[Smurph]

Trying to understand who'd be in a negative mood after the result today, either way, bad form.

Win on the road with a clean sheet and it's still not enough for some.

Just odd

 

[Pegojack]

I confess I groaned a bit when Cullen came on for Fulton, but I thought he put in an excellent shift today, linking up our play and breaking up theirs.
Also a shout out for Burgess, who totally dominated when Watford threw high balls at us.

 

[Malaga]

Franco didn’t help himself though when he deliberately launched himself after he was pushed to make it look a lot worse than it was. It was really obvious on the replay.

I'll bow yo your superior knowledge, and my inferior ageing eyesight

Would probably have spun himself into the next century with angst after losing 0-2 down the Vetch in division 3 back in 87

Years ago we'd be happy losing two nil to Watford let alone beating them away from home

I watched the first half of Bristol Rovers and Newport County and it gave me flashbacks to those days.

We should enjoy what we have because none of us know what is around the corner.

 

[Michu78]

I personally think we can go on a run for the play offs, I think we will be one of the fitter teams come the end of the season with our squad depth. The Championship is a very poor league this season.

I watched the whole BR v NC game Smurph, it was like watching Motspurs reserves v Rockspurs reserves circa 1983

Funnily enough I thought to myself I've seen better teams down Ashleigh Road

Love the optimism but no. This isn’t a play off squad by any stretch.

 

[Rhoshilljacks]

If Matos can get Yalcouye playing like that on a regular basis he'll be a real asset for the rest of the season, very impressive

Was going to allude to that as well, by far the best I’ve seen from Yalcouye, constantly made himself available for passes and didn’t give it away once. Also broke up a number of their moves. Great show from him.

Neither are Millwall, Hull or Wrexham.

 

[exiledclaseboy]

Neither are Millwall, Hull or Wrexham.

Their current league positions say otherwise but I take your point.

The Championship is a poor league most seasons. This one stands out because the relegated teams aren't clear at the top. The key is consistency. If we put a couple of runs of results together, and we're certainly capable of it, there's no reason why we can't be contenders for a top six spot.

Hull are third and we could, probably should have taken at least a point up there. Same at Coventry. Wrexham are sixth and tactically they looked very limited down here.

 

[Jack2jack]

Missed the last 15 minutes. Very good win.
