    He did the other stuff better too. Not brilliantly but better. Competed in the air a bit, held it up a bit. Really screwed up what was a fairly simple pass to play in Andersen but it would have relied on Andersen then running 15 yards and shooting on target so no real harm done. He’s become a bit of a cult hero all of a sudden.

    He's better, but still too often pretends to challenge rather than actually doing so.

    If we'd been offered a 0-0 before kick off no one would have turned it down, Watford had so many quality attacking players and the physicality to roll over us but the first half has to be the best we've played this season given the opposition. Glaring misses and a stonewall penalty declined could have put us out of sight by the break. The depth of Watford's squad showed in the second half and we were pinned back by attacking subs and our own lesser quality off the bench, in the circumstances we put up a determined rearguard and were helped by poor finishing by Watford whose best effort was a cracking free kick off the bar which stayed out by inches. Celar's late effort off the post would have been a deserved winner but hey-ho we're on an upward curve and that big gap has virtually vanished. Bring on the manky canaries...

    Absolutely. Won a few quid on Brighton v Southampton anyway and the Celar one in particular was the result of being a couple of pints in. As 12:30s go it was a great day anyway and I’ve found four idiots willing to come with me to Bristol off the back of it. Lovely early start again.

    He's improved but is hardly chasing down and menacing defences like Mich Frey does. I still don't see the effort myself, like you say he's doing an impression of someone challenging for the ball.
