A bit more good luck in the 2nd half and we can win this.

Only nervous about Watkins on the bench as he's always scoring against us.
This. And despite his record against us - I can't help but quite like him as a player.
In the stadium it looked mad for Mitoma to dive. He was through.
Don't think he dived - I think the ball went slightly further to the left than he wanted, so he wasn't in full control, and it was just a battle between the two of them really. No foul for me, but no dive either.

Definite penalty imho, thought it was a dive in real time but replay changed my mind.
This is the problem.

Inexeprienced defender makes a legitimate half arsed tackle and a wisened winger knows exactly when to dive.

JH is lucky to be on the pitch. But also should be.

That's pretty annoying if so. Pedro and him are buggers for it. Diving when playing on is a better option.
Perhaps it's a confidence thing with Mitoma, on his good days he'd have stayed upright and slotted it.

All to play for though, especially given some of the other scores tonight!

Winger could easily have stepped over the challenge if he had been inclined to do so. But then this is Villa remember....

Biased Midlands Cameron commentator says JH contact is a penalty but JPVH gets caught, it's a coming together. Whatever happened to unbiased commentators?
Or is it me.
