Mark Hughes finally seems to have got the team the way he wants it, and we're winning games. The match against Swansea was a reminder of how things were last season. Three goals, a clean sheet, Paddy Kenny back to his confident best, a solid back four, a midfield that created chances and scored goals, a team that played to and for each other, and a buoyant crowd. And I thought Barton was fantastic, both as a player and as a captain, urging his team on, giving them a hard time if they weren't performing, leading by example. The only negative (and mystifying, given Hughes' past experience) is that both Zamora and Bothroyd look utterly lost up front, not knowing where to be and what to do. But we will win this afternoon, of that I am convinced
