Stat from Opta:

Before today no team in the top four tiers of English football has ever won nine fixtures in a single month since the formation of the Football League in 1888.

Nine games, nine wins, 24 goals scored, two conceded.

Astonishing.

Steve Bruce manager of the month then.

We won't see this reported on the Beeb. Not too shabby a month eh? 3 different competitions as well

Another record, who’d have believed it for a team in decline?

The difference in Pep now from a couple of months ago is very noticeable as well.

What difference do you see? More energy?

I think he’s now getting over the grief of losing his mum, when I lost mine it took me about 6 months to get back to normal.

That's something that people probably forget to take into account when he's not seemed himself and it's easy put it down to our form alone or that he doesn't seem interested any more.

Regardless of who you are or the salary you receive, your home life has a massive bearing on your work life. Happy at home, happy at work is a mantra that rings true for most people

But whatever the reasons for Pep looking more focused, I hope they are here to stay as these last few everyone in the squad has looked sharper, more focused and hungry to get our title back.

Pep is “buzzing “ now for sure . Pep and blades manager were having a right old banter several times before during and after yesterday’s game which was great to see and great for the game . It must be really difficult for pep after losing his mum and his wife now lives back in Barcelona it shows the mental strength and focus of the man . This is effectively a new team he has assembled and coached going great guns on all fronts this season after a very dodgy start , absolutely fantastic and some incredible young world class talent . Have the media given him any credit yet ? have they fuck !!! But this inspires him imho he knows too well how bias and populism is how the media works and how the UK works . It is no wonder the U.K. is truly fucked and the media a sack of shite .

What Notts said. More energy, but he also seems to have his love of football back. There’s a noticeable difference to how he is now to how he was. You see him now high fiving players being subbed off, he’s back to coaching players by talking to them as they’re coming off the pitch at full time.

And I think it definitely links with players like Gundo and Bern being back to their best.

Agree with this it’s like David is still here with those two buzzing about
