    I reckon Ekwah has been ripping it out of Dan Neil for his wayward shooting after scoring twice other day.

    Last 10 minutes was much more like it, finished the half very strong knocking it about with a bit of confidence

    Weathered the storm at the start and took our chances (and rode some massive slices of luck!!). There’s been little at either end since the 2th minute really. And if Ballard hadn’t been taken out, I think we’d be winning 2-0!

    Interesting half, very happy to go in in front.

    Didn't get going at all, yet sat here watching thinking we were always in it and had gears to go up.

    Need to keep it very tight first 10 minutes of the second half

    BT and nothing else in the house ever has problems connecting up, but I've switched everything else off just to make sure there were no issues there with wifi band competition.

    Missed our 2nd, just got to see the score on the screen and it has died on me again!

    Much better finish to the half looking dangerous on the break again, there two centre mids on a yellow could be key let’s ****ing run at them

    Special strike. Very very special player.

    Hard to underestimate the calmness on the first touch to set up the left foot strike. Sublime footballer.

    Shakey start but looked really good towards the end there.

    Stoppage time was the way I expect us to play. Very poor half by our own high standards and I'm sure Mowbray won't be letting the players get away with it despite the scoreline. I expect us to come out better in the second half and secure the win.

    I love him mate. I don’t know how anyone can’t get excited watching him, just looks like he so much talent. One thing I love is that no matter how many times he loses the ball he’s not scared to keep trying to take his man on just like Clarke on the other side.

    Great finish that and set it up calmly as you like.
