    Yes we certainly were wasteful with the ball and not really pressing without it either .

    Tom Cleverley has gone fourteen home games unbeaten at the start of his career. Only Klopp (who managed fifteen) has more.
    Watford's next game is against QPR. Bottom of the league, one win all season. Watford could make (or at least) equal history

    I think you are chancing your arm there mentioning it. It would be very Watfordy to lose against the bottom team!

    I was cautious enough when doing this thread to say that one day we will lose at home.

    It would be very Poundland Arsenal to go all Spursy against the Steptoes!

    I think Sierralta was a lucky boy to not get a second yellow.

    A very ugly win, but to get anywhere you have to win these games so we are doing ok so far

    At half time we were demanding Andrews be taken off then he scores with our only shot on target

    Doumbia looked good when he came on, gave their centre backs something think about

    We are now 4 points off the target for auto promotion

    The one blot on the referee's copybook today. The sort of 2nd yellow that ought not be given on the local park, but would be wholly justified if not mandatory at any decent level.
    Excellent game, otherwise.

    Sierralta was very lucky. Foul on edge of the box, then 2 mins later an obvious hand ball, both should have been yellow and I think that's why he was subbed before the ref got the next chance to send him off.

    Cancelled out by being a very unlucky boy to get the first one.

    I think you did more than that.

    As you can see we got away with it a bit.

    Certainly was - wise move although not sure the Bristol City management made the most of it.

    Perhaps Bayo should try playing in heels, also Louza when he takes a corner....
