Well since I actually went to this one I guess I should voice my opinion too. Definitely a game of 2 halves.
I agree with most of what MS said except for Madine being the best player. I was surprised to see him and Hope start and whatever carpy game plan we had was scuppered by losing Hutch and having to make a forced substitution so early. Hope looked completely lost, or should that be less and had about as much positional sense as a drunken blind man. Even my daughter spotted this after the first few minutes. Like MS said I don't think he will be playing again anytime soon.
To me May doesn't have the understanding ( not surprisingly) with Madine like he does with NooHoo but also they were playing too far apart due to having to chase down a lot trying to win the ball back. Then when NooHoo came on he had to revert to more of a midfield role but he does work his socks off for the whole 90 mins.
Watfords forwards are a pacy lot and play through balls along the ground. Most of the time they were too soon and offside but the linesman on the NS side was usually about 10 yds behind the play and I don't think the official at the other side was any better.Their players went down for very little reason and generally conned the ref into free kicks. TBH I think Westwood was still recovering from being clattered by forestieri when giving up that second goal and semi should have kicked spaghetti man into row z earlier.
The introduction of Drenthe for the second half made things much better because we were attacking down both wings but as usual we can only seem to make headed clearances into the cop from crosses though some of the shots created were good and worthy of a goal.
Overall we didn't deserve to win but a 2-1 score would be a better reflection.
Personally I hope Drenthe starts the next game because we definitely looked more balanced with him on.
I can claim to have seen the mythical Hutchinson though !!!!!
Unfortunately I will be flying back during the Brentford game and then back to WW next Saturday.
Lastly I hope we can all return to being our big or should that be massive happy family and leave SCO to draw the line on how badly we can behave on here. All the other carp that's been posted over the last week is getting tedious now and I put a lot of it down to the boredom of the 2 week break in league games.
WAWAW???
