    Good performance from us, but it has to be said that Rotherham were pretty poor.

    Onwards to Leicester, who hopefully will be in for an unpleasant shock...

    Was just thinking about the last time I saw us hit Rotherham for 5 - back in 1969. It snowed that day and the match was televised due to many others being snowed off.
    Almost coincidentally, we're expecting snow tonight. It's near to freezing outside already.

    Cannot complain about that !

    5 goals and subs having an impact again .

    Ok Rotherham were poor but still got to do the business.

    Nice to see Rajovic take advantage of the crossing and Ince /Kayembe getting their first goals .

    EDIT: Sorry forgot about Ince scoring v WBA.

    It should boost confidence going into the International break.

    Thanks. I got a phone call 2 weeks ago to come to the hospital and pick up some new antibiotics. They told me it would take a couple of hours. But they tricked me. Two weeks and an unexpected operation ( but only a small one) later, I hope to be going home on Monday.
    And yes, a welcome result

    How much longer must we endure this rubbish, a team that held Ipswich to a draw and we can only beat them 5-0

    Sack the coach, get rid of the entire team and **** off Pozzos

    Football fan ehhhhhhhhh

    Never let it be said that Watford fans dont always get behind their team regardless of how well or bad they are doing I must say the Rookery did not even make real sound until we went 4-0 up or maybe we just could not hear them over the cheering from the pensioners in the Lower GT Stand

    Rant over

    This was the same team that held Ipswich away to a 2-2 draw, very, very physical and took no prisoners, this was probably the first we performed the way VI wanted since the QPR game

    The only weakness was Porteous, booked and very erratic apart from setting up Kayembe for his very well taken goal

    Ben Harmaer was cool, calm and never panicked or made a single mistake, I think that helped the defence in front of him and the passing out of defence looked more assured and he went long (and accurate) a few time to test the Rotherham centre backs

    More of this and we might even start climbing the table, keep the faith

    I think that yesterday at times, some of us were taken back to happy times, when a cross came in from the wing, and a long leg stretched out to prod the ball into the net. Looking at the highlights, every one of the five goals was a good one. No scrambles on the line that hits a player and goes in, but players seeing an opening and going for it. More of the same please!

    Def worth persevering at least against the poorer teams...and it will relly build confidence

    Conflicting reports that the Rotherham manager has paid the price and been sacked although nothing official.

    Ironic is it not that we are world renown for sacking managers BUT losing against us has resulted far more managers being sacked even some at the top level in the premier league

    Ken Sema receives the MOM award, which is hard to argue against, but I would have put Livermore as a very close second.

    I'd forgotten about that game. I was there. On cold days like that my grandmother put two hot baked potatoes in my coat pockets to keep my hands warm until half-time, when I would eat the potatoes..

    How did you manage to keep them warm in the second half?
