We could have been a goal up early doors, and created A few more very decent chances.

Negatives
We lack the zing in midfield to break down well organised defences such as Watford
Despite our attempts to play passing football, it was predominately between Parish and the back 4 and a lot of long ball stuff to JET and Baldock.
Joe Bryan needs to gain the confidence to run at defenders more.
Finally Baldock got alot of (unfair) stick tonight - he had a 1 on 1 saved (just look at how many their no.11 missed) and he gets the ball lumped up in the air at him despite being near enough the shortest man on the field most weeks. Him and JET don't work as a partnership.
And as for JET - clearly head and shoulders the best player on show tonight from a technical viewpoint.... He gets about a 1/10 for
effort. I lost count of the number of times he allowed a Watford player to ghost past him and carry the ball into the midfield. It is clear
those touches and the quality goals he can produce will go a long way to keeping us in League 1 but really think SC needs to think whether he is going to provide the quality of player to work around JET's technical excellence or pick two strikers who can play together and move him to the wing.
