I'd agree with that as I think they're very similar players.

When all our central midfielders are fit and ready to play we'll have:

Colback, Watson and Yacob as more 'defensive' ones and Guedioura, Tachtsidis and, if needed, Osborn as more 'attacking' options. Personally I'd always go for a mix of one from each group.

• Two good matches out of the last three, confidense growing.
  
• Good full backs now in the team which should stop us leaking goals each game.
  
• Players beginning to settle.
  
• Recent signings a step up for our central midfield.
  
• Hugely influencial Hefele finding his feet.
  
• Fox now confirming he is one of the best centre backs in the league.
  
• Cash becoming a very, very good winger.
  
• Geddy is back.

No Bridcutt? 

What has he done wrong to Karanka? I have to ask, cos in one game against Newcastle he made more of a case to play than Watson and Colback who continually start, or are on bench.

And isn't it a shame we couldn't find a club for Yates, and they thought better he trained at NFFC (I say train cos he aint playing u23 games) rather than go to the wrong club

The team showed excellent commitment and intensity and we manged to press and stress Swansea as ONE team throughout the game. If we can manage to continue to play like that we will start winning games. I'm just as sure as Karanka on that.

So, if we can play in the same manner against Sheffield W then I will be convinced that we have turned a corner (not saying that it's the last corner though).

Yes, very much so.

Our results have been fairly good so far when put into context, with the only real disapointment for a promotion team dropping points against Brum. Win home, draw away all season gets you 92pts - the autos. So you can afford to drop a few too like at Brentford & WBA.

I also think that the new additions are way more suited to AK's setup then the ones added previously.

Finally, we seem to have at last nailed a settled defence, which is massive for AK. Cover at fullback is a bit dodgy, but I think we've a good CB pairing with more than adequate replacements waiting in the wings.

The future's bright, the future's red & white.
