Don’t understand these people moaning about a point today when most folk after the Brighton game were saying they’d take a point a game for the rest of the season.make your minds up people

Much better 2nd. half but many underperformers today. Tomkins was brilliant but Ward, RLC, Cabaye, Townsend and Macca were terrible to put it mildly. Can't help thinking that playing two recognized strikers up front today would have given Watford something to think about. Still a good away point, I'll take that any day.

As others have said....happy with the point. Watford are a very physical side...win everything in the air. Better second half...but I guess at half time if you would have said a draw...I would have taken it. Not at our end.

Hope I'm wrong but wasn't that Wilf's 5th. caution this season. Is he suspended for our next match? I think the cut off was a few weeks ago and you needed 10 altogether to get a ban just for bookings, so no.

Point & a clean sheet away to a team above us is always a good result unless it's the last game of the season and you need all 3 points. Well done to Roy again.

Listen'd on the radio,first half they were on us lucky not have been down. "2nd half we just about shaded it. the bookings,so what, it was a hard fought match. Yeah we should have had a pen not much chance it was gonna be given. 36 pt folks barring a miracle from stoke and southamptopn we're survived another year! Smiley face

Anyway, we were pretty rubbish going forward bar about 15 minutes in the second half. We do seem to struggle when teams are more aggressive, so it would be good to bring in someone a bit tougher for next season if we stay up. Maybe that Amadou lad from France? Perhaps if we clubbed together and bought Milivojevic a Rottweiler that would help?

Must admit when he made that tackle af the end, it did cross my mind that it wouldn't be the worst thing to happen if he was sent off. Can't believe he'll play bexg week after that performance, bit with roy you never know. ward should have been substituted a long time before that , he was having a mare of a game and did not the the pace to keep up with the game , TFM or Arron should have been brought on both have more pace and turn of speed , imo
oh yeah ,fcuk off brighton. |

I was having negative 'Willo' thoughts about an organised Watford team at home, and it proved a hard game. So a point really pleasing. 6 points clear and 3 to play means we can play football without seizing up. So quite hopeful now, ok it's not quite over the line but think if you are 6 points off the pace at this stage in the PL that is a big ask for Stoke or Southampton.

Thought Loftus Cheek was far more effective in the middle, for the little time he played there. Zaha and Townsend are so much better coming off the wings than as strikers. Today sort of evident that we need to fork out big this summer, Parish won't be happy in the slightests. A point is definitely frustrating as they were there for the taking. If it was another day that Tomkins header goes in off the post and the Wilf stonewall penno is given. Onto the last 3 games Edited by SeagullHunter (21 Apr 2018 5.22pm)

Also think Sakho & Tomkins deserve a shout, considering we finished that game without conceding, especially after the first half. Thought they were excellent. Proper pairing in the centre of defence. Edited by Mstrobez (21 Apr 2018 5.22pm)
We're the Arthur over ere! |
