It is difficult to know what to make of that. One moment of class amidst an awful lot of dross. I really do get fed up with this play it sideways, backwards, forwards, sideways, then back again. It is something that seems to be widespread, even being seen in third tier French football. It was after Sema came on that we started to look as if we might create a few chances, as he crossed from the goal line, but he was sent on to play as a replacement fullback. Up to that point Ngakia looked the most likely player to create something, but if only he could take himself in hand when he does cross the ball, and stop over hitting it. The penalty that wasn't seemed to take the wind out of Wednesday's sails, as they were on top at that point, yet didn't really get going again after it. A very welcome three points, but I wouldn't like to say how many points out of ten I would give Watford.
Good run and shot . For once . Not deciding to stop and pass the ball back like so many do ! Sema was certainly more forward thinking too .
Attendance 19102 apparently - the weather must have scared away a large number of season ticket holders.
Oh so do I. England did it in the first half against Italy but were more positive in the second half and it paid dividends. My football knowlegable brother says all the passing sideways and back is to pull opposition players out of position and that you should always pass the ball the way you are facing. Well it doesn't work. Nothing scares the opposition more than running at them, crossing the ball and moving forward at every opportunity. Nuff said.
Trouble is you have to do it with pace and accuracy which we have neither of unfortunately despite Hoedts best efforts to play a ball out wide .
Watford F.C. has posted a video entitled "Short Highlights" of Watford's 1-0 win over Sheffield Wednesday. I assume that the club posted short highlights because there were so few of them.
Probably the most interesting part - bar the goal and the non-penalty - is the pre-match minute's silence.
