Match Day Thread Watford vs Southampton, 3pm Saturday 30th October

We are pretty bad for time wasting generally. McCarthy picks up his fair share of yellows for it.

 

Yeah you were roughing us up a lot, especially second half. The Kucka challenge on Redmond was near-GBH

 

Agree with this. I can't be alone in noting that Adam was initially criticised for always firing straight at the keeper and now he is picking his spot. He just needs to fine tune that gun sight and he'll be off on a scoring run. Mark my words; he's learning and adapting.

 

Many thanks for putting this up. Nice to luxuriate in the feeling, it's Sunday, 3 points, game over, life good!! Gardening brownie points for me yesterday so no real opportunity to tune in but at least I don't have to watch MOTD tonight.

 

I hope the expected flow of goals come soon. Keeping a one goal lead for 60+ minutes is wearing on my nerves although I felt more comfortable than I would have done last season.

 

Your players made it easy for ours to go down and just kept on doing it, although there were times when I thought that the ref must have thought we were Man Utd or Liverpool as there were quite a lot of soft fouls being given that teams like us don’t usually get.
We always take a long time on throw ins, even when behind.

 

He`s been excellent this season - he also doesn`t dick about with the ball at his feet like he used to.

 

Yes probably got a point - very honest of you though to say that.

Same with us regarding throw ins and we never actually win the ball from them!

 

With us there isn’t very much movement for the thrower, usually. Maybe the players are just taking a breather from all the pressing they do.

 

Our throw ins have been an advantage to the opposition for a while, have improved recently because of Broja an Livramento

Broja winning the long balls down the line and Tino taking short throws for a return and actually keeping possession

 

It’s why the general public should be given the chance to vote on important things… like leaving the EU for example….

 

I felt Saints made hard work of dispatching Watford and should have had the game tied up by half time. The scoreline did not reflect our dominance.

Yesterday's result by West Ham is quite salutory and indicative that our sraw against them now looks like a very good result. I would love us to get 6 points out of the next two games and take us above Everton. Itnis always more comforting to have racked up 20 points by Christmas.
