The penalty is a strange one because there was a very similar incident when Wolves played Man Utd. The Utd keeper cleaned out a Wolves striker just like yesterday and VAR looked at it but decided no penalty. I'm baffled because I thought both were blatant penalties but perhaps we are misinterpreting the rules. I did notice that Sky asked our old mate Mike Dean and he said it was a blatant penalty.

As to decisions going our way I would argue that the ref missed a blatant scissor kick on KWP. We didn't get what was a clear free kick, Brum brought on their sub and they scored immediately. Ref gives us the free kick and Brum don't score because the pattern of the game is changed.

Bit harsh on AA. He worked his socks off, scored one, assisted one and could have had a couple more.

Me too especially in the first half.

Think this thread deserves a bump. Very impressed with Bree today, thought he hardly put a foot wrong and if he keeps this up it'll be hard to leave him out of the team. Well done to the lad who has had to wait his chance but is now showing what he can do.

Thought Smallbone played well - intelligent movement and always available. Mixed up his passing. We all see different things which is what makes it such a good game to watch.

Good 3 points and a lot to like about that especially in first half.

Good performance by Bree. Deserves to retain his place.

Not finished yet 🙂

Kaboomb! Good finish AA. Should put it to bed.

Shine taken off the first half. We have to do it for 90 minutes.

We look like we're happy trying to run the clock down.

Need to get further forward and back on the front foot or this only ends one way.

We've slowed everything down and are giving the ball away cheaply.

Looks like we've dropped off 10 yards.

Yeah, needs to change it.

The shambolic football has returned.

Need to stay calm and keep doing what we're doing.

Mistake by KWP!

How is that scissor tackle not a foul!

Bit unfair on Smallbone who has knitted everything together today and has a great understanding with KWP.

Yeah, it was reckless from Baz - he didn't need to rush out like that. Was a pen for sure.

Much better than decent for me. Play like that and we'll hammer some teams especially if Stewart gets fit and firing. Very easy on the eye today.

At last some sparkling football created by pass and move, play between the lines, players coming short - that half proves we can do it. We were so much more front footed, getting on the half turn. There were a few longer balls and quicker balls fizzed to feet. Pleasure to watch. More of the same please.

Should be 3. Great play again.
