Match Day Thread WATFORD v BLACKBURN ROVERS

Playing better this half - but I think we've blown it.

 

Wasted opportunity by Sema

 

Ah well - back to the drawing board

 

I am lost for words....

 

Another week of work ahead. Maybe our possession game is allowing defences to get packed out.

 

Seems that way..... but a lot of positives to work on too

 

Last 3 games… 55 shots 22 corners, no goals.

Says it all !

Played ok but no good for Ismael if we keep losing .

He’ll be gone .

 

Blackburn's first away clean sheet in 13 games!!!!!!!

 

We need to move the ball quicker with one or two touch football, our blocked shots are because we seem to need an extra touch to set the shot up

The ref was Blackburns best defender in the second half, four times he got in the way of a move and gave Blackburn time to reset, accidentally of course, he also was inconstant with free kicks and bookings, he allowed a couple of shockers to go without a free kick but booked Hoedt for a simple collision

Very much a work in progress but Blackburn were very very lucky today

 

Martins had a good go but no-one seemed keen to shoot.

Looks like a few have written the new lad off already but he did get into some good positions.

Problem was we didn't get the ball across enough.

Certainly didn't deserve to lose.

 

Ah! See my Brian's Predictions League comment!! I was up in Newark at the StoneDead Festival (Blue Öyster Cult, Black Star Riders (Scott Gorham of Thin Lizzy) among others, average attendee age would probably be 50+; by far the most civilised rock and metal fest I've been to) and failed to find a commentary on my drive home, but when I saw who was referee I just knew we'd struggle to get a result. We always do with him, never, ever, a homer.
