    And a new player revealed during the game?

    TC: We showed today we have more than one way to win a game. The start was bad but I was pleased we showed patience, and so did the fans who really got behind us. Bayo’s earned that goal and Moussa’s leadership in all areas showed again

    Paul Warne: the two #watfordfc goals were excellent. If I wasn’t working for Derby I would have applauded the Bayo goal, it was great technique. And Sissoko took the second goal very well.

    Does seem to be honest and fair.

    Unlike his assistant!

    9 points in the bag, so only 41 needed for safety.

    That is the sort of game we would have lost last year or just grabbed a point

    TC said at the start of the week he wanted to see how we would respond to going behind, there you go Tom

    There will be many games like that in the championship and we have to dig out many, many results like this to keep in the top six

    How lucky were Burnley to play Luton on the first day of the season, and us to play Millwall but we are still up there

    Although we can rightly praise Bayo for the great finish, it is worth looking at the pass from Pollock that set it up.

    I said as much as the time - moving forwards with the ball, he looked up, spotted the possibility and delivered a pinpoint pass.
    An excellent assist for an excellent goal - wouldn't surprise me if we've already seen the goal of the season.

    That was the 3rd or 4th time we had tried to play that type of ball into that position. Clearly a tactic identified by the coaches pre game.

    Around a minute before FT today I looked up from typing and was struck by most inside the Vic being on their feet, chanting and willing Watford across the line. It's been quite a while since I felt that. There's a collective togetherness back again. And that feels good. Anthony Matthews
