He's done well can't be everywhere..played a massive part playing lone striker in the performance so far. Their defenders arnt enjoying him. O hare finding so much space in between midfield and their defence expect them to cut that out address that 2nd half.
His runs show no intelligence today. It's like he is jogging until o hare is forced to go wide.

As another poster said he needs to be pulling wide and making space. Not just running in a straight line

I agree, he's led the line really well occupied defenders which has created space to O'Hare. The Biamou bashing is ridiculous. Yes, he is limited, but fuck me there is no need for the vitriol he is getting.

He's our third choice striker for a reason. Gyorkeres won't occupy the defenders like Max does. Leave it as it is for now.

H-T not bad at all just as usual just missing the goals. Could be two up, impressed with da Costa again defending well. Just keep going. Don't think they will finish the game with 11 on the field.

Good half that, as people have said, we have missed Godden/Walkers movement and decision making. Need to be wary as Watford should be getting a bollocking at half time.

Like I said he's the only one up top. There is no other support. That's the problem.

I don't think it's lack of effort I think it's lack of awareness.
I like Max and he's a trier but he's not at this level.
We won't be able to majorly overhaul our strike force in the summer if we stay up, hopefully bring in someone better than we've got and move Godden, Walker and Max down the pecking order with Max 4th choice.

100%, he's a trier, can't fault his effort & he can grab a special goal now & then but his all round play is so far off.

Doing well. can't help but think if we had Godden back we are ahead. Two very clear cut opportunities, Hyam and O'Hare's shot (expecting a tackle and penalty) Max not quite on it and lacks pace where maybe Gykeres would do better? Got to get our wing backs into the forward play a bit more, they have neutralised Costa so far. All in all good but we just need to step it up a bit. james holding it together well in front of back three.

I'm trying to type with my left hand as i was a twat earlier and attempted to reheat a cup of coffee in a metalic handled cup, like picking up a nuclear rod. Tight hand is in ice water
Edit - Right

Yeah, yeah. Course you have. We know what you're up to really...

In seriousness, hope it settles down soon and the burn isn't too bad.

Definitely. Max makes the most of what he’s got. Works hard, holds the ball up but he’s not a finisher and will never score the goals we need at this level. Can’t knock him for that though.

Get Viktor on for Max, he’s giving it his all, I know he’s carrying a knock but it’s costing us up top. Leo is having a blinder at the back. Wish Hyam would stop with the lifted left footed hoof as soon as he gets the ball every time.

But I expected it to be a lot worse before the start. Watford are there for the taking 👍

So frustrating because we’ve been excellent so far but you can just see their manager regrouping at half-time, changing things and them getting into the game. Really hope we haven’t missed our chance while we were on top.

Playing some good stuff and not overawed by Watford or panicky after the forest result. Every player contributing...and all giving 100%. It’s easy to say biamou or whoever not good enough...but he wouldn’t be in the squad if all our players fit...that’s the way the season goes.
I know the second half will be difficult but the team has given us a lot to cheer and be positive about so far

We're playing so well but again we are missing so many chances. I'll keep saying it until I'm blue in the face, but it is and has been our biggest problem for eternity.

If they win this 1-0 I'll be sick.

Not buying that. Lone strikers can still try get on end of a counter attack

And I love max as I already said and hope he scores winner. Just want to see him look livelier 2nd half

Loving that first half... the line up is perfect for the team they are playing. Just need that cheeky goal 🤓🤓

This shows that we can be just as good with a lone striker... But we just don't have the quality upfront.

Last season when we went up, it was because a striker like godden was taking his chances at Ipswich, Sunderland, Rotherham, pompey... It makes all the difference and its persistently costing us

Think we're trying more to get their players booked today as well. Good to see us surrounding the ref for once
