5 minutes to go. Anya flying but, just a miss-pass. Game really stretched now. Watford counter attacking. Bond punches clear. Boro corner. Cleared. The ball keeps coming into the Watford box.
Murray has shown loads of energy today. Goal kick to the Horns. Some of their crosses have been poor. Graham header, Bond takes it under his cross bar.
Phew. Another one ground out. A good little run this. 6 points on the way to the 30 points from 10 game haul
I suppose that's what counts really, and he must have faith in his players/system - but stress levels certainly rise in the supporters...
Just got back and like Tuesday...phew. First half was pants and Diakité was absolutely awful (so glad he's out for 3 games). Good job 'Boro also went down to 10. Listening to 3 Counties on the way home Derek Pain (no, not a mistake) came out with a priceless comment. Describing the difference between the attacking style of Zola compared with the defensive style of Beppe he described it as a '360 degree turn around'
I wonder whether this was to protect FF as well as a bit tactical. He'd been booked and he was becoming a bit of a target for 'Boro players. But although we did go deep we did have some good breakaways. In all honesty, 'Boro never really looked like scoring, but it was nervy just the same.
