I’ve been saying exactly this over the last few months, the lads got better and better, similarly with O’Shea, prior to injury obviously. The Premier League stint proved a tough gig for both but having stepped down a division you can see how the higher standard brought them both on, probably more so with Townsend.

As for TGH, saw him away at Huddersfield as right wing back and he was absolutely faultless, technically gifted and puts a wicked cross over. Again, looked at home yesterday and needs to be shown faith.

When Val said he will always play his Captain I’m hoping for a ‘technicality’ where TGH will retain his shirt and another regular will be handed the arm band!
