    I didn't see much change in what we were trying to do.

    No and we have all the harder away games to come!

    I am sure Munoz doesn't want to be like that otherwise we might as well kept Ivic.

    Pedro did more than Gray and had a proper attempt at goal
    Sarr just does not look interested most of the time, we need Kiko back to create some crosses from the right

    Kiko and Sarr seem to play quite well together. There was a lack of understanding down the right wing.

    I avoided posting any criticism of the choice of Xisco Muñoz when he was first appointed, although I was surprised and disappointed that the club had appointed a head coach with so little experience - especially when his support staff have no more experience than him. I thought that the club must have a good reason to make such a left-field appointment so I was prepared to support the decision of the club and to give Muñoz a chance. However, I am becoming convinced that his appointment was a serious error and that he is out of his depth as a head coach in the Championship.

    I think that it is worth posting a comment, which was posted on another forum, relating to the television coverage of the game today:

    "The match commentators said that Muñoz also played 4-4-2 most of the time when he was at Tbilisi, although he had experimented with 3-5-2 in training with Watford during the past week. Danny Cowley was scathing in his comments about the tactics: at half-time he said that the two wingers were playing too high up and that the two central midfielders were being over-loaded. He said that Watford were playing as individuals rather than as a team at the end of the game. Paul Cook was more restrained in his comments, but he believed that Watford have some very talented players and there was always a possibility that one of them might produce a moment of quality.

    Don Goodman mentioned that Watford lacked intensity (unlike Coventry) at the start of the game despite the remarks by Muñoz after the Q.P.R result and he suggested that Watford played too many hopeful long balls. All the television commentators and analysts appeared to agree that Watford will not be automatically promoted if they continue to play in the same manner and that they are unlikely to be promoted even if they reach the play-offs."

    For once I find myself in complete agreement with the TV analysts, the fact that Murray goes and plays for Forrest and scores just shows we are not playing to our striker's strengths ( some were saying he was past it when he was with us) and as a team, we are not a cohesive unit offensively.

    The fact Dan Bachmann got in the team says it all!
