Match thread: Watford - Norwich City

Mad five minutes from both sides, giving the ball away.

Good break from watford, good defending from the canaries.

 

Belkalem very cool in clearing. Watford getting more of the ball now.

 

GFZ not happy about a couple of misplaced passes.

 

Permanent horn I heard!

Oh, you're talking about as in Hornet?

 

3rd corner to Norwich. Garrido takes outswinger.

Win another corner.

McEachran down injured, he is off and Connor Smith to come on.

Corner cleared.

 

Derek Payne struggling a bit with 'McEachran'.

And 'Hoolahan' for that matter.

 

Hoolahan shoots, Bond puts it over the bar.

Corner, Johnson heads it against the bar.

 

How serious does it sound?

 

Hoolahan is certainly the danger man.

Quick break from Watford. Acuna shoots but wide. He is hobbling a bit after a heavy tackle.

1 added minute.

 

He was holding his hip or lower back Mex.

 

Watford have held their shape well and restricted Norwich to long range shots apart for the one headed against the bar.

HALF TIME: 1-0

 

Wow a good showing so far, need to keep them quiet and grab a second in the second half.

COYH.

I was worried that Acuna and Fabbrini might be too lightweight up front. Has this been the case from the commentry?

Cheers for the comments OFH

 

Bond has made two good saves. Watford very lucky to have two good keepers.

Acuna may be replaced for the second half as he appears to be carrying a knock from late in the first half.

 

Elmander for Norwich and Deeney for Watford have both been warming up.

 

"All of the players tonight could earn a place in Saturdays game."

Acuna still hobbling but stays on.

 

Norwich have changed to a 4-4-2 system.

Bond rushes out to take the ball on the edge of the area.

Fabbrini shoots but wide.

 

Hoolahan hand ball.

Faraoni Shoots wide.

Murray shoots, keeper good save.

"Great stuff from the Hornets".

 

"Watford have nothing to fear when they pass the ball around quickly".

Belkalem heads clear. Very cool defending.

Deeney on for Acuna who didn't manage to run his injury off.

 

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Faraoni

 

Now see what Deeney can produce against Prem opposition....
