Now they get a penalty
Think the ref knew he'd made a mistake on the first one. Kite looked like he won the ball, but maybe caught the player too.

It was close to the line, and perhaps Walsall should have got a penalty earlier, but Kite didn't concede a foul

Think we’ve put a string of 5 passes together once since we scored. Really poor half.

What a dreadful half of football by City. Simply not in this game and not up for it either. If Walsall could finish they would be out of sight by now.

Big Nige needs to come on to control the midfield and go to a back 4.

But my God we are poor

Formation change required

We started really well, then there was a problem with the goal and after the restart we've lost our way. In open play Walsall look toothless, so we can definitely still get something here

Yep. Our passing has been abysmal. No composure at all. Not every pass has to be a defence splitting 'worldy'. Simple passes and play round them.

On first viewing I thought he got the ball but on the replay it looked a clear penalty; also noticeable that the City players barely protested.

Awful from us. Maybe a blessing that they scored as KMT will surely need to make changes.
Giving the ball away too easily and, despite the excellent looking pitch, seem to be slipping up at the back.

Once again we are second best first half. Think we'll win but only after we've changed the formation and got control of the midfield. Why do we always have to suffer like this? Lucky to be still in it.
