    Link keeps freezing for me - still trying to work out who's playing. Did they line up in the first half as a 4-5-1 or 4-4-1-1 with:

    ....................Eliott
    ...Simmo - Tavernier - Colo - Raylor
    Obertan - Tiote - Vuckic - Gosling - Marv
    ......................Ba

    0 - 0 - seems fairly quiet game, not many chances. They've generally played better football from what I've seen.

    I must admit, Tavernier and Tiote = Beast.

    Tav looks like a very composed defender, good awareness and feet.

    Tiote looks sharp and god-like.

    Ba looks canny, Sammy looks canny, Gosling doesn't look half bad, Raylor's deliveries make us realise why we keep him, very dangerous.

    Latest update from NUFC.com

    In a first half of few chances, Haris Vuckic had the first clear opportunity but was unable to capitalise on a poor backpass from Miroslav Stoch in the 26th minute.

    However, he should have done better when put through on the left of the box but his low effort lacked power and was saved.

    Cheick Tiote put in a fine cross for Dan Gosling five minutes before the break but the midfielder's header just looped over the top corner.

    At the other end, Rob Elliot wasn't really troubled by three or four shots from distance and collected one dangerous cross from the left.

    Stoch went close with a drive the curled just wide a minute after the break and Alex also went close in the 53rd minute cutting in from the right.

    Substitute Sammy Ameobi - on for Vuckic - combined well with Demba Ba two minutes later but Ba's shot was blocked and the ball cleared.

    Ryan Taylor almost opened the scoring just before the hour with a free-kick given for a foul on Sammy Ameobi after some clever footwork. Taylor's shot from 25 yards grazed the upright with Gunok happy to watch it go wide.

    Typical, we go 1 up and I miss the goal. If it wasn't for these meddling kids...
