Pretty well matched teams for long periods, ultimately a mistake has cost us again.

Shame really
A mistake hasn't costed us, our inability to defend anything has cost us again. Gift teams 2+ goals a game and we're going to end up well adrift at the bottom.

A game we should never had lost. We can't keep shooting ourselves in the foot. The chances biamou had should have settled it long before. On the positive side we competed again and by no means looked second best. So some work to do and injured players to come back. Not frustrated with this performance but we really must defend better over 90 minutes. Must start putting the mistakes right and we will be OK. Did not see anything about Watford to suggest they were that much better than us. We are on the wrong kind of run now and must stop the rot next game.

Hope we’re fining the individual players for these fucking stupid mistakes. Never known a team shoot themselves in the foot so badly and so bloody often. It’s beyond ridiculous.

We could easily have been coming out of those 2 games with 4 points, yet here we are with 0.

Robins much too passive there.

Watford were poor yet have been gifted 3 goals. I'm actually incredulous about the stupidity. Aside from the marking on the second goal the corner itself came from Sheaf being too elaborate and losing possession. O'Hare for the 3rd is just schoolboy stuff.

Once it went to 2-2 we just stuck as we were rather than trying to change the direction of travel. As such it was only a matter of time before the 3rd came.

We're pretty nailed on going down at this rate.

Does 13 more points not sound better to you?

The goals we’re giving away are criminal. We look like we have enough to win games but there’s only so many points we can afford to give away.

Derby won’t be down there for long and Wednesday are nearly level as it is.

Robins and Adi need a serious word about discipline or were going down with a whimper.

Ultimately lifting your arms up to concede a penalty is regarded as a mistake... Which has tilted the game in Watford favour... Hasn't it

I'm not sure what exactly we could have done to win the game with the subs, unless you have an idea
Take mccallum off. Bring Kelly on. Rose at rb, back 4 for last 5. Kelly supporting. Take max or walker off for baka and sheaf for bapaga free role. 5 mins go for it.

Instead an unfit right back on and alllen who's last contribution in this team was March

That's 25% of the season gone. A long way to go still but it's got that feeling that we'll be sitting here in March saying 'if we can just cut these silly mistakes out....'

We won't stay in this division if we continue to hand the opposition 2+ goals per game every single week.

Actually thought that was a fairly encouraging display until they equalised, and then we completely ran out of ideas. Really poor game management from Robins.

We can't keep doing this. Teams that concede easy goals and penalties while missing chances go down.

unused sub AGAIN and brings on a right wing back and cntral midfielder with a minute to go while losing.

On the whole Watford have a good team and we matched then in terms of play, but that counts for nothing. It's goals scored vs goals conceded that decide games.
I agree I would have put on Baka and Bapaga for Biamou and Walker for last 15. Both have pace and unpredictability. Biamou and Walker looked spent by the end.

3 goals again. Criminal
Another pen again. Criminal
No subs until 89th min against a team who were prem last season. Criminal
Biamou missing from 3 yards. Criminal
Biamou taking a fucking free kick in that position when in 3 seasons he's never taken one. Criminal.
Naivety. Criminal
Going 2-1 up then conceding from a fucking corner. Criminal.
Bringing Jamie Allen on. Criminal
Fucking fed up

Robins needs to take some sort of blame for that result today. Game management awful. We were tiring and it was obvious they were targeting certain players. But he waits till the 89th minute when the game is dead. So poor.

There goal scorers cost a combined 50m. Although was another good display and points lost there individual quality got. Them over the line.

Apart from our kamikaze defending and shit finishing we are a match for anyone...

Nah we are out of our league (literally) this is no fun at all, get back to our level

So removing a wing back which gives us 2 extra outlets going forward to replace and add an extra defender was more attacking? Can't say I agree
