few thoughts from me:
Bogle and Firpo were terrible defensively. I don't think either of them know
how to defend.
Rothwell was missing in action in that 2nd half. I think he's ok but I think he
could be a weak link.
Piroe just isn't at the races at times. Slow / pedestrian and we he did get
chances he fluffed them.
I thought everyone else did ok, with Tanaka the MOTM for me.
Overall, I was pretty impressed with Watford. They pinned us back for ages in
the 2nd half without causing meslier too much concern but they were certainly
better than Sheff Utd.
Tom Ince got his usual abuse - how many clubs has he played for ?

Well another 3 pts to go joint top for a day.I managed to miss the first goal
by leaving the pub too late - first since the 6-1 brian deane QPR game, so
not too bad.Even better the lad in front turned round to laugh / remonstrate
with me for missing the goal and missed our second- i gave him some right gyp.
I saw the first on the screen inside ER a long range shot by Largie was almost
held rhen dropped by the keeper. Also " 2 0 and its your keepers fault " as he
parried a cross right to Aaronson ( who had a great game) to hit homeOnly 7
mins gone so we all expected a 5-0 rout.
Instead the steam went out of the game and it just drifted to half time with
Mes having his first shot to save since his howler 120 match minutes ago, as he
dived full length to tip a long range shot wide.
We all agreed we would up the tempo and get a 3rd which would allow DF to give
Crew and Schmidt some game time. Instead one of theirs waltzted past , the
otherwise excellent, Struik, and then after his shot was parried he scored
from a tight angle Im not sure if they thought that was an equaliser as they
began wasting time, dropping like flies and lying on the floor leading to 8
minutes added on time.We stuttered for 20mins then got a grip with Bogle
hitting the woodwork and Piroe missing the rebound. Joseph missed a free header
and a more difficult one both set up by Dan James who was a real threat when he
came on, unlike Solomon , who, despite a couple of attempts , did not look the
'class above / cheat code' that people seem to think he is.Rothwell ran out of
steam second half after a good first 45 but Tanaka continued to impress.
So although it was a bit of a let down in the end it was still 3 more deserved
points and we are looking good. One downside another yellow for Firpo ( and
another assist) which fans near me said means a ban
