I love it when a goalkeeper comes out and smashes the ball into the crowd. I have no idea why, but Richard O'Donnell does just that when Kieran Agard looked to latch onto a ball through.

"After going 1-0 up, Bristol City controlled the game for long stages, so there's not much to change apart from a bit more tempo in the final third.

"Walsall are neat and tidy on the ball and every time they have got in the final third they have tried one-twos so you can see they've got quality, but they need to get more people into the box and do it with more tempo."

An early chance for Bristol City comes from the free-kick, giving them a chance to send forward the big men from the back. One of those, Aden Flint causes all sorts of problems at the back post but can't find a team-mate with his header.

Walsall must be hating the sight of the tattooed Flint at the moment.

Romaine Sawyers and Tom Bradshaw of Walsall get us back underway for the the second half. Can they get back into the game or will Bristol City turn the proverbial screw and get a couple more?

The players are coming back out after their half-time oranges. Actually, do they even still have those?!

So, it's Bristol City with the lead and the half-time stats suggest it's certainly deserved.

I've always wanted to be a fly on the wall in a dressing room. Can we bring back cameras in there like the good old days?

I reckon Steve Cotterill will be telling Bristol City to maintain how things are, but Dean Smith will be working out a way to deal with the running of Kieran Agard, Mark Little and Luke Freeman. That's quite a pickle.

BBC West Midlands social media editor John Bray at Wembley: "Walsall clearly not out of this, but Bristol City showing why they are 10 points clear in League One.

"Big 15 minutes for Dean Smith - Walsall are loving their grand day out, but the reality is that Wembley is not a place for losers."

BBC Sport's Caroline Chapman at Wembley: "It goes without saying that Steve Cotterill will be the happier of the two managers at half-time, with Bristol City going in a goal up, but Walsall look like they have a trick or two up their sleeve still to play. And the Saddlers fans don't look too disheartened as they head for their half-time snack."

So what do you make of that first half then guys and girls? How do you deal with a man built like goalscorer Aden Flint? If you know the answer to that question, League One managers would like to know!

Get involved using #bbcJPT and tell us what you think.

That's half time at Wembley and Aden Flint's header is what separates the two sides here. It's been a battling first half from both teams, who are certainly not giving each other an inch.

"Dean Smith will know what the players will need at half-time. He will calm them back down and they need to get their passing game going. They've not really done that in the first half."

Aaron Wilbraham tries his luck after winning an areil duel and spots Richard O'Donnell off his line, but he miscues his shot and it goes wide.

The fourth official has just indicated a minimum of one minute of added time.

Andy Taylor comes ever so close to bringing Walsall level. The left-back picks up the scraps of Ben Purkiss' ball into the area, and his powerfully volleyed effort is just over Frankie Fielding's net. I think that had the goalkeeper a bit worried.

Romaine Sawyers is the first man to go in Mick Russell's book this afternoon when he sticks out a lazy leg to bring down full-back Mark Little, who has looked dangerous down the right for Bristol City. Sawyers is nowhere near the ball and it's probably deserved.

Walsall are sitting very deep here, and allow Marlon Pack, creator of Aden Flint's opener, to have a shot at goal from distance which is held easily by Richard O'Donnell in the Saddlers goal.

Walsall have a free-kick on the left-hand side, and Anthony Forde's ball into the box is cleared out to Sam Mantom, but his strike is totally wayward and doesn't come anywhere near hitting the target.

The Saddlers are definitely not out of this game though, that's for sure.

From the neutral's point of view, this is a lovely game of football to watch, with both sides getting the ball down and looking to play it around. Too frequently, though, the play gets to the edge of either area and not much further.

BBC Sport's Caroline Chapman at Wembley: "Half an hour in and now both managers have ventured out to the edge of the technical area to bark instructions at their respective teams. Steve Cotterill comes and goes from his seat while his Walsall counterpart Dean Smith and assistant Richard O'Kelly stand firm, presumably trying to concoct a recovery plan."

The last time a team came from behind to win the Football League Trophy final came in 2009, when Luton beat Scunthorpe 3-2 after extra time. The stats don't look good for Walsall, as Aaron Wilbraham can't direct a difficult header on target.

That could have been one of the most bizarre own goals ever. Mark Little and Aden Flint get into a tangle off Anthony Forde's corner, but the ball loops over Frankie Fielding and gratefully for him onto the roof of his net.

Ben Purkiss then shows the world why he is probably an optimist, taking a shot from quite some distance which goes over the bar.
