Most things have already been said so I'll just chuck out a few points:

1) Why was Tshibola starting? He's been out for so long surely it would have been better to give him 20mins when we were cruising, now he's back on the treatment - clearly wasn't ready.
2) Walsall 'fans' really let themselves down. Was probably a few bandwaggoners for a day out but blimey they were embarrassing.
3) Someone said the first goal was a tap in? It was class show of strength and a rocket finish. A bit like holding down R2 on FIFA. I've been just as much of a critic of Robson-Kanu as the rest of you but he's been decent lately

It was probably Vydra's first that was being referred to as a tap in.

Ah yes. Well all strikers say they love scoring tap ins. I'm not going to knock our man for scoring a goal.

Was a bit surprised at one up top though. I could have gone wrong

It's better to start a player if you think they're carrying a knock than put them on as a sub because if they break down then it's a wasted substitution (a-la Vincent Kompany recently).

But given there wasn't an obvious swap on the bench (I don't consider Hector an obvious CM) I suspect they were fairly comfortable that Tshibola would last the game.
