Well done Almiron, lad will be buzzing from the match and the reception he received when coming off. Would have been nice to get some more goals, it will be a different affair against Burnley, but 3 points there would properly clear us from the scrap. Good that Wolves and Bournemouth split points.

More than a bit of a shame to take Almiron off.

And to think we very nearly missed out on him due to some classic Ashley penny pinching. That would have been fantastic for Longstaff to score there.

That was a brilliant save by their keeper who has kept the scoresheet from getting embarrassing.

Geez, unlucky not to score there. Almiron's link up play and general passing and teamwork is immense for someone so new to the team.

Ritchie absolutely cannot help himself.

Not really, well taken by Rondon after a very heavy touch from Hayden who was setting to shoot inside the box. Second one was good.

Lovely goal. Fill yer boots lads.

Hayden's touch so bad it was good. Time to really go for the jugular.

There was a patch where he wasn't lazy, but now I'd have him behind Longstaff, Ki and Diame in the pecking order. It feels like a matter of time before Hayden is dislodged by Ki or Diame, but happy for him to stay for the moment. Yes! There's the start we needed.

They'll be dying to get back out there after that many good chances without making it count. Rondon owes us a goal or two, the missed header from Longstaff's cross and not squaring it for Almiron earlier. One goal will break them, Almiron ro get it early. I don't like having Yedlin out there on a yellow given he's our cover defender when we take set pieces combined with his frequent clumsiness in challenges.

Far out... great ball Longstaff... Rondon wasteful there.

Their whole side is rattled, let's hope we make it count soon.

Gave the yellow because of their player's reaction, agreed very poor refereeing.

The problem with the iteration in rugby league is that the on-field referees overuse the video ref for simple decisions. Most of the time the decisions are right but the effect of the stoppage impacts on the fluidity of the game. If the same began to occur with football it would have a greater negative impact on the game because football has fewer lengthy stoppages so is inherently more fluent. I'm definitely in favour of it, but only used where absolutely necessary and put a limit on the time the review can last. I also wouldn't mind if incidents were reviewed when the game has resumed and retrospectively righted. It gets more tricky in that scenario depending what has transpired after the incident, but at least the free flow of the game is maintained.

I'd keep Ritchie in the team. Guaranteed to give 100% and to kick at least one opposing player.

Still up for question. That was a thoroughly dull second half, highlight after the break was fans getting selfies with Rafa.

Possibly pondering that same question.

11 subs for the second half, strapped in for some Joselu gold.

Lazy defending really, easy centre to an unmarked player after Darlow parried the save.

Commentator is putting me to sleep, but given he's on his own can't be too harsh. Nice early ball in from Yedlin for Rondon to score.

How tragic is it that I'm going to pay for this?

I really hope they do start doing the same in the prem and everywhere else. It's the only way they'll start to change the ingrained culture.

Link me pls

I thought the same even after the initial replays, may be down to the angle. In defense of the referee it would be hard to call from where he was, eyes tracking the ball coming in on a high trajectory, you'd see if go through Dubravka's hands and onto Boly. The camera from in the goal shows how far into his body Boly has come, look where Dubravka's feet are, in line with his hands then Boly's knees are pushing his body out. That's before considering his arm placement. Still, this discussion shouldn't be happening. There's no disputing the foul on Almiron in the lead up, that should have been the end of it.
