I watched Watford last night. At the risk of getting pelters I thought they looked far better than us. No plodding football just zipping the ball around at pace, getting forward in numbers and utilising their quick powerful players. They had Norwich on the ropes and the victory margin could easily have been 1 or 2 more. Not looking forward to playing them.

We'll see.

West Brom look the most likely runners-up to Leicester. Then it will be quite a scrap for the 4 play-off spots.

Yeah, how I hoped we'd evolve but it's not RM's style.

It does beg that question for sure.

Both will finish above us so doesn't change much.

Can't disagree. I reckon West Brom might go on to claim the second automatic spot assuming Leicester don't cock things up.

Fast start by West Brom. Think they'll be right in the mix come the end of the season.

Yes 🙂

Easier said than done. They look two tricky games and it would not surprise me if both end up as draws. We are still less than convincing despite an unbeaten spell. I think we are overdue a few top-drawer performances to get the fans off their seats but I won't hold my breath.

I hope RM picks up Sulemana on stropping off and going straight down the tunnel. It's ok to be annoyed at being taken off but have the decency to sit in the dug-out and offer your support. This attitude stinks and needs nipping in the bud. The only excuse would be an injury but as not mentioned I assume it's not the case.

Agree. We should have shown our intent by bringing on Stewart soon after half time and taking the game to them. Instead we meekly gave them the incentive to go on and claim a draw. Two points tossed carelessly away for me.

It is something RM should be capable of addressing if he has anything about him. The worry is that it is a recurring theme and nothing much seems to change.

We're still way off where we should be. Games like this evidence that.

We're never far away from one.

Most of it seems quite rational to me.

Shouldn't come down to hoping for the best. We should be putting sides like Huddersfield to the sword.

Poor tactics. I'm afraid this is at RM's door. We should be beating Huddersfield when leading.

Think the point is we should be doing it far more often.

Shouldn't be. We ought to have enough to manage the end of this game comfortably and probably should have gone for the jugular rather than find ourselves here.

Not a fan of the triple sub tbh.

Hope they don't level it up and RM then throws Stewart on. Be proactive not reactive.

Time to stop pussyfooting around and make the game safe.

Time for RM to make a clever tactical switch to take back control and finish them off. This is where managers earn their corn.

Let's hope so!
