    Good to get back twice but some ropey defending going on.

    Do need more consistency there and a striker who can get involved more .

    Least the midfield can score .

    We will miss Kayembe .

    That was a game that should have been on the TV

    A fair draw for both teams

    A young Sean Dyche in defence and a striker who can make and score goals

    Despite being Argyle fans, the commentators were very fair, and agreed that a draw was a fair result.

    I would like to see us take a punt on Hearts captain Lawrence Shankland - currently top scorer in the SPL. He's had a hand in most of their goals this season - there was mention last week that Hearts might let him go for around £2 million.

    The SkySport pundit who was there said despite the conditions the first half was the best ever he had seen working for SkySports

    I don't think VI likes Louza too much. Send him on in the 84 minute, to get wet and cold. Actually, it is difficult to see how his style of play fits into our mid-field at present.

    I got up this morning at pulled the curtains back to see it peeing down outside. I am no longer a young man and thought very hard whether I wanted to go today and get soaked for my troubles. I almost didn't go. Now I'm glad I did and what a game to be at live. I would applaud your lads both in the stands and on the pitch. Most teams have come here looking for a point and time wasting from virtually the kick off. Not Watford to your credit and it was clear they wanted a result. It was as has been said already end to end stuff and for us to go in 3 = 2 up at halftime was a bit of a surprise. Could have been 6 = 5 at that stage. Yopu came out in the second half and it looked for all the world to see that you were not settling for that. Sure enough it was 3 - 3. Here is the thing though, neither side were going to settle for that and both still went at it until the final whistle. Best game I've seen in quite a while and it took 2 teams to make it so. The conditions were testing but not detered they still went for it. Well done Watford and the final result was justice for all I think although maybe 9 - 9 should have been on the records.

    Having just watched the extended highlights young Whittaker from Plymouth would thrive in our side

    By far and away the best match I've seen on Hive. Breath-taking game, fabulous to watch. I think we're on our way to matching Valerians' Barnsley side in terms of entertainment and attacking endeavour. Just need to tighten up at the back... for all our sakes!!
