Nothing to suggest it's anything to do with new management here mate. It's simple, last 3 games we've played West Ham and Huddersfield at home and a crap team from Cyprus away. Even as bad as we had been under Koeman, these are hardly 'shock' results.

...the two league results were vital, Kev, and if you watched the game at Southampton there is absolutely no doubt in my mind that those wins would not have been secured without change. Allardyce might not have been in place for the West Ham game but I’m sure the improved performance was because of his appointment.

Be it Koeman or Unsworth we were looking downwards.

Yes, mgt changes have helped create the results, and there is a massive difference between Koeman and Unsworth's record.

One wasted £100m+ creating a muddled team balance be couldn't rectify. This was compounded by Walsh's role and the gap between new signings and the immediate needs of the 1st team. It was a busy start to the campaign and they weren't ready by a MILE. Koeman's attitude to the club was lack lustre too,which I loathed.

Unsworth brought a fresh look at that, and has livened up the fans, moved us up the table, and effectively freshened up the squad by playing Wayne sensibly, getting Lennon back to best form, giving Kenny a run and introducing Baningame.we got these results without Niasse, too who's energy we'll be glad to have back.

Big Sam wants to be here, and will sort out our defence, and I think be able to find a decent surprise striker for Sigs to find, who already has more targets in a confident DCL, Lennon, Rooney and Niasse.

This weekends game has rolled around a bit too soon, but things are definitely looking up.

We conceded 20 goals during his eight games in charge, getting hammered in all of our away games bar Palace - which we were massively on the back foot for.

I'm glad that Unsy stepped up, but had he stayed on we'd certainly be in serious trouble. The managerial situation should have been sorted way before it ever got to that.

On to the derby now.

If we can hold out for the first half an hour and frustrate them, we've definitely got a chance. But their pace worries me.
 
Also, decent display last night.

Chuffed that Lookman and Vlasic got their goals and both of them played well.

Klaassen and Schneiderlin played well, and Feeney was terrific.
