    My 5 year old neice could of scored that. Dreadful miss, he's got the finishing of Deeney at the Salad Bar.

    I thought that was alright. Given most of us predicted a big defeat, which could still happen, I thought we were the better team. We've got good options from the bench to come on later.

    Still so negative, we had a free kick on the halfway line that's time to get your players in position upfield and it goes back to our keeper... so bloody boring.

    I’ll take it but can’t see where the foul was for their goal

    Oh well...

    Someone did suggest offside too.

    Maybe HB1 is the ref.

    We... we can win away?!

    That said, I still don't see the foul for their disallowed goal.

    I didn't see the incident, but the referee was 100% correct to disallow their goal. Totally nailed that decision.

    It had to be King Ken; you love to see it.

    The rest of it was dire stuff; our lack of quality with the final ball is despicable.

    But 3 points - we're less likely to have to worry about relegation! Huzzah!

    A battling performance, a bit of luck, some great saves by Bachmann and what a ******* goal by King Ken!!!! 4 out of 5 bananas.

    Biiiiig old win, that. Not least to get the away win monkey off the back.

    Some great showings from some much maligned figures, too.

    Bachmann solid and pulled off a couple of big saves.
    Ngakia positive and end product much improved.
    Livermore honestly superb, MOTM for me. Calming presence and an actual ball winner. 'Krap Ken' coming up with goods again. Kayembe with a fairly impressive box to box midfielder's performance.
    And finally Ismael, game plan and team selection was close to spot on, and he deserves a lot of credit for it.

    Glad I said we’d lose. I was tempting fate. You can thank me for that later.

    4 points off the play offs. We’re going up.

    Lovely goal from Ken, gives us a decent gap to the bottom, being four points from the playoffs is somewhat of a red herring, as we have 8 teams between us and 6th and 4 of which also have a game in hand, so even if we win another 4/5 on the spin we’d probably still not be in them, which of course we won’t.

    Agree entirely. I couldn't understand why whoever it was on the Swansea side, wasn't booked for whatever it was he did.

    Ken Sema, the only Watford player I have affection for is trying to win me back.

    Keep it going, Ken.

    Not sure if it’s been mentioned but two consecutive 1-0 victories with both goals scored in the 82nd minute!

    For their 'goal' their number 37 was holding Kayembe around the waist. Maybe it was that?

    I only really saw the second half, and then only Sky red button without replays, but thought we were on top and deserved the goal and win. We’re not functioning well in the final third and as with Saturday transitions though our midfield are like a pinball machine, but you can’t say the team lacked desire or didn’t get stuck in tonight.

    We deserved to win that. Good performance away from home. 8 points clear of relegation and 4 points off the play offs.

    4 points off 6th, 8 points clear of relegation. Can't remember who was talking about it but we've got some stinking fixtures coming up, so it's pleasing we're racking a few points in the more favourable ones currently.

    All of a sudden it's 7 points from 9 with 1 goal conceded in 3 games.

    We won away from home! Finally! It was a crap game let's be honest here though and despite Swansea being in good form they hardly troubled us bar a few scares towards the end. Top saves from Bachmann to keep it at 1-0. King Ken earns his plaudits once again with a stunning strike, a goal good enough to win any game. We have two of our the worst strikers in this division but our wingers can score goals now and then. How Bayo missed that chance first half only he will know, but we did play alright overall and to take seven points from our last nine avaliable is pretty damn good considering how poorly we are playing as a team.

    Defensive we looked sound again, with Livermore having another good game keeping things calm in the middle of the park although he did get exposed once or twice. Kayembe' looked a little lost in what he was doing, and Ince was hardly noticiable. We are still a side who are lacking goals but if we can keep them out the other end we might be alright this season. Millwall up next, a side that lost tonight and will be fired up to get back on track. They schooled us twice last season but I hoping with this bit of momentuem we have built up we can at least give them a game this time.

    Safe journey back to all travelling hornets, and for once it was nice to put a zero in the home team column and a one in the away side of the match thread title. Well done Val for keeping it tight and not letting Louza on the pitch to doss around. Rajovick gets worse every game with his effort. Can we not just bring Healy on instead?

    A performance to be proud of tonight, for all the lack of quality, this team certainly has the heart and effort we all demanded as a minimum when our team was full of talent but no heart.

    Great spirit shown, a rocket from the nicest bloke on the team. Back to back wins for the first time since Jan, a first away win since Jan, back to back clean sheets and a winnable home game in just four days time.

    Let's put all the reservations about the ownership aside and just enjoy tonight for what it is, a great result and good away performance. COYH!

    Dull game won with one bit of skill…similar to Saturday

    delighted for those hardy soles that have been spending their money watching this team play on the road and finally, after 10 months, seen a win. I struggle to drive 10 minutes to home games

    Excellent to get the away win.

    Cracking goal from Sema.

    Another moment of quality deciding a scrappy game.

    Didn't seem we were troubled too much but for the disallowed goal and naturally at the end.

    That was easy, Swansea looked like they had little energy, we were **** but they were *******, Lewis man of the match

    Oh I've missed you my dancing bananas, welcome home away! Cuddly Ken should demand some dancing swedes from the forum.

    Brilliant win. Final ball at times infuriating as our approach play was decent.

    Livermore again brilliant in the middle.

    Great goal from King Ken! What a legend!

    Back-to-back wins and clean sheets and our first away win since Naaarch away last season!

    Onwards and upwards!

    Well didn’t see that happening

    Again the official was MOTM, stream was freaking out when their disallowed goal went in so wasn’t sure why it was disallowed.

    We looked worse than Swansea for a lot of the game, but great goal and good assist from Asprilla

    Again defence did well, they were better in possession than us but didn’t get that many shots off.

    One thing I often wonder is why every other team seems to be better at passing than us
