Definitely the most well-researched article I've read so far on Sven's turnaround of our fortunes, which made it a good read. I recently came across an article in "The Ripple" (magazine made by students at the University of Leicester) that said "Premiership regulars Kyle Naughton and Curtis Davies". Painful.
 
Researched?

Is there anything in it that most of us didn't already know?

I just mean it's well researched on their part. Some of the details they include I think are quite impressive, such as the thing about Andy King being the only outfield player that started on the first day of the season who also started against Barnsley.
 
His favourite anecdote about the electric fence is definitely apocryphal and he has every reason to question its veracity.
 
I saw that, and hadn't realised it before then. A pretty amazing fact.

Just out of interest, what was the team for the Palace match?

Found it. That stat isn't great to be honest - Wellens came off the bench, Gallagher was injured IIRC, Dyer started and so did the non outfield player Weale, as well as Hobbs. All of these have played, and continue to play (apart from maybe Hobbs) an important role in the side.

The article makes out the side is completely different, but King, Wellens, Gallagher, Dyer and Weale are still massively important players for the team.
