    They're a bit better drilled and Watford are having to force the issue a bit rather than it coming naturally.

    We don’t have the composure and skill to create clear chances.

    Swansea deserve the win in all honesty.

    Ah well - Swansea deserved the three points - entertaining game though.

    Fair result, should have gone and got the second goal but at least our football is more entertaining with a change of attitude from the team.

    Have a good weekend all.

    BBQ for us later. Won´t taste as good with a loss but "ni modo."

    1st half was good.

    2nd half disappointing in the sense we didn’t really create much.

    No complaints. Better side on the day won, I think Xisco needed a couple more weeks to face a team of that quality and get something out of it. A loss but, for me, more positives than negatives.

    Deeney and Gray both missed chances they should have scored, especially Deeney
    Needs a rebuild and go for it next season unless we can do it again in the playoffs and then a massive rebuild
    It was fun while it lasted

    No complaints when you lose to a better team on the day. Worst away scoring record in the Championship up against best defensive record in Championship, probably says it all. Have a good weekend all and stay safe, no matter where you are.

    Just needed more up front.

    He’s probably expect Deeney and Gray to link up and play better .

    Lots of huffing and puffing but no quality against a solid side .

    Never looked like getting back in the game .

    I liked the commitment from Swansea's defence - probably the main difference between the two sides. They were better drilled and prepared to block with their bodies - very reminiscent of Mapps really. One instance springs to mind - in the first half Gray made a break (can't believe I said that) on the counterattack and found himself at the edge of the penalty area, just to the right - and was confronted by seven defenders, with no other Watford player in sight. As tight as it has been this season, our defence has never been that good.

    I think we’ve had 13 clean sheets so far.
