    Ironic cheers as Cedric gets the first shot on target, in the 93rd minute.

    8 goals in our last 13 league games going back to last season. Held scoreless 9 times in those 13. Simply not good enough.

    Forster behind our attacking play.

    More facts.

    We have failed to score in 9 of our last 12 games.
    We have taken 11 points from our last 12 games.

    That's relegation form and needs to change soon because our fixtures in November and December are very tough indeed.

    Full time.

    Credit to Watford, they deserved that win in spades.

    First league defeat of the season. Only slight positive I can see.

    My word we look crap. Was contemplating going today, glad I decided not to.

    To the players - pull your ****ing fingers out and put in a shift.

    They are a good team, who strengthened their attack. Watford aren't a **** team anymore.

    Getting a bit desperate.

    Crap streams all round, so didn't get a great look. Probably lucky for me.

    Why didn't Lemina play? At least make it hard for them to score! Not sure how we are going to get over this problem, as confidence must be a factor now.

    Did Gabbi make runs that weren't spotted again?

    Maybe so but they're not the team we should be convincingly beaten at home by.

    everyone was just so ****ing static and slow.

    Our tactic: Receive the ball, take a touch, if nobody has come to you, jog forward until you are surrounded by players then either continue running into the player and lose the ball or turn around and pass it backwards.

    very few supporting runs, slow closing down, no one touch passing. no desire. Usually i look for things we did well to build on but i've got nothing.

    Yep Watford are comfortably a mid table team, losing 2-0 with only 1 shot on target is really quite poor though.

    We have to beat Palace.

    Simply for confidence purposes.
