Positives & Negatives vs Watford (a)

[1964white]

Positives............

Negatives.........

[weasel]

P: Cruise control win

N: How alarmingly our intensity dropped once the subs came on. Noticeable that Watford came into the game as they were able to play it around with ease as our first 3 subs did nowhere near the pressing that the players they replaced had done. In the 84th minute we attacked Joseph played the ball to Aaronsen who took it forward, not at great pace, but Joseph simply half-heartedly jogged behind him instead of sprinting past and getting into a position to receive the ball back later in the move.

Positive: Win to put the pressure on tomorrow
Negative: Let's hope we've saved some goals for Monday

[Prisoner37]

+ Don't think there can be any Dan James detractors left - MOTM and player of the season so far for me.

- We don't see enough of Ramazani (due to the effectiveness of Soloman and James). as he is so sharp in the few minutes he gets.

Think Joseph has caught the Bamford virus.

[Sean_Nile]

Positive: 2 or 3 good saves from Illan

Negative: Illan has not given the finger to the fans that were calling for his head... how many clean sheets has he kept now... Expect Scott Parker will be tapping him up to replace the Burnley goalie

[Finnatic]

P. An easy win and clean sheet.

N. Not much, maybe at 4-0 when the subs came on, I thought they’d be chomping at the bit but Ramazani aside, they weren’t.

[Tyzy]

Pos - Emphatic away win
Neg- Should have been 6

Indeed Weasel.

Also, Watford were stringing passes around for fun around the 55th minute, Cleverly made three subs & the Hornets went right off the boil. Then we did the same!

Ready-made for another crack in the Premier League.

Good point on the lack of post sub intensity. We had won the match at that point but you’d imagine the subs would want to start, and therefore play out of their skin.

For those in the uk.
+ The Sky+ commentary team were actually decent tonight (who were they?).

- we will have hinchcliffe back next week

Those subs need a kick up their backsides or else they won't be featuring in our Premier League campaign next season.

They didn’t do the business against Millwall in the cup, I don’t expect anything from them.

No idea. But the Scottish guy had verbal diareah in my opinion. Awful, didn't stop yacking but glad you enjoyed it CW

Wouldn't be surprised if the subs had instructions not to press forward.

Some had their chance v Millwall and blew it, didn’t see one thing that would give me confidence in them and DF knows it as well. Massive clear out of dead wood needed if we get promoted.

[Musicman1965]

Positive - One of the best away performances all season, clean sheet, 3 points

Negative - The subs that came on need to add to the game and keep the levels up, your manager is watching on how much effort you
put in, that's why you are subs and not starters.

[Johnsie123]

P. Positive vibe around the first 11 and the team as general ,James, Solomon, piiroe and aaronson looking really good in attack .Defence I thought was really good didn't want to concede rode there luck a bit but all looks well at mo.

N somebody else said replacements don't seem speed and skill level as starting 11 especially front 3 .

[60sUnited]

Pos: A great 'team' performance plus some individual class.
Neg: A bit nit pickey given the scoreline but we must create and miss more good chances than any other team in the League.... a bit frustrating.
