We're looking good so far, I worry it's the same old problem of making chances but not actually doing anything with them. We've already made a mistake that could have given them a goal. On the evidence so far though, surely we've got to win this one?

Bangell - If Camus wrote The Myth of Sisyphus today, it would be about Jason Puncheon eternally trying and failing to pass with his right foot.

Hennessey's distribution has been good today

Hennessey can’t kick it long with no Benteke up there so is passing out to Sakho and Tomkins. Unfortunately it then stalls there as no movement or incisive passes from the midfield. It’s almost as if it needs a midfielder who can pick a pass. If only we had one of those who wasn’t permanently assigned to the bench by Roy...

Much better performance today, got to cut out the give-aways at the back though or we could waste this

Yedlin booked for taking Wilf out.
