Pope 8 claimed everything, and a couple of decent saves
Taylor 8
Mee 8
Tarkowski 9* goal, assist and Rick solid other than the hiccup
Bardsley 8 does the business
McNeil 6 anonymous
Westwood 6 poor first half, better 2nd
Cork 6 as above, gave ball away but let off
Hendrick 6 anonymous
Wood 7 great finish
Barnes 6

Well 3 set plays, 3 goals.
A poor a first half you're likely to see, thank goodness Watford were very poor in the final 3rd.

Think we would have also had a pen should Wood have not scored.

3-0 wins don't come round too often for us, especially away, so a great result we should enjoy, but we cannot play like that first half again and expect not to conceed.

Pope.8. Good saves and great control of his area
Bardsley. 7. Really gritty performance
Tarks . 8. Outstanding and took one for the team after Cork's error
Mee. 9. Imperious. Mom
Taylor. 8. See Bardsley but more polished
McNeil.6. Some nice touches but too little end product
Cork. 6. Too sloppy in possession
Westwood. 6. Very poor first half
Hendrick. 6. See Westwood
Wood. 6. Nice goal
Barnes. 6. Fought hard but lacked service
Rodriguez. 6. Decent cameo

Usually a 3.0 away win would yield higher ratings but for over half the team that first half was awful

Difficult in some ways to rate because of the poor first half but then we had a clean sheet and a 3-0 win.

Pope 8* class
Taylor 8 getting forward very well
Mee 8 calm and assured
Tarkowski 7 almost cost us in the first half and allowed himself to get wound up by the opposition. Good goal redeemed him
Bardsley 7
McNeil 8
Westwood 8 at the heart of everything
Cork 7
Hendrick 6
Wood 7
Barnes 6 distracted by winding up their defenders

Terrible first half but was delighted with how we controlled the game after taking the lead. The drive back is so much better with 3 points though!

Pope 8 - good hands great cross work
Taylor 7 keen and some quality
Mee 7 great commitment
Tarkowski 8 good goal left foot , great tackles 1 slip
Bardsley 7 bit wayward but battled their winger
McNeil 6 quiet took a knock though
Westwood 6 struggled but no lack of passion
Cork 6 sloppy passes but grafted
Hendrick 6 decent effort but often invisible
Wood 7 scraps but took goal well
Barnes 6 inc 1 for goal - scraps to feed off

Jay 6 nice effort on bar

Horrible 1st half utterly bereft of ideas but defended well.2nd half bit better took our 3 set pieces well . We beat the bottom club , functional but no cigar

Pope.9 immaculate
Bardsley. 8 clever
Tarks 8 cracker
Mee. 9 outstanding
Taylor. 8 energised
McNeil.7 sure footed
Cork. 6 huge endeavour
Westwood.7 tenacious
Hendrick.6 in there
Wood. 7 Goal!
Barnes.7 Goal!

Scrappy away win. Was always going to be against a team that doesn't play out from the back.
Nobody brilliant but every one better than average.

Bojo should be available.

A tough one to mark because it was turgid stuff 1st half. The flip side being a very good 2nd half performance

5s and even a 4 for Hendrick after a 3-0 away win!!!!????? Is that allowed? I suppose it depends who gives them.

We weren't at our best but they really didn't create too many problems. Our midfield as a collective didn't spark much.

Deulofeu is quick and had 2 good efforts, the first I think he got it wrong because his own player put him off a bit. He is though quite greedy which was much to our advantage. Pope was more than a match when they were on target throughout.

Goals outweigh possession and we score goals! Particularly impressed with Tarky's, great footwork!

A great 3 points in the bag UTC

took my 4 year old on to his first away game. well the first half was depressing. awful from us. we didn't have a clue. Watford looked like the team who would win and score. second half was the same until we scored. then they lost so much confidence and they played like a team who knew they were not going to win. the referee was a disgrace, he gave so many infuriating decisions that went to the home side. he really should not be a premier league referee. dyche was going mad on the side-lines at some of his decisions. overall I thought Pope was brilliant. even in the warm up he saved everything that came at him. both Hart and Peacock Farrell were forever clapping his saves. we have a gem. Mee and Tarks were sublime. Woods and Barnes bullied them when their big centre half went off. Finally the fans. must have been a good 2000 there and it was a decent atmosphere and everyone enjoyed the second half performance. MOM Pope without a doubt.

Well if you think just running around merits more than 6 then crack on

Pope..9. Best all-round English keeper.
Bards.8. Gets this last ditch defending lark.
Mee.. 8
Tark. 8
Taylor 7. I know we are defending narrowly...but a few times we gave them way too much
out wide and we really should have been punished.Twice.
Hend 6 Part of a midfield that was completely outplayed.
West. 6. Lucky not to be sent off with an absolute woman in charge. Hotheaded.
Cork. 5. Miles off it.
McNe. 8. His critics fail to see just how many of the opposition he occupied at times.Often 2
on him, occasionally 3.
Barn. 6. Not great...too focussed on getting something from the ref rather than winning the
ball won nowt in the air and held nothing up.
Wood. 7. Same as Barnes mainly.

Not a dig at you, mate. I didn`t even see the game, barring highlights.
