    Might be the camera angle then. On the iFollow it looked like he got a clean head to it before getting caught. Has to either be brave and hit the target or make it impossible for Burge to get there without going through him first and giving the ref a decision to make.

    Keep waiting for Marosi to slip and fall in these conditions with the amount of ball he's getting to his feet. Not sure I can cope with another 45 minutes!

    Bakayoko absolutely nailed Willis there trying to shoot, no free kick. Westbrooke wins the ball as cleanly as you'll ever see and gives a foul :D

    Westbrooke looks like he's absolutely brimming with confidence. His decision making, ability to find space and range of passing has been amazing today so far.

    That was fortunate! The cross hit Kelly smack in the back of the head!

    At what point are we allowed to start believing......

    I actually think he would be better suited to a technical director not manager. The framework he has put in place at the club, and his vision for the club in terms of developing the talent and bringing through players is exceptional. Some of his in game decisions are dubious still for me and...

    More Wasps BS?

    They aren’t a local rag anymore and I’d wager Wasps are their biggest sponsor by a country mile. Why do people act surprised when they aren’t dishing out top quality investigative journalism of their primary income?!

    At what point are we allowed to start believing......

    We haven't won away all season and only won a single game by 2 clear goals back in mid August. I feel we're fighting for 5th to 8th until we sort that out because I just can't believe we can keep on scraping enough wins when relying on the odd goal to win a game.

    Video BEST SOLO GOAL EVER! - LIAM WALSH!

    Huckerby's goal was amazing because of the timing, the level and the opposition but it's the shoulder drop that makes his goal, he takes out half the team with it. He only really beats 1 player though and he's already bearing down on the defence when he receives the ball. Walsh has got so much...

    Zain Westbrooke

    Think he's done well over the last month and he looks like he feels he belongs out there now, which I didn't think he did when he first broke into the team last year - thought he played within himself then and was scared to make a mistake. He played very well yesterday but I'd be annoyed if he...

    Linnell's flirting with Dave Bennett is cringeworthy

    Lovely ball over the top from Westbrooke. Fantastic chest control by Shipley to make the chance, bit of a mess after but it went in!

    1-2 seconds too long on the ball before every pass and not enough movement in and around the box. They will just fill up the midfield now and letting us have the ball out wide where we haven't had enough quality yet on our crosses or cutbacks

    And going down injured when they concede the foul to stop the quick free kick, momentum and reset their shape.

    Just lacking a bit of intensity. Needs to be a bit slicker in possession, the build up is too slow. Always feel we let these first halves at home drift a bit rather than really taking the game by the scruff of the neck. The longer this game goes on, the more set pieces they will buy and they...

    Absolutely tonnes of space out there today. We're dominating on the ball but they've looked neat on the counter attack. Shipley has been a bit loose with his first touch and had a couple of half chances he could have done better with.

    Not too bothered by that. Got to beat the big teams at some point if we're going to win it.
