I’d be taking Flamming off now he’s on yellow

Know nothing in that incident in area then but Watford will be looking to make most out of any contact from him

Watch them try to get ZF sent off. We know what is coming.

This lot are the most undisciplined set-up I've seen in a long time.

Edwards been good for me. Very busy, loads of fouls. More touches and passes than any ahead of Cullen.
I agree with this.

He gets stick but that’s because he’s on the ball so much that he inevitably makes the odd bad decision/over hits the pass etc. I’d rather my wingers be like him and Anthony in that they’re both in a game 100% as opposed to a 1 in 5 mercurial type. Good team player.

That ball back across from Hannibal for the second goal is really good.

Think their game plan was to kick us off the park today, but they should have realised this Ref was giving everything right from the start of the match, and then should have reigned it in when the yellows started flying.

I’m watching on a dodgy stream with Watford biased commentary and there’s some cockney sounding wide boy co-commentator who is absolutely clueless.

Both reds were wrong, Flemming should be off etc. etc.

******* clown.

That was exactly my take in the proceedings. Experienced heads lacking with their bullying tactics.

Game isn't over, yet. They still have strength and energy.

In the first half hour, he was really awful. Lost the ball needlessly many times. Much better second half, but still well within himself. He has more in the locker than he's showing atm.

Indeed. It was once a league record that stood for over 80 years.

We need to be careful.

They have power, strength and energy. They could easily break away if we're sloppy.
