  2. We have - and that City team are no mugs. But most of all credit to the owners and manager for taking this seriously. Happy bunny tonight and two very happy, but cold, nieces!

    I hope that our Seb got to the game and enjoyed it, forgetting his pain.

    13,000 in the ground. That would have been a good crowd when the Pozzos arrived.

    As one who went I can assure you it was a very professional performance. Got what we deserved in the manner we deserved it. Very easy, didn't get out of second gear. Shame it wasn't Gray when Richarlison came on. They had some kids in the team but an excellent confidence boosting performance, TC rightly MoM.

  10. Totally agree - but was nice to see us seize control and not lose it. That has been a problem.

    I take back what I said about Capoue, Mex. He was idle. I know he scored, but he just happened to be in the right place. Hoddle syndrome - has the talent, just can’t be arsed to use it. Didn’t warm up with any of the intensity of the others, so I thought maybe he was taking it easy ready for the game. Unfortunately he took it easy for the whole game, too. He was the only member of our team who didn’t put in a solid shift. I was impressed with the rest of the team, they were great. He only got away with it because of the quality difference between himself and City players.
    You were right, I was wrong. <ok>

    Bit of a unit! Very strong, did simple things very well. Went up for corners and I wouldn’t fancy marking him.

    He did! Didn’t like all the standing up for all our chances, mind! He’s OK, and thanks to everyone for their kind wishes. No karate for him later, no PE this week, but he’s fine.

    I thought his terrific performance might go under the radar! Magnificent runs, pulling their defence this way and that, a right little sod he was to all their plans! He broke up play, provided quality balls in, assisted on the wings overmanning the attack, generally caused havoc. And didn’t stop. For a second. Cracking player. :emoticon-0115-inlov

  18. He has such a great attitude and is a very good player - and he really seems to be enjoying his football right now which is great news for us. Next captain perhaps?

    Great shout. He puts in performances the like of which should inspire. But do you think captaincy might divert his attention from wreaking havoc? Is it possible to do both?

  20. I think it is - it's all down to mental attitude. I love Troy to bits but sometimes feel the "Mr Watford" tag he has cultivated can be a bit of a burden for him.he seems to put too much pressure on himself and gets very frustrated when it does not work out which can then affect the team. Don't get me wrong though - this isn't meant as a criticism because there's not enough people in the world who care too much.

    I also prefer central defenders or centre mids as captain as they can see what's going on in front of them. And of course they are fully involved anyway so if they are already vocal and supportive of team mates it's easier.
