Things can only get better

Wroy gas definitely tightened them up from games I've seen them play in recent months.
We're not using the ball very positively when we've got it though.

Let's have 'em second half.

Not great football fromm either side really

What a shocking last 30 minutes. McNeil has been totally absent and needs to get involved. Stephens touch for a midfielder is woeful, and you can tell Cornet and Weghorst have not played together before. Needs a shake-up by SD at half time. Hate to say it put Cork and Rodriguez will probably need to come on soon

Bacon butty?

Midfield as usual not working . No holding up or getting the ball to the forwards .

Shock horror we made a decent energetic start then forgot about all that after 15 minutes. Unheard of.

******* awful again

Weird VAR check at the end. Roberts clear handball but they haven't let fans know their decision. May have got away with one there..

We faded terribly. Not using our players to our strengths and we look rusty.

Poor first half.

Need McNeil to stay out wide and take his fullback on

NickBFC · Post by **NickBFC** » Sat Feb 05, 2022 6:55 pm

Atmosphere has been disappointing too.

FCBurnley · Post by **FCBurnley** » Sat Feb 05, 2022 6:55 pm

We are looking like a team who have not played together before. Which is exactly what we are. Only Cornet looks likely to create anything for us. Our 2 wide men have been poor. WW had no service and looks off the pace. Cork on for Stephens and I would bring on Lowton for Lennon and play Roberts ahead of Lowton. We are not putting them under any pressure. If we don’t improve we will lose. Could easy have been a pen at the end Arm in unnatural position making himself bigger ?

Culmclaret · Post by **Culmclaret** » Sat Feb 05, 2022 6:55 pm

We are bottom for a reason.

ewanrob · Post by **ewanrob** » Sat Feb 05, 2022 6:56 pm

Absolutley awful, offering zero look disinterested, Tarks quite rightly moaning about the protection from midfield. . ...and it's bloody freezing

Atmosphere is improved when the team are playing well. We’re certainly not doing that. Hoping for a much better 2nd half.

warksclaret · Post by **warksclaret** » Sat Feb 05, 2022 6:59 pm

A good team talk and shake up is now needed, and several need to step up. Otherwise Watford will grow in confidence and could well take all three points

Seemed a clear penalty but luckily for us it seems overlooked. That is unless the ref gives them a penalty start of second half.

We need a kick up the backside. We should have been 1 down and with a penalty as well it could have been 2.

We need to get a lot better on the ball and stop standing round like bowling pins expecting something to happen with no movement.

RVclaret · Post by **RVclaret** » Sat Feb 05, 2022 6:59 pm

Poor. So rigid in our formation it’s painful. We are crying out for someone to help out in midfield. Get McNeil in CAM and Cornet left.

Agree completely but the crowd has a chance to help. We have been poor again but a good atmosphere may give us that extra 10%.

Vino blanco · Post by **Vino blanco** » Sat Feb 05, 2022 7:00 pm

I’m enjoying watching Westy, Stephensy and Lennony controlling the whole of he game. It’s like watching Barcelona at times.

Mrpotatohead · Post by **Mrpotatohead** » Sat Feb 05, 2022 7:00 pm

We are bloomin awful. Same boring game plan and it is doing us no favours whatsoever.

Agreed we need to do something radical rather than more of the same

Hibsclaret · Post by **Hibsclaret** » Sat Feb 05, 2022 7:02 pm

I don’t reckon the wind helped tbh. Should be better second half, fingers crossed.

Culmclaret · Post by **Culmclaret** » Sat Feb 05, 2022 7:02 pm

Thank god we’ve already beaten Derby’s 11 points……

Burnley go close

Anything at the mo, Spades.
A bit of mustard on the pie might liven our lads up.

We really are beyond bad at times. Come on ffs.

Buxtonclaret · Post by **Buxtonclaret** » Sat Feb 05, 2022 7:15 pm

Not in the game is Dwight.
You'll see a 30 yard screamer from him soon.

What's Ben doing..
Good job Watford are crap.
