    If we try and sit on a one goal lead like that, we’ll lose. Mara not done much wrong either.

    I'm torn on whether I'd bring Manning on for Jack or just switch Jack and KWP over. I don't like moving KWP to the left but he's definitely best equipped to deal with Wallace.

    What would have happened if it hadn’t hit his arm? It would have hit his body?

    I’d definitely switch them. Wallace looks to cross deep as well and Stephens is decent in the air to cover the back stick from those crosses. Wallace would do the same to Manning as he has been doing to Stephens I think

    Are those last weeks laws or this weeks laws?

    Good having Stephens height in the box for set-pieces. For all his bad positioning on the left (which Manning is equally guilty of), Stephens has made some important blocks/clearances.

    Clearly you need to be an Irish dancer to avoid being accused of having your arms in an unnatural position.
    That Furlong can throw the ball a long way but I’m not sure they are legal as his back foot doesn’t appear to remain on the ground - he steps through onto the pitch.

    Really, I am enjoying him on the left.

    Back three takes extensive training and the right personnel - as we found to our cost last season

    Yeah, I probably agree. The downside is losing KWP's threat down he right which is what I'm torn over.

    Also, don't be afraid to hit it from range once in a while lads.

    Bring Brooks on. He can be the threat.

    You mean the new handball nonsense that all the managers and pundits say they don’t understand?

    Because I don’t understand them either and it wasn’t deliberate or intentional and his arm was exactly where I would expect it to be given his movement

    Hopefully RM has worked his HT magic and we can regain control of the midfield.

    Deliberate or intent doesn't matter.

    What exactly does matter?

    Lets not criticise a ref for making a sensible decision which I’d expect at either end

    Brooks for AA with Mara moving centrally wouldn't be a bad choice. Absolute terror on the counter if West Brom persists with this "having possession" nonsense they're trying.

    Charles has let 2 players run off him this half. He needs to track them better
