Been impressed with Samatta so far, intelligent runs and his closing of their defenders has been excellent.

Yup. Now to give him some decent service into the box.
The lads aren't used to playing with a striker, to be fair.

Looks an upgrade on Wes. Actually knows what to do when he lays it off (Wesley just stands still) and offering a good outlet. Probably won't be tonight but will be interesting how good his finishing is when he gets some chances.

Usual lacklustre first few mins after half time.

Probably famous last words but I'm never that nervous when away teams are shooting towards the Holte second half. Would be interesting to see how many games the away team wins when they do that at VP.

Why would he. This is Mike Dean who once celebrated Spurs scoring against us, after all.

Nyland was my player of the first half, closely followed by Guilbert and Targett. Grealish also his usual excellent self.
