So there we have it. A win at home in the Premier League. I have been adamant that our best performances have come at home and that the first home win would happen. But I have also said, it has been coming.

As correctly pointed out by Ian Wright on Match of the Day (before I go on, I want to remark on how surreal it was to be first on the running order), and as I have pointed out in previous articles, other than the first two games against Brighton and Chelsea where we conceded seven goals in total, all our other games have been incredibly tight affairs.

We should have won against Wolves, picked up something at Fulham and we experienced dropping two points at home to Liverpool.

Out of the 11 games, we have only been truly outclassed once and that was against an Aston Villa side I believe can disrupt the top six, possibly even the top four. Even in that game, it was only three conceded, which, this season, is the minimum amount of goals they have scored in each of their home games. We got off very lightly.

In total, discounting those first two games, we have conceded 16 goals in 11 matches. Compare that to the other sides promoted with us from the Championship and 'Little Luton' are going about their business with no frills, just sheer graft, determination and team spirit.
