Match Day Thread Watford v Rotherham

Matej Vydra coming on for Odion Jude Ighalo.

 

I´d be gutted to be taken off on a hat-trick.

Still, better the form he is in to keep him from running the last 20 mins or so....

 

Smallwood gets a yellow for pulling back Abdi. Freekick from 25 yds.

Just wide from Daniel Tozser.

 

Corner to the Horns. Cleared.

Last ditch defending from the Rotherham defenders.

 

13,468 attendance.

 

Vydra wins a corner. Deeney heads towards goal, put behind for another corner. Cleared.

 

Vydra puts Deeney through who finds Abdi but the ball bounces up and it is put over.

FF comes on for Deeney.

Cathcart error gives Rotherham a corner. Blocked, 2 nd corner. Cleared.

 

Crowd screaming at the players to go forward more.

 

Watford now just trying to run the clock down. Rotherham create a good chance but have little quality up front and well as a leaky defence.

Blackburn 1-2 Norwich.

6 added minutes

 

Vydra shot saved by keeper.

 

Norwich now 1.2 up. we´re back to 6th.

 

Ipswich 4-2 Brum

Derek Payne believes that Rotherham are the worst team to visit the Vic.

 

a win is a win though and can´t knock one tonight after losing the last game !



Messi just showed his human side and missed a pen and rebound!!

 

Abdi hits the post in the final minute of the game. MOM display from him.

FINAL SCORE: WATFORD 3-0 ROTHERHAM

 

Everyone won again! Maybe 6 should get automatic promotion this year

 

Maybe we should spare a thought for the hardy 301 fans who traveled down to support their team despite having dreadful away record. Well done to them.

 

Rotherham were rubbish. Formation was clunky, too narrow and would not work against a better/top six side. They were there for the taking, but team selection didn't reflect this. And what on earth has Pudil done wrong? Bombed out in favour of a centre back?

 

Just a thought. The ref hardly got a mention on the commentary.

 

I agree it was very narrow. However, I don't believe we would use that formation against a better or top six side. It was obviously a deliberate plan to put out a narrow side and we from the sides don't know what the thinking was or what was planned, so difficult to judge whether it was right or wrong

 

Zat Knight was apparently in attendance... Rumours he has signed!

 

Wiki has him as our player already...
