Match Thread: Watford v Reading. Sat 11th jan 2014.

McGugan shoots, but drags it wide. Getting better.

 

oh bugger!

 

At least it wasn't a goal

 

"Watford's back three are dropping to deep." "They need to get up nearer the midfield."

Fabbrini shoots, deflected, then cleared.

 

McAnuff played in by Merkal and shoots just wide.

 

Free kick to Watford 30 yds out after a bad tackle. McGugan takes it, the wall does it's job.

 

? Does Merkal know McAnuff left Watford?

G Barry has just pinged in a great goal for Everton.

 

Watford mixing up the length of their passes, short ones then 50 yard ones.

 

Merkal shoots straight at keeper from 18 yards

 

Deeney shoots, charged down. Bellerin looks dangerous when he gets far enough forward.

 

Signs of life from the Horns then.

 

Bellerin gives away a free kick down on the goal line. Headed over from inside the box.

 

Sounds as if Reading can be just as sloppy as we can be. Deeney isolated in the box. Fabbrini needs to get closer.

 

"Watford being made to defend rather more than they would like at home".

 

2nd corner to Reading. Cleared by Angella.

 

Merkel good so far on his defensive duties, but some of his passing has been wayward.

 

The Vic is very quiet so far, apart from Harry's drum.

 

Reading playing with confidence. Fabbrini chopped, free kick. Good delivery, but no one gets on the end of it.

 

Fabbrini brought down again. Angella heads it towards goal but east catch for keeper.

Great ball in by McGugan, just ahead of Deeney.

Good spell by Watford. Shout for handball in the box.

 

5 minutes to go this half. Reading defence showing signs of creaking a bit.

Merkel booked unfairly by an unsighted Ref.
