Can't fault the effort but technically not very good at all. Watford were there for the taking, they've only won once in their last 6 away so let's not make them out to be world beaters. Don’t think I’d say Watford were there for the taking, they’re much better than that. Thought we kept a possession based team largely in front of us tonight. If we finish above Watford come season end we won’t be far away from the promotion end of the table Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wendyredredrobin Posted November 25, 2020 Report Share Posted November 25, 2020 I felt we played better tonight than we did in the previous 3 games we won. It's a funny old game. Would have been happy with a point at the start, but we had the chances to win it tonight, though we were really running out of steam at the end. Antoine is getting better every game. Hope in injury won't sideline him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably the best keeper to play at this level. We had 9 players out injured and still played really well. On another day we win that game 2-0. Dunno what you’re expecting pal It’s unreal. This is the most positive start to a season since 07/8. Seriously what do people expect? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We closed down well In front of a home crowd groaning at any errors I reckon we lose that game. Watford have been poor in front of Goal all season, in many ways they have been a mirror image of ourselves, no surprise in this 0..0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did Sky explain Watford failing to win? Probably because of the players they had missing with covid, which only affects ex Premier league teams.

redsquirrel Posted November 25, 2020 Report Share Posted November 25, 2020 if that match had been early in the season,game 1,2, or 3, and we heard no baker or kalas, i think a lot would have had us down for a heavy defeat. vyner and moore done good but vyner has surprised me this season showing to have learned a bit more.i thought he was going to be the weaker of the 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not all down to Bentley. As mentioned in other posts, while TM has a few scary moments he does seem able to anticipate danger by his reading of the game. We do seem pretty well organised and the midfield and defence keep their shape well and work very hard over 90 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ROSEBUD RED Posted November 25, 2020 Report Share Posted November 25, 2020 It’s a good point, given our injuries, covid etc and against a team that will be right up there.

Rebounder Posted November 25, 2020 Report Share Posted November 25, 2020 Good point. First half was boring but held out Watford. Second half we were better and both teams more stretched. Could have snatched it at the end, but a draw was a fair result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garland-sweden Posted November 25, 2020 Report Share Posted November 25, 2020 Well done City! Good second half and with a little luck we had take 3 points. Vyner I like, he knows how to defend. Blocks, tackles and keep it simple. He is better and better. 3 clean sheets in a row shows we are hard to beat and what a save Bentley made in the second half. Wish COD could have an assist or score, it would be good for his confidence. Something is missing in his play. We showed second half that we can play well and that is promising. COD!!!

old_eastender Posted November 25, 2020 Report Share Posted November 25, 2020 13 minutes ago, JonDolman said: Good performance. Watford had one great chance first half. We also had one great chance but they dominated possession. We were poor in possession, maybe we weren't pushing up enough to support our forwards. Not sure, but certainly looked more on the front foot 2nd half and we were the better side in that 2nd half. Bentley superb again, one great save, but his ability on crosses so much better. Makes the right decision every time so far this season it seems. Dasilva superb. Just the same as most games really. Vyner very good, best of the back 3. Nagy good first half, very impressive 2nd half. He was on the front foot from that holding role and seemed to cut out balls or just be in the right place to stop them on the break and so often gives a nice quick tidy pass to get us going again. Loved it when he won a tackle on the edge of our own box and then dribbled past a player. Quality. O'Dowda and Paterson both worked so hard. Paterson a bit more creativity as we expect, moments of real quality. O'Dowda action packed winning free kicks, winning balls, picking up looses balls and part of a very good team performance in that 2nd half. Also both Pato and Callum put in very good corners compared to Watford. We don't have much in there to aim at, but get a great ball in and it will cause teams problems, even if we don't have huge guys in there. Rowe and Moore great chances at the end there, just get a good connection and very good chance of a goal. Semenyo absolute quality second half. What a threat he is, so unlucky not to assist Fam and that chance was unlucky too and what I like is he can make his own chances. I liked seeing him drift wide left and link with Dasilva 2nd half. The work he got through was amazing to see. Near the end he had a chance to get onto a mix up at the back from Watford and you could see he had nothing left. Fam much more effective 2nd half. Legs went like they do, thought he should have come off a little bit earlier than he did. But not bad having Wells and Martin to come! Against a top side, we probably had the more good chances overall, though they did have 2 great chances themselves. Happy with a point. 3 clean sheets in a row. Fantastic. Agree with most of your points. COD typically wasteful after doing good little carries but agree worked hard. Fam defo should have come off earlier and he should of got on the end of that Semenyo cross even though their keeper slightly diverted it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerseybean Posted November 25, 2020 Report Share Posted November 25, 2020 All things considered that was a decent point. Third consecutive clean sheet is evidence of a well organised/drilled team. Thought a draw was a fair reflection of the game overall, although either side might just have nicked it. Mindful of the number of quality players that are currently unavailable, once they are all fit we will have some team. A solid, disciplined, team performance. Well played BCFC.

Can we find out from Pep what he did to turn Raheem Sterling into a decent finisher. Antoine could be something very special if he develops that composure in front of goal.
