Not exactly prophetic, but if we're 1-0 up in the last 5 minutes, expect to see Scienza go down for a penalty and get it.

About the goal, a great header but a lovely ball dinked in by Eccles.

I'd like us to get to 60 minutes and make a change.

Possibly EMC to the right with Torp going off and Rudoni into CAM.

I think I’d do that and bring EMC central alongside Wright. Rudoni in the 10. Wingbacks to stay back or just put early balls in for the last 20 mins.

Yeh that was a pen also btw. Wright only goes down because THB fell on him.

Well we have been fouling him. But if that’s what we need to do to win then take it in turns lads!

Sorry when a player kicks their leg out at 45 degrees when running just so it hits the standing foot of a player that’s not a foul. Or, like Torps when no one at all touches him. He’s a great player but a very obvious diver.

Interesting seeing the angles of pen decision. Didn’t think it was at the time but could’ve been given

Great half for us. 2-3 quality chances. Scienza running through us is a worry. Has the feeling of a red card for stopping him. Next goal winner i think

Got to say I didn't think it was a pen at all so surprised to see sky pundits saying it is

Haji knocked it on wrong direction and lost his advantage imo

Brilliant half. They’ve had a couple of chances but we’ve dominated. That was a pen and a red card all day!!

That was a very good half, enjoyed that.

Definitely a foul on Wright. Not sure it's a penalty as contact starts outside the box. But definitely a foul and a red card.

THB fell, and in doing so, fell into Wright and sent him to the ground

He fell because the defender fell and took his leg.

They’re all biased. They should get half this form on for a balanced opinion.

How come?
He’s knocked Wright off balance and no where near the ball. It’s a pen and a red. He was the last man and prevented a goal scoring opportunity.

There’s no difference between that and what happened at Preston

MVE looked like he fouled him just before the Torp foul. Yes he will dive, but we’ve also been on him all game. Let it continue, just take it in turns.

Watch it again.

I can understand why the ref gave them the benefit, but Wright only goes down because the defender falls into him. That's a foul.

Great half and limited their attack, need to keep tabs on their number 13 as very dangerous.

Put it this way if it was given against us I wouldn't be happy. I still don't think there is enough in it to make it a penalty.

Perhaps its just from years of me playing football, but I never even reacted when it happened. His poor first touch took him into the remit of THB and there was very limited contact, Wright engaged THB too. Not a pen for me

It's a contact sport. It's never a foul for me, even after watching replays .

Just my opinion

Theres nothing to fear here though. Not that I think we will, but I wouldn't sit back. Theres the opportunity for 2/3 goals here.
