Regardless of how upset they are with the referee, surely Muller deserved a yellow card at the least for that push on the ref? It definitely wasn't friendly, or an accident either...

Great defence and ball protection from Davilla.

Reckon we need at least a two goal buffer before Hooper goes off. WSW have definitely got at least a goal in them today.

Not sure about Hooper's passing today..

Started ridiculously well but WSW right back in it now, we're struggling a little to get it through midfield. Devlin not presenting for passes a lot of the time

This  was a workman-like first half, without fireworks apart from Davila who is clearly from another league altogether. We are missing David Ball but it only became visible in the somewhat subdued effort in 20-40 minute period as the half evolved and WSW recovered initiative.  Talay likely to attend to it at halftime, so as not to let WSW back into the game.

I thought the first 15 mins or so was some of the best football we've played all year. After the goal we've definitely slowed things down, though.

If someone could confiscate his passport that’d be great.

You could just see De Vere was going to stuff up that simple pass. He does love a brain fade.

Lots of messy play so far

Need to control it more in midfield; put a foot on it, calm down. We look really bunched up in the final 3rd.

Hooper hasn't been good today either. Sotirio has been Sotirio

Gotta be careful here.

This is going to be an uncomfortable last 30 minutes. Looks weirdly like we are running out of puff.

With Hooper, others have to run more to cover.

Sotirio needs to be stronger, pisses me off how he goes down so easily every single time because he knows his touch is shark.

To be fair from that slow mo replay he was clattered.

Yeah, not that one - he's fallen over about 5 times under minimal contact today.

Problem for me is that we don't even look like we want to try breaking at speed. It's like the 2nd half experience of last week has made us too careful and that's getting us into trouble here.

Is Sutton normally a CM? Seems to lack some recovery pace

This hang on tactic isn't guna be sustainable in the long run

Don't think that's what Talay is telling them to do; just think we look buggered after pressing high for first 20 min

There are things I like about Payne's game but he is still very much in the makeshift RB category for me.
