MATCHWATCH : Watford (a)

[Notts Royal]

Annoying thing us we are creating. Should be back to 2-1.

Their second pissed me off. You were shown he can hit it when you backed off, so why back off again.

Get on the front foot 2nd half, there are goals there.

What hacked me off more was Gibson fannying around and giving them the ball.

Puscas a worse miss than the Joao one? He had a defender bearing down on him & Meite hit it at pace to him. Yea he should have buried it, but Joao had acres of time & space to tuck his away

No, with the defender on him and the ball at pace you just need to redirect it as best you can. 2cms to the left and it's a goal.

We have ripped them apart at times so to have nothing to show for it is poor.

Re Gibson, yet poor. Lost it once got a second chance, lost it but Moore backed off Sarr too just 90 seconds after the whole defence backed off him to let him score. Hardly a shock when he shot.

Still think Joao’s was easier simply as he didn’t have a defender on him. Puscas has played well apart from it & hold up play decent.

For the 1st The angle was tight & Moore was most likely expecting a cross. Agree on the 2nd though

[Sutekh]

Sky commentary team just said Moore should have closed down for the second, not stand off. Totally agree and it’s not just Gibson making mistakes.

Moore stood off for both goals

TBF the players aren’t used to playing in April.

João had time to just passs his in. Way way worse.

Yeh not even a contest

[bcubed]

How is that not a yellow for Hughes?
Totally cyclical no attempt at playing the ball
Or even cynical

[CountryRoyal]

Where did we have success against Watford first half?

Ball on the floor, direct skilful running at the opposition.

What are we doing this half? Neither here nor there slow build up football in our own half.

It just plays into Watford hands.

Interesting discussion on Reddit with an Everton fan. Apparently Virginia and Gibson were shit because "you're shit".

[Brogue]

Sky commentators are clueless. Talking about how much we’ve spent this season in trying to get up. We’ve spent oxf*rd all

[Zip]

Once again Pauno reactive rather than pro active. We need to go for it. Nothing to lose and still no changes.

They also said there are some at the club who thought we should’ve sold players to make some money. News to me. Who are they?!

[bcubed]

Lovely run from Olise. Clearly pulled back (again) and even the commentators thought so

Wait til the 80th minute when we’re 3-0 down and he will bring on semedo.

[windermereROYAL]

Not creating anything this half.

[Brogue]

Richards and Joao coming on

[Ascotexgunner]

João and Richards coming on.

Be interesting to know what wages Esteves and Semedo are on.

[CountryRoyal]

Not creating anything this half.

Intensity completely dropped.

My goodness Pauno brining on Joao and Richards? Before the 70th minute? I’ve seen it all.

[Sutekh]

Richards and Joao coming on

So Gibson and Puscas off then presumably, masterstroke to make no difference whatsoever.

[Notts Royal]

Sky absolutely love Olise, regardless of how he’s playing. Hopefully that adds a few £££ we can recoup

[bcubed]

Not going to see Puscas and Joao together then
