    Very happy with Kamara today.

    Quality player and ideal for what we need right now in the Championship.

    Young Mr Eire would have been in tears of joy if he'd witnessed that live at the stadium <ok>

    Agreed, and if it wasn’t just for sentimental reasons Archie shouldn’t (or rather, doesn’t need to) walk straight back in. Let’s hope Gruev is a find too because I am struggling for a bad signing so far :emoticon-0148-yes:

    Can you imagine listening to a conversation between Neil and Farke? It would be like pretending you can understand Shaks <laugh>

    Tough afternoon on the golf course, so haven’t seen the game but sounds like great result, great performance. Even better considering Watford had been playing better than their results suggest and not conceding many chances. MOT

    FARKE said he had to have words at half time with Rutter telling him not to enjoy himself too much and then at full time he told him not to start taking the piss out of opposition players, don’t disrespect them and show them up with the magic you have. Keep it under control ….. no mate you take the piss out of them

    Remember the season his Norwich pipped us, first part of the season getting used to his style of play then went on a massive unbeaten run. Hopefully seeing the same thing here.

    We were very good today. Totally dominant until the last minute when they had their shot on target.

    First half we were very much the better side but as usual we missed some really good chances. It felt like another frustrating afternoon was on the cards.

    2nd half we actually put some chances away and it really could have been more. As soon as that first goal went in you could see the confidence levels just go through the roof. Particularly young Georginio who missed a sitter 1st half. He just oozed class during the 2nd half and had some gorgeous touches towards the end. He really did look like the real thing (apart from his miss).

    Just one thing to note going forward and that's that even though we've kept 4 clean sheets on the bounce the old vunerabilities are still lurking. Today we've completely dominated the game but still allowed Watford 2 good chances late on to score, exactly as happened against Sheff Wed and let's not even talk about the glaring chance Hull missed.

    Bottom line is if we score first we're going to be difficult to peg back but if we don't, or can't take our chances then defeats will happen.

    Jamster Watford are one of the better teams in the league with some very good players also a striker who is fav for leagues top scorer, maybe edged out now by Piroe.

    In the words of Graham Smyth:

    11. Georginio Rutter
    9 - An outrageous display of skill. A joy to watch. Yes, he should have scored in the first half, but he put on a show for the remainder with the ball at his feet.

    Their style suited us down to the ground today Doc.

    Hard to say they went toe-to-toe but they certainly didn't play narrow or attempt to have two banks of four etc.

    Interesting that nearly all of Georginio's best work was when he came deep to link the play similar to Harry Kane. Think that's what Farke wants with Rutter dropping into the whole from the no' 9 position and then Piroe running beyond which is what we saw to perfection for the first goal.
