Match thread: Watford - Bolton Wanderers

Abdi shoots from 25 yards. Just over.

 

Lonergan comes for another cross and once again gets nowhere near it.

 

This is really encouraging so far. Gomes can throw the ball over the halfway line. 1st shot from Bolton sails over the bar.

 

Alas Blackpool sound every bit as bad as their preseason suggested they might be...

Meanwhile at The Vic it sounds like old times...

 

Quieter period. Abdi pushed over and wins a free kick.

Bolton goal kick.

Watford working very hard to win the ball back when they don't have it.

 

Deeney/Vydra link up is very good. "They trust each other."

 

Lots of promise down the right hand side. " Heurelho Gomes has the longest arms ever seen."

 

"The Watford midfield has been very creative"

Abdi shoots after good build up. Straight at keeper.

 

Half time: Watford 2 - 0 bolton

 

Hope they can sustain this- we could be a real force. Mind you, sounds like olton are poor.

 

got up 10 min ago great time and thanks for the updates

 

Lovely job, half way there!

 

Straight from the KO Paredes shoots against the crossbar...

 

Feeney coming on for Pratley.

Second half underway. Paredes smacks the ball against the bar. Looked as if it was going in.

 

1st corner to Bolton. Shot comes in, deflected for a 2nd corner. Gomes takes and almost sets Vydra free.

 

Paredes wins a free kick. Headed clear. Abdi shoots, blocked. "Pin ball stuff in the area".

 

Gomes ordering the defence out.

Paredes step overs, but cannot quite find Deeney.

Game opened up a lot this half.

 

Bolton defence not very impressive. Vydra sets up Abdi, shot deflected inches wide. Corner. Keeper claims the ball.

 

Abdi almost in again. He is getting a number of chances today.

 

Feeney gets in, but Gomas pushes the ball round.

Moxey goes off. Dorian Dervite replaces him.
