    Poor first half by us, not sure why, I was beginning to think the 3 games this week was too many.
    Hard won 3 points having dealt with a lot of Stoke pressure in the first half.
    Still not the finished article.
    Back to Hive hopefullly, makes you realise how bad streams can be sometimes.
    See you next time. Have a good w/e all & keep warm.

    I think sometimes the ball is a bit bouncy. He moves it out nicely, butI think he’s got to improve how friendly the ball is to control.

    "Two pieces of quality made the difference but Watford again showed the 'ugly' qualities you need to succeed in this division. More quality will be needed but the base is largely solid and confidence is clearly growing. Oh, just a reminder there's almost half a season to go yet"

    I've seen the "not a foul, no penalty" on Pedro... that is utterly ridiculous, totally incompetent, borderline dishonest.

    Not the most entertaining game so far but the result is what counts
    Yes the ref was the worst so far this season Deeney could have had a hat trick of penalties
    And as for Kiko's yellow should have been the other way round
    Deeney got his revenge though when he accidentally trod on the Stoke players foot

    I have been quite impressed with most of the refs we have had this season, but this one was dreadful. I hope he never gets any higher, but you have to ask how he managed to get this far.

    Watford boss Xisco Munoz:

    "Troy was perfect. He was excellent. I love him because he gives everything. He always gives me the best. And that's a third win in a row, so I'm very happy.

    "I have an excellent relationship with Troy and the rest of the players. It's important for all our team. He's an important player in the dressing room."

    "The most important thing is the three points, but we can get better. We are heading in the right direction. Stoke are a very good team, but in the second half we were much better."

    True but the assistant reVARees should have pointed out a couple of his obvious errors or have the rules changed to make them impotent as well as incompetent

    No VAR this season but I can't see his assessor being impressed. Poor judgment all too often and nor was he consistent.
