Can't watch today but from what I can follow I'd agree, it sounds like we are lucky to be in the lead. That said, how many times has it been the other way round and we've deserved it and gone in 1 down, so lets take some encouragement from that. Big half time talk and second half coming up! COME ON RANGERS!
I'd say we do deserve it, in the sense that were punching a bit above our weight and putting a lot of good pressure on their defenders.

But we're living dangerously at the back and Watford's man for man quality is there to see.

However, at times, Watford look a bit disorganised at the back, which we seem to have taken advantage of. So, we might be able to score another if they don't shape up. But if Watford get themselves organised, I'd be worried.
 
A good and entertaining first half.

Two fortunate goals for 1-1 and then a great counter attack for 1-2.

Could very easily have been 2-2 but I am not complaining! :)

This 2-1 lead doesn't feel safe. They keep breaking past our back line way too often, the offside traps are not working.

We've taken two chances but, overall, Watford look the better team and I'm concerned about them getting into their next gear.

We have to smarted up a bit to their through balls and mark players a bit better.
Yes tight margins. We are playing a high line and they are trying to pass it through and behind us using their quick attackers. But we're causing them problems at the back too. Good game, pretty even. Paal getting targeted at LB.

I haven't rated Paal that much since he's arrived. Hope he can step up.

The half time team talks from the two managers are going to be important in this second half.
 
From where I am, there was a hand ball in Watfords goal.
Definate control of ball with lower arm before shooting.

Linesman who has not been good missed it.. Will admit Stroud may not of seen it.. but linesman missed it. Probably thinking about an offside he missed a few minutes before.

We are going to be very strong this half..
Watford are strong going forward, mainly through long balls

Could see Beale's imprint on us that half.

I disagree with the commentators. Dickie ****ed up. He's decided to take it away from the goalkeepers hands and hasn't booted it clear. Even if the player has pushed Dickie a little, Dickie has put the situation in the hands of the ref to either see a push or not see a push. Not good enough.

Guarantee it would have been disallowed at the other end
