We really wasted another chance here. Look at the other results! We should have been sitting 4 points ahead of 7th!
Thats two 1-1's this season. I think that speaks volumes. The anger at MM can be dropped now, i will still want you guys to loose, but no more than every other team in the championship. I would wish you good luck, but that might mean you pip us to the play-offs It was a good game, a physical one, and again the ref lost the plot as i expected he would. You apparently did not seem comfortable at 1-0 (nothing changes) and we could have had 2/3 but for goal line blocks.
Seriously,can someone please explain to me why we drop so deep and try to protect a one nil lead as if we are four goals to the good? Lucky we got a point today.
'lucky to get a point today' bollocks, that was a game there for the winning....watford did nothing of note in the first half, apart from hoofing it down the channels, second half we let them into it, we hit the demba through miller i believe, came close to scoring a few times, but it was criminal to defend a one nil lead for the last 15 minutes or so, exactly the same as what happened against coventry, 2 points dropped again. it was good to see conway on the pitch but unfortunately he was injured by quite an awful challenge from a watford player. the watford goal, which i was in line with, was offside too. quite laughably, marshall was booked for time wasting when he was asking for a new ball as the one he had was dodgy..
Swamp! Watford didn't need to do anything in the first half other than contain us.They did what every other team that plays us do,attack us late in the second half of the game because they all know we are well and truly ****ed by then. Felt for Conway the lad did well.We were unlucky a few times but so were they.Did you see their miss from two yards out where the lad sky'd it?Cowie MOM in my opinion.
Deeney sky'd it, he had one cleared off the line. Eustace blasted over. But you also missed a header in the first 2 mins from about 2/3yrds. So it could have been 2/3 each. Swamp. The ref was ****! We know that, he allowed two players to fight right under his nose and get away with it. It sounded like we both should have been down to 10 men.
babyhornet! I didn't want to go down the poor ref route as you would probably accuse me of being like Malky but as you raise the subject,it doesn't take much research to find Mr.Deadman is one of the biggest pimadonnas in the refereeing world.I believe he has booked more players than any other match official in the league and is proud of the fact,he loves the attention.He ignores blatent punches and head to head stand offs yet books petty misdemeanors.Standards in refereeing are shocking but goals win games.
After a game like that i cannot blame you for mentioning the ref. I completely agree with you. Before the match started he had issued 58 more bookings than any other ref! And after the match he has issued a grand total of 196 yellow cards this season. I am ashamed to live in the same county as him!!!
ITIWRAN, Agree about Conway my MoM too, Conway was doing okay until he was poleaxed the ref was yellow but should have seen red.
4pts out of 6 is a marked improvement so you cannot be displeased with that..we cant buy a win at the moment so its lucky we have enough points in the bag for this season.....
fantastic away support by watford btw, better than the vast majority of teams in this division this season
Happy with 4 pts Dai but 6 would have been better, the Swans can win their next 4 games but you should be happy where you are now.
