Thank You.......

Can I be the first to nominate Arro for a special award on tonight's SPOTY........
If ever there needed to be recognition of blind, unswerving faith in a club then these last few months have proved that Arro deserves all plaudits!!!
I don't think I have ever seen such a harmony, spirit, team ethic at our club ( I accept that Nev may debate this with some valid examples) and while it's an amazing feeling at the club ( for everyone who works in the offices, hospitality, etc not just the players ) I am very much ofย 
the old school with Nev that I am waiting for us to " do a Leicester" and start losing the games that we all expect us to win.
I firmly believe that CR would address a bad result etc in a completely different way to NP last season and that it would be a blip NOT a reason to panic.
But anyway let's look at my reason for posting......
Last season we were all questioning the potential of a lot of our players to " cut the mustard" at this level.
We all know how Vardy, Mahrez, Kante, Albrighton, Drinkwater etc are grabbing column inches for their excellent performances this season but I really want to praise the defence......
Kasper - We know he isn't a world class keeper, he flaps sometimes but he is our best keeper in a long long time.ย 
Fuchs - For me he was the signing of the summer ( I can hear you all going nuts already) but he brings an amazing amount of experience, knowledge, tactical nous that will have rubbed off on the whole defensive unit.
Simpson - Difficult moral one, he plays for our club so I will support him. Do I wish he didn't? Yes, end of.
Huth - solid and the one signing we all clamoured for at the end of last season. Plays on the edge ( sometimes over it) but had formed a brilliant partnership with Wes.
Now we get to Big Wes
He looked like an elephant drowning in Tar last season at times, we all thought he was out of his depth etc.
but I have to say I think his reading of the game, his strength, his confidence have all gone through the roof this season and he is seen as a hard, tough, uncompromising defender by our opponents.
I would just like to say I was wrong, I thought starting with Wes this season was suicide..... NO it wasn't.
Wes, I thank you. You don't get the headlines of your teammates but my god you deserve them.

Totally agree re big Wes. If it wasn't for the obvious candidates, he would surely earn a shot at player of the season.

And don't forget, he's not even had a break from last season as he was playing for Jamaica all through the summer.

He's one of the most improved players I've seen in a very long time.
