'Luka Modric is a wee-man.' - Slaven Bilic
I rarely open a piece with a quote but the Croatian coach's gushing eulogy of Modric was too good to omit. He went on to praise Moddle's cameo contribution to the morale-lifting win over Wigan and he had a point. But this was a win down to so much more than one man.

Good news and bad news. The good is that the boy Lennon is potentially a matter of days away from returning to the first team and saving our season from sliding into mid-table nothingness. The bad news is he won't be fit in time for Wigan tomorrow.
Back in November, Lennon, with a little assistance from a few other characters, tore apart Wigan in a wing display of sheer excellence.
