Watford at home match thread

[Jerseybean]

Well deserved point, played well overall, we were, on balance, the better team, just couldn’t score, Max had a very quiet afternoon. Well played City.

[Bris Red]

Decent performance. Another game we should have one though. How we have only got 1 point from that and the Sheffield United game is a mystery.

Or smash one in the top corner.....you never can tell 

Full time I was half right, ran around without really getting stuck in. Understandable though.

[And Its Smith]

Very good performance from city. Easily the better side. Watford had one shot all match.  Vyner, Pring and James superb but nobody was poor.  Fair play Nige 

[EstoniaTallinnRed]

Well done boy's, deserved more,  shame we couldn't finish Watford off, but hey, we are not in the relegation zone. see you all after the World Cup.

[cityexile]

Last 4 league games we have against Swansea, Sheff Utd, Boro and today conceded 1-1-1-0. Got a reaction today and deserved to win.

Suddenly the issue is scoring goals. Created enough in most of those matches to pick up more than 3 points. Not actually looking like a bottom three side and NP did get a reaction. Just need to score some goals is all.

[Loderingo]

Decent performance.  OK result considering the injuries.  Need to get our players fit and firing over the break - particularly Naismith

The overall result will be a big positive. 

I think we've controlled the game well and nullified Watford's attack. 

But we need to do more to turn these types of games into wins. That will be the difference at the end of the season. 

I don't think we've been a threat today. 

Conway just wide, Weimann header and two penalties.  You see what you want though 

[Super]

Really good effort should have won really but will take that well done all.

[David Brent]

Good effort my manager 

[petehinton]

That should stop some of the bed wetting. Very good performance, good performance and shows the players are very much battling for Pearson 

[Lanterne Rouge]

And Hull let in a late one so we`re up to 18th!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[Malago]

Decent performance.  Tommy has to bury that when clean thru.  You can’t win if you don’t score.  Simples.

Did you get bored typing your username as well? 

Just wondering why you just put a second 'n' instead of 'tive'.

Thoughts are with the Pearson-outers at this difficult time 

[Lanterne Rouge]

Fleetwood equalise in the 99th minute

Oh the irony!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[David Brent]

We’ll go again on December 10th.

By which point, England will have been knocked out in the group stages. 

Bye for now all  

[Dan Robin]

That penalty would have probably made us win but...that's how things go for us. 

That being said, I'd have taken a draw before the game, the performance was positive so...well done, lads!

Got to agree with this, we've been a threat.
Weimanns header would have been in the net most games but a great save denied him, two penalty shouts, one of which is always a penalty, you cannot raise your foot that high in this game, I just don't understand our curse with penalties and then as you said the Conway chance that was very unlucky and a hard finish to take with two big defenders closing down on him.

All in all the performance was great today, the lack of goals is frustrating but it does make me question Conway coming off for Semenyo, I would have taken Wells off if anyone as Conway looks more likely to get something from nothing.

Hope so, I've put a few quid on at 8/1. I believe Southgate has stayed on too long and we are about to see the result.

What change would you have made then? Have to do something! Martin??

I wouldn’t have changed anything, perhaps Massengo for Williams, but certainly not the top 2.

Semenyo has offered little all season, not a patch on the marauding player he was last year.

Is anybody genuinely happy with this? 

All I'm seeing is two teams that are lacking any real quality. 

We may have had more possession, but I don't feel as though we have done much with it. 

Watford haven't turned up today. 

Why didn’t Watford turn up today and why didn’t Sheffield United turn up,are you for real or just not willing to give city any credit 

[Gazred]

Very spirited performance, shane its not 3 but take a point against a side that should be up there.

Better execution in the final third and i think we would of been comfortable winners today.

Good effort, hapoy to clap them off.

[cidercity1987]

Maybe someone in the club would like to spend an hour or two over the next few weeks compiling highlights of our penalty shouts over the last year. Unbelievable that none have been given

That's the third awkward hoof from Pring today, the lad needs to keep his nerves calm

Just watch Williams for panicking, Pring is nowhere near him.

Lets hope he shines in the WC and a prem team is willing to give us £15m for him in January.

So two chances then...

If your happy with what you saw then great. 

My opinion is that we have to find a way to turn these matches into wins or we may be in trouble at the end of the season. 

Watford didn't turn up at all today. It was an opportunity we didn't take, as has been the story on a couple of occasions previously.

The draw can be seen as a positive, especially following on from some poor form.

I'd just like to see us throw the kitchen sink at teams to try and get the win.
