Tidy for 30 minutes or so, then we gave away the ball stupidly too many times; midfield's passing was not bad, a few sparks going forward, decent overall.
Cornick our best player so far, McCrorie not enough concentrated, Williams too nervous.
Optimistic answer: inconsistency.
Pessimistic answer: Saints, West Ham & co. having a bad day allowed us to perform better than our poor standard.
Then the tactical aspects (see Scrumpys message) are also to be considered.
Not surprising but still disappointing. We can appear strong in some matches but the squad has too many weak points to challenge for a playoff spot.
With less iniuries in some moments of the season and a tactical plan B for some games, who knows...
In the second half we grew a lot on the attacking side of play, without losing shape in midfield and defence. Dickie's goal killed their confidence and our pressure made it difficult for them to regain control : shame about the penalty, but it didn't affect the result so no problem.
One of the best aspects? The performance of the reserves (Roberts + the subs).
Positive first half: tidy at the back, good movement and passing, chances... but once again our decision making and accuracy in the final third means no goals.
They grew in the second half and the game was even: glad we didn't concede in the last minutes. Good refereeing.
Hard task to win the replay, but never say never.
Satisfied with City's performance so far: we pushed for the goal more than them and defended well, even if thet were really dangerous in two occasions.
Overall a poor game: Watford had some moments of quality/good attacking threat (mostly in the first half), we had our best spell towards the end of the game. I'd say they played better but the draw is fair.
Positive debut for Twine.
