22/23 The Official Watford FC v The Swans Match Thread

[Risc]

Great refereeing at the end, surrounded by Watford players baying for a penalty - he went to the linesman who hadn't flagged for a pen.

I thought we were 100% getting done over.

Fantastic and sees it up nicely for the Black Cats on Saturday which will have a great atmosphere.

Thought Benda did ever so well tonight and if he continues with this form he could be our next big money sale.

Kyle is blowing hot and cold - giving too much away at moment at key moments.

Where’s Pato?

Where’s Pato?

He's been in London to see a specialist about an injury.

So many fans in the Championship are so similar, “The bloke next to me screaming what’s all this playing out from the back hoof it down the channels”

Yes, kudos to Benda, he made two great close range saves and was very sound overall. So great not to see Fisher's non attempts to save when the ball gets within five metres of him.
A word of praise for the ref too, not just for not giving the 'penalty' at the end. I thought was very calm and fair throughout, talked to the captains instead of flashing cards too soon and was generally in charge at all times.

What a bizarre game. From the start it just wasn't going to the plan for the stattos.
Watford were playing poor balls and losing possession and we seemed to be killing them. I wasn't sure if it was because they were awful or we were making them look bad. Of course, we are Swansea City so let's give them a goal. For that minute everybody in defence bar the keeper seemed to have fallen asleep. Strangely, I felt confident that it wasn't going to matter - no idea why!
We upped the cause in the second half and bang what a pearler. We seemed to resort to our suicide football at the back a couple of times as the half progressed and nearly got caught out. The amount of injuries during the game was strange and showed the determination of the team in that they were fighting for the ball and as time ticked away, even though we seemed to be on top, just didn't know what was going to happen.
The debacle with the headsets has to be investigated but as it turned out it worked in our favour. Piroe missed what his bread and butter and Cabango rose like a phoenix to smash that ball in to the net with his head. We did the sensible thing at the end and played to the corner but manged to get 4 yellows in the last 5 minutes. Think the ref wasted more time than us. I actually thought it was harsh because it just didn't seem like time wasting.
Then the drama right at the end. What the actual fluff was going on. The ball was all over the place and the Watford players screaming for a penalty and ref waved it away but then went and spoke to the lino who hadn't signalled anything. It just didn't make sense but the nerves took a battering.
All's well that ends well and 3 points and what a week. An excellent team performance with some grit thrown in. Stand out performers? Probably Manning Cabango and Ntcham and our keeper has to be given a pat on the back for being there when in mattered.
Hopefully the momentum is building along with confidence and the tweak in style sees us with the most points in the Championship over the last five games.
We did seem to resort to our suicide

It'll finish 2-1. I don't know which way around, but the score will definitely be 2-1 to someone.

Forgot I posted this. Don't know what it is with Watford and 2-1 results.

A bonkers game in a bonkers division. Bonkers.

Amazing game and support last night. God I've missed that feeling.

Doesn't really matter now, but Wood's yellow was completely deserved because he pulled back their player who had beaten him, but I think it was Lati who got a yellow for not taking a throw-in within five seconds of the ball going out, which was utterly ridiculous.

If wed employed those type o tactics against Stoke/Sheff Utd n Millwall wed be sitting 3rd in the table.
Still....hope we have learnt.
