Sheffield U are a very strong team. They’re holding up the other 23 teams at present.

I will take a bet with anyone that they will finish above Boro. Early days!

Interesting conversation on Twitter, Watford fan saying Sheehan is massively out of his depth.

I didn’t see tactical issues today though, I saw a need for more physicality and a giant hole up top that needs filling. Any issues we had today I thought were down to player decision making and physical limitations.

If anything the Watford manager was the worse of the two, losing control of the match and responding by having them fall on the floor every two minutes.

Few things to unpick there.
1 Watford fan says Sheehan is massively out of his depth. Hmm, no agenda/confirmation bias there at all. They are probably hurting big time having spent a long period of the game calculating how high in the table they would be tonight with all six points.
2 Did Watford take their foot off the gas and try to defend a lead? Or did they run out of steam after 55 minutes of high pressure? Or did Sheehan’s substitutions neutralise their game plan by bringing on more physical presence in Stamenic and Vipotnik?

Watford were horrible. Definition of anti-football. I hope we put six past them in the rematch.

I agree he isn't the sharpest thinker but he tried to get a shot in when he clashed with the keeper albeit an argument could be he could have got there quicker I guess

He got there in time, but instead of having the conviction to drive forward or move the ball to the right out of reach of the keeper, he shit the bed and kicked the ball straight at him.
