is going to do. Long may it continue
