There is not one person in the ground who would have missed his chance ffs.
Ok maybe O’Hare would have but that’s it

Saw the last 15 mins. Looked good to be fair.
Don't really understand the Allen criticism. He's not Maradona but equally, he's a good, busy player with good commitment and work rate. A bit like a Milner-light.

Fantastic effort. Eccles really stuck at it (even though you can see Sarr can skin him from a standing start) Burroughs been very solid. We've played well (even if we end up losing) Gyo should have fed Jamie Allen in for that shot he had blocked.

It does. Three or four times that half alone he’s slowed down our play or just run into nothing and lost the ball. For a counter attacking side that’s criminal.
Who's the alternative?

Well that was pleasantly surprising. Very good half where we’ve held our own. Going forward on the break we’ve caused them a lot of problems and not shied away from going to to toe with Watford.
Big ask to maintain that level of performance for 90 minutes but if we can get the first goal, then who knows? COH to come on for Allen on 60, along with Kane for Eccles. He’s been good in parts but is (not surprisingly) being outpaced on the counter by Sarr every time. Burroughs can be proud of that first 45 too, extremely encouraging.

Allen has been ok today, I expect O'Hare to come on for Palmer with 20 to go.

Fair play if he is, I’d be nowhere near this forum if my son was a player.

Because they have lots of energy, and vitamin C and roughage, not to mention they count as one of your 5 a day!

Agree - he's helped link the play up and made a great run where Gyok should have played him in for an almost certain goal imo.
Good game. We've been really good on counter mainly through Vik who could've had a couple. We need to be careful not to get broken on ourselves as that's when they look most dangerous with their pace. Burroughs doing really well but Eccles struggling against Sarr as most would tbf

Are there many fat stone Island baldies in the ground that would have made the run for that chance?

Apart from getting forwards, being our main pressing player and covering eccles every time they come down our right he doesn’t offer anything.

Still not forgiven Peter Bonnetti for the Germany game in 1970?
Ultimately O’Hare, but he’s the only player in the squad to have played every game so let’s not pretend he’s there because of injuries.
Well it is really though, isn't it? He's our primary backup for all four midfield positions in our current formation and we haven't had our first choice box midfielders fit/available at the same time all season.

I'd give my views on the first half but I've been listening on the radio so have little idea what's actually happened
Basically they’ve had all the ball and we’ve had the best chances on the break. They’re clearly a level above us (as you’d expect for the price of their squad) but it’s been a decent well drilled performance with some good counters.
If Watford don’t score second half I’ll get Jamie Allen tattooed on my knob though (last one I promise).

But Allen had the presence of mind to be in the right place at the right time. Not all players can do that

Peter Bonetti died in 2020, so I have no idea why you would.
