    HT 0-0
    Neither side impressing, but we've had the better opportunities.
    Need a bit more spark in midfield I feel.

    Quite evenly matched, we may even have the edge. We seem to be playing with a bit more confidence but the sideways passing is still present and why don't they put the ball in the box more often.

    Doesn't seem to be much between the two sides. 0-0 at HT.

    If only we had a young Colombian with a bit of zip in him that could score a goal.

    Straight to their keeper though. What was it GT used to say, a good striker will always head the ball back across to the other side of the goal?

    That’s been driving me bloody mad recently! This obsession with possession often seems to be at the expense of making goal-scoring opportunities, or just putting the opposition under pressure - this is the Championship, people make mistakes, so put them under pressure. But no, pass it backwards…
    On Saturday, I saw something I don’t think I’ve ever seen before. A free-kick just inside the opponent’s half, all players in front of the ball, no players in our half apart from Bachmann, Porteous taking was furthest back outfield player of ours. Result? He passed it back deep into our half to Bachmann. That was beyond belief.

    We might not get a better chance to win an away game.

    I'd be Barry Frying tea cups at half time. In a mildly encouraging way mind.

    Martins very quiet and well marked. Think they decoded he was the danger man.

    He made a big difference at the weekend when he came on. Fingers crossed. I think they’ve just edged it so far.

    Was wondering when the Taffs would mention our managerial changes. At least they waited until the second half.

    Livermore heads over the bar - did well to get the header in given the numbers defending
