    Sissoko is injured. I do not understand Cleverley's team selection. Two young and inexperienced central defenders could be given the run-around by Morris. Why not play three central defenders including Pollock (who is an aggressive player like Morris)? Luton like to play long balls into the wing areas so would five at the back also not make more sense rather than packing midfield? Ince is experienced, but I have not been convinced by his recent performances.

    Don't know what Sky think they are doing - rarely have I heard two such insipid commentators.
    Had to hunt around for an iFollow stream they're so bad.

    Penalty to Watford....

    And TDB slots it home.

    The iFollow commentators are both from Luton - both think it wasn't a penalty.
    Don't know why - nailed on for me.

    Great run by Chak - passes across goal to give Kayembe a simple tap-in

    I wish we'd stop farting around with the ball at the back.

    Watford well on top of Luton's bruisers - but I still think TC should bring on Pollock.
    And replace Ince with anyone on the bench...

    What do I know? It looks as if Cleverley has got the team selection correct up to this point, although I was not impressed by Ince when he gave the ball away on the edge of the Luton penalty and Luton almost scored from the resulting counter-attack. Watford outplayed Luton in the first half and the two young central defenders have looked very solid.

    Let us hope that Watford can play as well as they did in the first half and increase their lead in the second half.

    Women on commentary are so utterly abysmal

    That would have been a goal and a half by Chak if the keeper hadn't stopped it...

    And the two central defenders.

    Thank goodness they were rubbish because that second half was awful and very negative tbh .

    Nice to win but felt a bit disappointed in our tactics in the end .
