Thread: Just got back....

  1. #1

    Just got back....

    Outplayed until we scored, with Etheridge making 3 or 4 superb saves to keep the score down.

    We seemed to be overrun in midfield and gave Watford so much time to play in front of our defence on the edge of our box. We made them look like Brazil at times.

    Talking of which their 3 goals were outstanding efforts, as was Junior’s.

    But why did it take us to score 2 goals before we took the game to Watford? That has to be the tactics as we are so passive away from home. Surely just a bit more adventure would improve our measly return of away points, at least against the teams where we MAY have a chance. We actually played a bit of football towards the end of the game.

    Murphy was poor today and rightly subbed at HT and NML did well when he came on.

    Despite having a decent game both of Camarasa’s free kicks towards the end when we were chasing the equaliser were so poor :-( Which is strange for a team that relies so heavily on set pieces.

    All that said at 3-0 down it had been a pretty miserable afternoon but by the end at least it felt like we had given them a bit of a game.

    Good summary. You could also add that NW needs to tear up his away plan and start again because so far it’s not delivered and also must have a pretty demoralising effect on the players.

    Pretty decent summary that.
    I’d also add that our fans were very very loud at the start and end of the game. If we’d got that undeserved equaliser it would have been chaos !
    Also Vicarage Road is looking a very tidy ground now

    On Radio Wales they sounded very loud for the whole game.

    We're so deep and negative away from home. Obviously going for a draw from the start. We went out not to concede and find ourselves 3 down. Then we take the attacking option, score 2 and concede none. Warnock needs to start trusting the players away from home and go for it. If we went for it from the start I don't think we would have found ourselves 3 down.
