Eowyn took most of the headlines this week but our very own Swedish hurricane was southbound. Alexander Isak showed his full range of abilities as he turned Southampton's defence upside down and inside out.

Jacob Murphy is the provider-in-chief and he will become a very important player if Miguel Almiron departs in January; the Paraguayan has proved to be a popular character, a tireless grafter and, for a brief, beautiful spell in 2022/23, a scorer of some incredible goals.

Shania Hayles is having a great season in front of goal right now. The Lasses (TM) beat Portsmouth, but it wasn't without nervous moments and George certainly needed a stiff drink. Their turn for a trip to Southampton next with their promotion hopes getting real, but no easier for it.

Next up for Eddie Howe's men, Fulham, and then the small matter of the Carabao Cup semi-final second leg at St James's Park. Who's confident about that two-nil lead over Arsenal?!
