    McBurnie. Started and finished a great move to score
    Geldhardt. Was linking up play well surprisingly subbed
    Amir. Steady in the middle held possession best in midfield

    Gave points away there second half to a fairly poor Watford side. Should have had clear lead first half anyway.
    Awful second half performance
    Totally wrong early substitution decisions took off wrong players (unless injuries?)

    McBurnie
    Hughes
    Geldhart.
    .....
    Credit to the Watford manager for changing it in for the second half when he filled the midfield. We were slow to react and paid the price. They were lucky to go in at half time only one nil down and he spotted where they were going wrong.
    Thought Watford had some decent individual players but were a bit disjointed as a team but still good enough to steal the points off us. It was us who looked disjointed in the second half.
    Our second half performance was dismal. Don't what happened during the half time team talk, if we had one at all, because we were out on the pitch way too early and stood around waiting for Watford to come out, and when they did they were bouncing where as we looked as though we thought we'd already won the game.
    Also thought it was a mistake taking Geldhart off when he did.

    Ugh … well at least Yorkshire escaped relegation and we’re tonking them so far in the Ryder Cup. As for that, it was awful. Somehow we gave a crap Watford team the belief they could beat us, and they did. It wasn’t even a surprise.

    McBurnie - if only for the goal, and the great shot against the post. Other than that, I didn’t think he was at his best

    Struggling after that
    Hughes for the goal line clearance, but some of his other defending was naive.
    Gelhardt for trying to make things happen.

    mcburnie, scores goals contributes around the pitch. class
    Giles, could have had another couple of assists today, delivery is great
    Haji, though he broke play up well

    missed chances. go 2 up today they collapse.

    Disappointed we didn't get something from the game as we could have had the game won at half time with other chances not taken.
    1. Mc beastie boy - Goal , another game were he was a pain for the opposition
    2. Joseph - loads of effort going forward and in defence .
    3. Amir H - was solid in the middle and helped breakdiwn Watford when they tried to attack . Not sure why he was subbed .
    Unlucky boys
    Come on City

    1. McBurnie - He was very aggressive in his play, took the goal well.

    2. Drameh - Set up McBurnie & had a couple of chances to score himself.

    3. Amir H - I thought he held the midfield together, but they had a lot of pace & when we sat back in the second half, it showed how they can cut through us like a knife through butter!

    Overall a disappointing result, they were there for the taking, just couldn’t kill it off today.
