I wasn't there, but 22 shots with 14 of them on target doesn't sound that boring.
It wasn't at all boring .We bossed the game , created loads of chances and at times played some really good football .Some long stuff, plenty of passing, no little skill .......great saves by their keeper to keep them in it .........what more do people want ?

Yes, both he and Nolan made vital challanges in the right part of the pitch late on .With regards to Mark , the fact he was still going strong so late in the game is a credit to him and how hard he has worked on his fitness .He made a similar intervention awat at Derby on Saturday, late on .

I remember him at Villa a couple of seasons back where he played very well and worried the defence but his finishing wasn't the best and yesterday i felt that was still lacking. But i do think he will turn into a decent player.
Totally agree - could, and perhaps should have had a brace yesterday, and hopefully he will lead the line against the Owls next week .
As a general comment , for all the doom , we have seen Noble in outstanding form all season, Potts introduced, Hall given a debut, Nouble getting a couple of appearances, Tomkins playing well ............we're joint top .
It really isn't all bad .Quite a bit of what is going on is good .
