What a great opportunity. All the games are tough and we will have to play well to win any of them, but equally they are not exactly Cov or Boro, are they.

I thought Azaz did more running in the first half than I've seen him do all season. He was constantly moving to make himself available. So busy. From previous games I thought he was possibly a bit lazy, but I was impressed.

But once you start winning it can become a habit. If you have decent players, a decent plan and the all important confidence, then you can become unstoppable. One defeat and it could all go to shit mind, but maybe it never happens. Maybe.

yep. Talking of which, they might want to replace those white shorts. They looked they'd gone in the same wash as the shirts.

The coming inside things looks like it's taking us nowhere, and it probably is, but it does help us keep possession and remove pressure on our defence. It also breaks up the predictable pattern of play of across the back four and down the sides and the back again. It opens things up and drags players out of position. That said, when he's in the final third, I'd like him to go outside a few more times (Leo too) to keep the fullback honest. They are both stronger on their 'other' foot, lack blistering pace and aren't strong, which is why they come inside a lot.

he was mentioned a lot on the summer hcdajfu thread. Really good player. Great first touch and strength. Bree did a good job to limit his clear cut chances

i know we were ponderous going forward, Leo playing poorly didn't help, but I didn't think we were too bad. I think you have to give Watford a lot of credit for they way they set up, the way they congested space and stuck to their task and their opponent, the quality they have on the ball and the threat they offered. We were a little fortunate at times, but we covered our own mistakes well - especially downes in the first half. In the second half we struggled to create, but we limited them. We have some good players, but not players miles better than our opponents, so there are going to be times when have to dig in and get a 1-0 win. I feel good about us right now. Tonda has got his full backs and strikers to play the formation he wants and we look a much better side.

Win ugly. Good signs. Play offs. Keep saying it.

That is a yellow

Wood coming on

Badly. Free header.

You can thank me later.

Larin Get in

Yes get in

Chance....ah. almost

We've got nothing going forward at all.

Edozie and Larin coming on

That's close

We've done ok, but Watford had our number in the first half. We must improve or their two wingers will eventually make us pay.

Is it Tondas fault every time we dont win? Some of the players haven't done their jobs.

An early cross now and then wouldn't hurt.

We don't look good enough against the better sides. Leo's form doesn't look good and he's a big part of our game. Azaz looks bright and busy.

Watford have been very solid, making it hard going for us. Not a lot of space to work with in the final third. A couple of half chances. Crossing has been poor. Same for them. They have broken but not done enough with it, thankfully. Losing Downes was a blow.

Decent footballer although he's been wasteful so far.

His man is the right winger.
