    Great win after a slow start.

    Wonderful tribute before kick off.

    Well they might have a point about the Fuller incident although it looked like a foul they certainly cannot complain about the free kick being given.

    What was Hollowhead raving on about on FLS when he claimed that Troy Deeney said "it wasn't a foul?"

    I suspect Deeney was clamming a penalty infact!

    Anyway its not our fault they cannot get a wall together to stop what was coming....and fell asleep for the other goals.

    I've always wondered generally why managers and fans act as if a decision(s) made in the first half (except a red card potentially) has be the deciding factor in a game when you've got another half or more to recover the situation (I would have backed us to come back from 2-1 down had Millwall got and scored the penalty)

    The chances are later in the game you might get a decision to even things up if anything!

    He should look at their defending/concentration in terms of a wall/making up TBH.

    Such a shame that both the BBC and sky decided to completely ignore the wonderful tribute to our fallen heroes. The BBC at least mentioned it but failed to show the display. Lazy journalism.

    Meanwhile, I thought the ref was poor for both teams and the linesman was awful, but it was great to see us keep our heads and stick to the plan, even after going a goal down. It's lucky Eddie Howe is having such a good run, otherwise I'd fear manager of the month!

    Yes I was extremely disappointed by the FL show. The Beeb's website does show a picture of the display, but to not even give a glimpse of it on the program was very poor.

    I have seen that some Millwall fans have said how good it was, overriding their disappointment at their team's defeat.

    What do we expect...little old Watford should never be seen to be doing anything right - no matter what it is.

    And if we think it will be any better if we get to the Prem, remember we still have Mr Lineker with his very personal vendetta.

    Some of the Millwall fans are probably quite decent and appreciative of the effort and effect produced, however remember these are the same fans who collectively sang homeophobic songs.

    I really enjoyed yesterdays match - I didn't think the referee was that bad and from where I stood (sat) most decisions were just about right - Deeney was fouled outside the box initially and the Millwall guy did a lot of play acting for no reason that i could see. Both teams played attacking football - we were the better side and won through our clinical finishing although it could have been more has Paredes managed to cross the ball from the two breakout at the end of the match. For me Ighalo looked a really good buy now he's decided to join permanently and he was my man of the match. I will give credit to Millwall who came to attack and certainly had me watching the clock 15 minutes from the end - Holloway may be a banana seller but his team played in the right way most of the time ( fouls aside).

    I'm actually pretty pissed off. No recognition of the effort and no recognition of the fact that the players dipped into their own pockets to help fund it.

    (Mini Bloother...look away now) s**t coverage from a s**t programme. Sorry, but I'm really hacked off.

    BBC = Bl**dy B*llsh*t Cr*p
    FLS = Flipping Lame Show

    Really is a pile of rubbish not just from a hornets perspective, the general view seems to be that its sub standard drivvle, time for a shakeup.

    If the Millwall fans (& Hollowhead) think they were robbed yesterday, they should cast their eyes over this -

    http://www.smh.com.au/sport/soccer/...-never-be-the-same-again-20141102-11fn1l.html

    Two of the most blatant penalties you'll ever see not given - handing West Sydney Wanderers the Asian Champions League title. At least the Millwall players didn't resort to spitting at the opposition after the final whistle....

    Although like many I cannot be bothered to watch the FLS very often because it is so poor, but I can see that with the amount of time given to cover all the games in three divisions it cannot ever please viewers. Maybe the time has come to have greater regional coverage with all teams given more time in their area. In many ways Jon Marks has been doing this with the weekend preview show and follow up after the games. The coverage is just what most fans would like to see, given the restraints of contracts, but then you do have to pay something to receive it. No doubt if there were a 15 minute slot in the south east news progamme there would be many complaints from those who are not interested in sport.

    I'd like to see faster extended video show on hornets player with the oppositions view also to be available within a couple of hours of the final whistle. Editing in with te player commentary would work for me...

    I'm not in favour of a regional bias (unless there was red button access to every region or else I would see even less of my team), but a shake up is needed. The format is okay but it's invariably poorly executed. Time for some new blood in presentation and editorial staff. Anyone would think it was a Loo town fan club magazine. The bias is astonishingly blatant.
