Well we pressed them and they kicked the ball into touch.

Strung 4 passes together and scored.  Need to stop showing them too much respect.

[Smithy]

Really excellent build up play then.

Yep, we kept it in the final third, were patient, a couple of nice one-touch passes, some great movement and a great cross.  If Wes had nodded into the top corner it'd be goal of the month contender...

Finally a yellow

We done a goal!!!

We’re still very much in this...yet 10 minutes ago I would have said we’d be lucky to be only 1-0 down at half time.

Been a better few minutes.  Hourihane for Douglas needs to happen at half-time. 

[TheMalandro]

Goal or not?

Goal

Great. I was using H&V as teletext.

Flash scores app knocked the goal off.

The passes from Grealish and Mcginn before the cross were superb, moved the ball really quickly and opened them up.

I think the bit of niggle has helped us, woke us up somewhat.

SJM’s hackles are up

God Wesley is so painful to watch. A two yard pass he messes up

[AsTallAsLions]

We did not deserve that goal even a little bit, but fuck it, good to get some luck for a change.

[Risso]

That'll do, not a great half, but level, so hopefully we do more second half.
