Where has this defence of ours come from

Thats 3 games in a row without conceding. Personally I felt it should be 4 as against the jacks their goal should have got been allowed.
It sounded on CCW that the QPR were the attacking force and only came close once. One of their players shot hit the inside of the post from 25 yards. Against Reading the same thing. They threw everything at us as they needed the win and the closest and only real chance ended up coming back of the crossbar/post. I dont recall Marshall doing much though. Saying that he did make some excellent saves against the Jacks and Forest.
Over those 4 games the defence have been excellent. So where has it come from because its a different one from the rest of the season?

They have found WHAT works - they are conmfident with each other and the positions they play and hopefully Jonesy will realise this and not start changing it - Darcy has the pace to get back and cover keep him in over Hudson!

I think it is underestimated to the defenceive work that Peter Whittingham is doing, he seems to be getting stronger

DARCY makes the difference

Yet another case of Jonesy stumbling on his best side 
Let's be honest if everyone was fit he would never have picked Darcy in a million years, even for the substitutes bench if injuriers had not forced his hand

its as much to do with mcphail/ledley being back than darcy or gerrard
with rae/wildig/whitts in the middle we had no positional structure but now things are much more organised
definitely think blake and hudson should be our starting cb partnership now mind, having some pace in the back 4 is helping us out loads
