I was very nervy but we didn't blow it in the second half and held them.... Now a couple more wins... And........
They showed that a few times... Not the times he's been kicked through the game. Still silly, got away with it without VAR.
Great result, much improved performance, got away with it a bit, another clean sheet. A game of contrasts. Fortunately Sarr was clinical tonight. Dodgy mid two in the back four first half, returned to granite in the second. Entertaining game, reminded me of the Blackburn home game. Points in the bag, time for another Old Peculiar!
Brentford have to win four of their last seven games just to equal us. The pressure really is on them.
Reading fans admit that Watford largely managed the whole second half. Seems that the only difference between the two sides is that we have a £40M premier league striker.
I feel we haven´t been on great form after the International break. However, it is results that count and especially at this stage of the season. A win at the Kennel would really make Promotion feel close!
We will make top 2 I'm sure and hopefully we will be there if Norwich trip up! Mathematically top 6 secured tonight (Bournemouth can catch us but Reading or anybody below Bournemouth can't).
Watched it on sky and maybe just me BUT the commentators seemed to be willing Reading to score and eventually win They were relieved when Sarrs third was disallowed fo offside
A special mention for Carlos Sanchez who came on to replace the injured Chalobah for the second half. I have had my doubts about his speed, but tonight he hardly put a foot wrong. Maybe this was just set up to suit his game, which was one of control.
Yes - his experience and know how showed. 2nd half was much better. We are 2 wins from promotion now and a draw. 10 points is needed and that is if Brentford win all their games which I don't think they will.
Agreed - but what annoyed/worried me more was their continued focus on the Pedro 'elbow incident' and claims that it was deliberate - and worthy of a review by a disciplinary panel. Even with my yellow-tinted specs, I'm still undecided - so I wonder what a panel would make of it. A four match ban looming? Maybe Troy will return sooner than expected - even if only to the bench.
