It was willful and reckless! Could have been a red.

Let’s get to half time and not concede. Then regroup.

Could 3+ mins stoppage time.

I wouldn’t mind if we were just going through the motions by keeping possession but we aren’t even doing that atm

Arronson, Gnonto and Bogle have a good understanding.

Otherside… Solomon has been a lot quieter than largie since coming on.

Wonder if James might have been a better sub for Largie?

With the Bachmann, squirmer, over line, it made me think back to what a poster mentioned after the previous match about seeing Messlier push everything out during the warm-up rather than catching. With us watering the pitch heavily pre-match I wonder if the ball is really slippy, expecially early on, and as such the bext policy is simply to push it clear rather than catching it.

Have to miss the 2nd half. Glad we scored two already

Any idea when Sky will show highlights?

To be fair even though we have sat back a bit we are still creating more chances than Watford. Halfway through the first half it was 4-1 (in our favour) in terms of shots but by the end of the half it was 11-4 in our favour.

Sometimes going two up early on can mess with your head as we’ve seen so far.

Bit meh.

Not really done anything brilliant but been ok and were gifted 2 goals.

Like to see more from Solomon.

Meslier needs to he stronger at set pieces but a.nice save

And think Aaronson has been better today, Piroe touch poor a few times bur working hard and lovely pass to Willy
