Only 2 forwards on the bench, that's gonna fuck up Steve's new masterplan. Or maybe he'll stick Jedi up front.

We're dominating and have been since the off. They're consistently finding good positions to cross but we keep over hitting that final delivery.

I'd be tempted to go 442 with Kodjia for Hourihane.

Thor has been excellent.

So Thor to be substituted then.

Special mention to Taylor for his goal threat
To be truthful that shot was from his weaker left foot....

adomah finishing and crossing has been awful

Lets hope its not another Boro

It's the hit and hope crosses into the box that really is frustrating. Albert is proving to be no threat what-so-ever. Elmo and Snodgrass working well down the right but still end up delivering pointless crosses into the box. It's not rocket science, Bruce.

Grealish is still too bloody deep, going back to defensive midfield to pick up the ball. I've been very impressed with Bjork.

Defence seem comfortable.

It's just a shame we're in April and the team still aren't functioning properly due to the stupid tactics of everything must go wide and crosses in the the midget. It's no wonder we're 4th and not preparing the Promotion Party.

Hogan on his own is not working and Hourihane is trying to make up numbers ineffectively. Jack playing in centre circle is not good. Need Grabbon on for Hourihane and a solution for conundrum that is Taylor. If it’s still not good after that bring on Kodjia at 65 minutes

Reading won the toss and made us attack the Holte first half?
