Nice cross Whelan! Classic! Looking better since we scored for sure! Playing it into Jones feet and he looks quite useful!

Most importantly, though, the commentators haven't mentioned size once! Then again, Crouch isn't on yet

It's not sweat in your seat hot but the ground is built in to the ground. The top of the stands is ground level so there's no cooling breeze down there. Etherington looks done. N'Zonzi looks huge. A bit like the brit then

Whelan our best player here for me. Really? Nzonzi looks head and shoulders above to me Nice to see midfield retaining so much possession though

I'm not going to get ahead of myself, but I think Palacios and N'Zonzi will have fantastic seasons and fire us into the top 8.

The only two players who don't look comfortable with this after the initial iffy moments are Walters and Cameron. Barring his goal Walters has been pretty dreadful and Cameron just hasn't got into it. Bego's kicking and passing isn't too sharp either tbf. Other than that though after that first spell it's been encouraging.

For anybody that hasn't watched the stream my view of the first half.
First few minutes we were shocking, couldn't keep the ball and kept giving it away in dangerous positions.
Since the goal we've played some really decent football(Too much for my liking with the current squad). It certainly is revolution rather than evolution.
Shawcross has looked OK passing the ball, Huth and Begovic not so much.
Pieters has got forward a lot and looks decent.
Etherington looks better than last season and Palacios looks fit and is playing well.

N'Zonzi looks an even better player with the shackles off, some superb forward runs. Palacios with a very encouraging 45 minutes.

They play the proper happy birthday theme tune . We get that bloody Stevie Wonder song every time at the start of half time! Nothing annoys me more than losing to a shit team at home, and that bloody song comes on!

I don't rate Cameron at full back at all but I don't think he's done badly he just hasn't been involved in the game because most of the play has come down the left.

I reckon 3-4 changes at HT- Crouch for KJ, Shotts/Wilko for Geoff, Adam for one of the Midfield 3 and mabye Kightly for matty

All the CMs have looked great. Whelan, Palacios and Nzonzi are all decent passers of the ball, they've just never had much of a chance to show it.

Other than that though after that first spell it's been encouraging. Agreed. Quietest game i've seen from both of them tonight Walters' touch and the little intricate passes they're trying to play have been noticeably poorer than the rest imo. When he should be taking one touch he's been taking two or three. Good finish though but could do better. And with Cameron most of the play has been down the left but I guess You've got a genuine full back linking up with a genuine winger down there so it will do. But overall it's been pretty enjoyable. I do think we need to twat it a bit more in dangerous areas mind!

We've looked worse in a friendlies, over the years. Looks like we'll be a counter-attacking team when we can and try to hang on to it in midfield when we can't. So, whilst it definately isn't TP Mark two (terrible half pun intended, sadly) it doesn't look like it's too massive a change that we'll need 20 new players. (and as long as SUPER Jon keeps scoring, I reckon he can continue to be sh1te and still get picked every week ) Thanks to those on the stream thread for the link ... I had no idea ... Little Joe sends his apologies for his absense

And I agree, I posted my reply above before I saw this, it's no surprise that the play is going down the left with what is there.

Bego has commanded the area quite well, and quick off his line when needed. Kicking needs improving tthough.
Cameron quiet, not much to do.
Huth $ Shawcross sound. Passes it well.
Pieters looks like he could potentially be very good. A few sloppy mistakes but a threat going forwards.
Whelan superb.
NZonzi with a few dodgy touches early on, and a pretty poor challenge but has started to look very good. Getting forward quite a bit.
Palacios has looked quite sloppy imo
Ethers, can't fault the effort but he can't be starting prem games for us. Could do a job off the bench if we can't replace him.
Walters has ran a lot, some good touches and took the goal well.
KJ ok. Needs to shoot when running at the goal. Not had much coming into the box.
