1-0 up and we bring on a defender. Have we run out of wingers?

We battered them should have been easily 4-0 but made hard work of it in the end. Definitely need 2 new fresh midfielders in there

Wonder what our xg is today?
Not many chances that the keepr had to deal with.

Much improved.

Controlled the game.

Looked a more solid unit (because we Controlled the game).

Probably Dan James best overall performance for us.

Llorente was brilliant (just wish he wasn't made of Cadbury flakes)

Shacks and Firpo imo were excellent, Firpo especially did a great job on Sarr.

Even Tyro had 1 really decent effort.

Downside.

Our end product and decision making was awful and very nearly cost us as I don't think Watford's goal was a foul (evens out for our Pen though).

Rodrigo, just don't think it's going to happen here.

Much better overall though albeit against a pretty awful opponent.

But you can't be that awful in the final 3rd at this level, you will suffer for it more often than not.

Jesus H Christ we made hard work of that. Lots of good flowing football but the final cross or pass was poor time after time.
Roberts so unlucky with the volley off the bar.
But a win is a win, thank god for that.
