[Toronto Blade fan]

The sad thing is - Watford don't look very good. Our midfield is hurting us right now. No one calling for the ball or getting to the openings. Hopefully Khedra, Ozzy and Brew get a chance in the second.

So far....

• They are better than us.
• Our build up is too slow
• We are letting them play on the counter - which is odd
• Jebbo doesn't look like a starter
• Clark feels like a liability
• Ndiaye is excellent
• Game passing Berge by

Bite your hand off for 0-0 right now.

• looks like we have adjusted and are playing much deeper to stop the counter
• If we can get 20min our of Sharp, it feels like a game for him rather than Brewster.

What’s up with their pitch? It looks like it’s been ploughed ready to start growing some potato’s.

 

[HarryHaslam]

I don’t think we have been too bad, we are talking about the potential champions in Watford so we were always going to be outplayed for long periods but we will grow into the game. Not too worried just yet.

 

[biggiesablade]

If you look at the basics of it we've had 3 shots all on target

 

[ATL Recs]

Jebersson up front (main striker) never be a footballer! I know it’s only 25 minutes but Jebersson done nothing

Jebersson not playing

 

[SB_90]

as 1st 45 go. baring in mind we are away to potential champions with best attack in the division. im quite please with that, limited them to 1 dangerous chance & with suspension/ injuries we can only get stronger

How heavy was his piano!

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

Definitely giving them too much respect.

 

[Mario1889]

A good first half, more than matched Watford and created some good chances…. And there I was panicking because we lost a couple of friendlies!!!!

 

[JPSharpy93]

Ndiaye going to be a handful for teams this year. Nice end to the first half. Plenty of options from the bench COYB

 

[SUFCinks]

it wasnt pretty but it could have been much worse.

 

[Bladesman98]

Khadra on please

 

[robbiez666]

Ok. Watford look lively whenever Dennis is on the ball but they've not had too much. Our midfield is fairly anonymous. Jebbo and Ndiaye having a good half but the latter needs to stop looking for trouble. Need to get our foot on the ball. We're going straight to the front two which is working, to a degree, but need more support.

 

[Jan Age]

From a basics point if view didn’t do nothing wrong..

But we have to be much better when we ah e the ball and opportunity presents itself.

If we step it up a fear we could sneak something here.

 

[ATL Recs]

I don’t think we have been too bad, we are talking about the potential champions in Watford so we were always going to be outplayed for long periods but we will grow into the game. Not too worried just yet.

The only thing pleasing is Ndiaye otherwise we are lacking quality and not making the most of Sander
If they go in front that’s game over

 

[jono_t2000]

Half time thoughts: not as worried about Watford as i was before kick off.

Their defence is shaky and midfield isn't all that much.

Think Khadra would relish taking on this Watford back line.

Heavily reliant on Sarr and Dennis.

 

[BettingBlade]

Ndiaye getting better and better.
Just needs to learn to shoot.

If he could finish we might just be in the Premier League now.

 

[jt64]

Ndiaye looking good, Berge getting into space but no supply. Controversial Khadra for Clark and slot Furious to RCB

 

[BigBed]

If he could finish we might just be in the Premier League now.

Very true.

 

[Belvedere Blade]

1ST Half

 

[BigBed]

Ndiaye looking good, Berge getting into space but no supply. Controversial Khadra for Clark and slot Furious to RCB

Said that earlier, surprised that wasnt from the start?

 

[JPSharpy93]

They looks vulnerable at the back when we press hard. Need to do more of it

 

[bonobo]

I think sitting deeper, and trying to strike them more on the break might be the way to go. With that back three, none can bring the ball out, no outlet out wide. Although I spent the pre-game build up, praying they would have Berge in the front 3...maybe needs must and we drop him back for Norwood at some point and have Ndiaye, Jebbo and one of Brewster and Khadra, trying to hit them on the counter.

 

[bakeblade]

Are we panicking? Why are we panicking?

You'll see by

You can see that Watford are going to be tough to beat this season. We'll drilled with a lot of footballing quality thrown in with the nous to win free kicks . 0..0 might be a good result as the season grows.

I reckon this Watford side will totally different from Feb, no way are they keeping all these quality players

 

[BettingBlade]

Wish David Prutton would stop fucking pointing at me.

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

How heavy was his piano!

Hehe
