    Just seen bellusci's red card incident. Really not sure about that at all. Watford player made the most of it. Not a foul for me and therefore No Red and No Pen....

    I think we would probably still have lost the game, although you could argue that the incident came at a pivotal moment, but its just a stinker that we may miss Bellusci for 3 games now

    According to Eddie Gray, we played much better today. The sending off clearly changed the game. Not quite sure why Sharp came off instead of Antonucci. That itself suggests the Hock really doesn't know what he's doing. Probably best he moves on, even if it is a bit soon

    Hockaday said he thinks he's doing as well with these players as anyone else could. Says they're "closer than people think." #lufc

    Asked if he thought he'd get more time in the job, Hockaday said he couldn't comment on that or control it. #lufc

    DH said he took Sharp off in the second half because he thought Antenucci was more likely to nick a goal. #lufc

    Hockaday thought Leeds were well in control and said Watford were getting "agitated" before Deeney's penalty. #lufc

    I thought the same,we were dominating possession at the time and on top,and still had more of the ball with 9 men 54% that's a first this season.Midfield still the problem.

    He may have a point on the penalty, and as for Byram's sending off... But to suggest Antenucci was more likely to score than Sharpe....

    Probably best he does go. Only saving grace from today are the Wall lost as well & Ross must be wondering whether or not he made the right decision given that Fulham also lost

    Their 3rd goal <doh> Shocking defending
    Their 4th goal - goalkeeper's mistake
    Definite pen
    Very lucky Leeds goal

    Cheers TC, really appreciated that. 1st sending off looked iffy & LUTV reckoned the 2nd wasn't a great deal better either. That said, another defeat, & even I reckon the Hock's days are numbered.

    By the way, something wrong with my computer. It isn't showing the 'Wall being top of the league as we were promised. What happened?

    Definite pen if you are a Wall fan or a Wum (or both). You see those sorts of decisions given and others alike not given up and down the country every week. Seemed a little harsh, but at the same time we wouldn't be complaining if it was for leeds. A soft penalty.
    Agree 3rd goal wasnt prettty to watch for a Leeds fan, but I just think all the defenders were afraid to stick a foot in in case the Europeans took another soft tumble in the box. Looks like today was a triumph for the Italians over their countrymen.
    4th goal? who gives a crap.

    We may not have had all our own way but it was an enjoyable afternoon. We seem to enjoy playing against you. Hockaday seemed completely ignorant to the fact that Sharp was head and shoulders above the rest of your team and was your best chance of scoring. Why the hell did he think it would be best to take him off??

    This just proves that you cant just bring in a number of players and expect to walk the league. You have to have players who work together and a manager who can gel them all together.

    Went along as we didn't have a game (QPR fan in Watford).

    After a dodgy first 20 mins or so I thought some of the football you played either side of half time was very good. Rarely too threatening but you were in control a fair bit at 1-0 and 1-1 particularly. Austin had an excellent game IMO.

    The mistake leading to the penalty was obviously the turning point. No doubt Forrestieri played for it but it had to be given. After that the players and manager pretty much gave up. Up to then, the general feeling around me wa that you'd stay on top and nick a 2-1.

    Cheers Watford. Pretty much consistent with what LUTV were saying at the time.
