Match Thread: Watford v Birmingham

Jon Marks suggests that it won't be long before we start to see real progress on the east stand.

 

Very quiet opening period.

 

Scrappy opening with passes on both sides going astray.

Burke mis-hits a cross and Almunia has to put it behind. Corner hit over the bar.

 

1st corner to Watford given away by Robinson. A hint of handball? Nothing given.

Deeney plays in FF but ball just over hit.

 

Merkel shoots just wide. Well played in by Deeney.

 

Penalty shout for Brum now, again not given.

 

Brum full backs are pushing on and leaving space out wide.

 

FF tries to play in Deeney, but offside.

 

Free kick to Brum in a dangerous position. Easy catch for Almunia.

 

That is why Hall can't be captain, shame not to see Anya either, and well Ranegie, we'll have to wait...

Cheers for the thread OFH

 

2nd corner to Watford.

Cleared for a throw in.

Goal kick Brum.

Ekstrand goes off and Doyley on. Injury.

 

Bad tackle by Angella. Gets told off but no card.

 

Scrappy period of play again. Watford need to keep their passing game going.

Deeney tries to play in FF, but though to keeper.

 

Brum working hard in midfield to close Watford down. Need to get the ball out wide as the centre of the field is filled with bodies.

Corner to Watford. Angella flicks it on, but Deeney cannot get a touch.

 

We missing Anya out wide OFH?

 

FF gets in behind their defence but offside.

 

Think that Anya is missed as they seem to be weakest on the flanks.

 

Beppe Sannino does not have the same first touch as GFZ.

FF and Robinson collide and finish up in a heap.

Watford being hurried into giving the ball away.


YEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSS

DEENEY

 

COYH a win/draw today would be unbeaten in three, and given recent form an improvement for us...

 

Very strange goal, missed his kick, but then is given a second chance.
