Forestieri just doesn't look like a footballer any more. We dominated the game in truth but didn't take some really good chances. Hull will overtake us tomorrow. 2 points lost but we'll come back and win midweek.
Truly awful 2nd half, complete bobbins. Dreadful finishing by Anya and Forestieri, dreadful. Vydra off the boil. Throwing too many stupid points away. Wolves are dirty feckers though.
Sloppy right from the first whistle. We got what we deserved, same as Palace. I wish they'd stop showing our games on ******* TV.
fernandos last minute miss reminded me of when you press shoot for too long on fifa, along with aim assist turned off
I am really starting to dislike/hate how we coast on tv games/some games after leading. If the pattern is with TV games I hope to god we don't finish in the play offs and get the autos instead
At the end of the season we will rue games like this if we do not get second. Only consolation is Hull take on Palace on Tuesday and hopefully we can win against Wednesday. But it's the same old story. Go ahead and decide to sit back, get deeper and not impose our style but instead come down to their level resulting in a scrap. I make it 14 points now that we have gifted away this season. And that is a lot. Very disappointing. But they have to get themselves up and think about Tuesday and hope Brum, Ipswich can throw a spanner in the works tomorrow. Unfortunate Chalobah had to come off because Hogg's distribution skills are poor. And in the words of Brian Clough Fernando Forestieri want's shooting. Bond did well though apart from one little miscalculation. The referee was terrible. Constant clips and niggly little fouls not called.
Always the same old story.. get a goal and then shutdown and seem to think the game is over now, played absolutely awful in the second half yet as soon as they score, we actually go forward and look for a goal, where is the sense in that? It was there for the taking, should have been pressing for a 2nd straight away not leaving it until the 93rd minute when they score. Fair play to that Sako lad though, looked very very good and extremely dangerous all night, whenever he was on the ball I had genuine fear, can't say the same for any of their other players. Poor from Zola I must add.. too late with the changes, reminds me of Palace. Can someone also enlighten me on why Hogg is still playing games? Absolutely dreadful player, can't tackle, can't pass, can't keep the ball so what use is he? I don't think he managed a single succesful pass when he came on.
Fuming, typical Watford performance, we're too petulant at the moment and aren't finishing teams off! That's four points dropped now in front of the cameras having dominated for most the game! Anya and FF twice should have won that game for us! Anya's miss was horrific...awesome play from CLASSetti though. Zola better rip them a new one after that! Need to hope results go our way tomorrow and come out all guns blazing against Sheffield Wednesday! Feels like a defeat. Well played Bond, thought he should have been MOTM.
Generally average performance. Decent first half, had chances in the second but faded away. Wolves derserved the goal. 5 minutes injury time would have been less if Vydra and Anya hadn't ambled off, so it's our fault there really. We seem to have ground out the last couple of results, and I hope this isn't a trend now. Really do need to take our chances better or the playoffs it will be I'm afraid. Vydra also doesn't look quite as sharp as he once was. Not the end of the world tonight, but slightly deflating none the less!
Wow I'm fed up with that. What a lot of old sheeeet. We should have won that one by a mile. We were all over them.
Anya and Forestieri cost us, 3 awful finishes between them Hogg was rubbish when he came on as well, brought on to shore up the midfield but constantly gave the ball away and then leaves a man free on the edge of the area
Bo11ox! We're not going to win every game but that feels like a defeat. Onwards and upwards though, it's another point. Not the end of the world. Move on to Tuesday night.
Sickening. Haven't seen the 2nd miss from FF, but can't believe we didn't wrap the game up earlier. Poor second half, we didn't do the things that got us into the lead at all after the HT break. Really disappointing.
Should have won that - looked in total control and they relied on hit and hope but I suppose despite us looking composed the goal was coming due to their added determination. Anya miss and Fessi miss were both important - but Bond made some cracking saves and both teams had clear cut chances. Still a point isn't a disaster - in fact it doesn't change our situation at all in some ways. If Hull win they go 2 points above us but we still have to play them (though of course we now have to win - a draw is no longer enough)
That was a gash second half.....again. The final 35 minutes for the last 5 games have been very poor....whereas it was the complete opposite before Christmas.
Slips come, inevitably! Honestly after all they half-deserved the draw. Pity for the many clear chances wasted but that's what happens when you do that. A pity but also the teams around us had many slips and will have more. We must simply slip less than them. It's still 14 points in 6 games, which is not bad at all.
Vydra has to expect this. All players when they sparkle for the first time are a bit of an unknown quantity then the opposition get clued up on them. He is trying to overcomplicate a bit and should release the ball more quickly when he is double marked so others can utilize the space. Batty could make more runs off him. He'll bounce back though. He'sa natural scorer and like any marksman will want Tuesday to roll around quickly so he can correct what he must feel is an injustice. He's still popping up in the right areas though. Delivery from crosses (and heading which isn't his strong point ) was pretty average. If needs be he should come out to the wings if he cannot find the space centrally and set up overloads on the wing. Right now as soon as he looks up 2 players are usually in his face. Not helped either by the referee ignoring continual pulls and a stamp on his foot from Johnson.
Unbelievable 10 minutes. They score, miss 2 unreal chances and Derby miss a penalty. No need to panic Mr Mannering, i'm sure we'll get back on track vs Sheff Wed.
Definitely. Just seen it again and not only was it a long throw but we won the first header! Ridiculous goal. And does anyone else think Anya was trying to cross back in for his chance? Surely there's no other reason why you'd take it on your left and curl it away from goal?
Just sloppy all night. Rather be sloppy against a team and earn a point rather than be sloppy and lose all three.
