Good report Watford and pretty much as i saw it (Even though i would give us fans a 10 of course . Great support as usual). I didn't get to go down VC so went with Corals on the better odds coupon at 11/4, and with Barca and Seville added infor the treble my day was paid for with a good few quid n top. Now thats what i call a perfect day
Have just watched the whole game back and I have to say we are looking a good side now. Played some lovely stuff and Faurlin was again immense. We now have a solid back four and our 4-2-3-1 formation helps us to out-number teams in the middle of the park and enables us to play some great possession football (although, again, the TV commentators couldn't get our formation right!It's NOT 4-3-3!!). Traore is a revelation for me. SO good on the ball!! Gabby and Ferdy read the game well and the two full backs are quick, especially Traore, although Ferdy looks very quick too. Well done too the travelling Rs...sounded great. I may as well say it...I think this is destined to be the best team we've had since Stan, Gerry et al!! My rankings: Kenny - 7 - Not much to do! Young - 8 Very solid Ferdy - 8 Ditto Gabby - 8 Ditto Traore - 8.5 Very good on the ball and his speed gets him out of trouble at times Faurlin - 9 Absolute class Derry - 8 Solid as ever SWP - 8 Always looked a threat Adel - 8 Some good link up play and is now playing the right pass almost all of the time Barton - 8 Solid and "in their face" as usual Betty - 7 Held the ball up well. I remain to be convinced about him, but I'm willing to give him a chance DJ - 8 Took his goal well Smith - 7 Worked hard. As reliable as ever Hall - 7 Looked solid enough Hopefully we survived the game with no injuries as Wolves are very physical. Would like them to go down this season tbh.
I've only seen the match on Sky, but it appeared that Gabbidon was struggling to pick up his man. On at least two occasions his man got head of him from dead ball situations, and they didn't have that many opportunities. Is this fair, or has he been unfairly treated by the highlights?
I think he did well. You can see Ferdinand is more composed on the ball but for your bog standard 'head it kick it' centre-half he looks decent. The full-backs were both class too
