They had 10 men and waltzed through our midfield at will. It was embarrassing.

We're not going to smash teams off the pitch all of the time. A bit of complacency set in, that's all. We still won comfortably in the end and we're 4pts clear, still unbeaten. Cheer up pal.
Because we were 3-0 up FFS!
They had to work extremely hard to a 3-1 loss. We barely broke sweat.
Not great today but oh well.
We will play better than that and lose this season. WE WILL LOSE THIS SEASON.

We could have scored 4/5 if Mason-Clark and Milan had composure in the first half.
Sat in the car waiting to get out. 3 points, 2 more added to GD so all in all happy days.
Some nice football but Watford had too many decent chances for my liking.
Missed Torp which is weird to say as we won 3-1 and Allen scored.
Fair play to the Watford fans. Seemed in decent voice from the other end of the ground.

As stupid as MVEs booking was, I also think it could be a blessing in disguise. Would rather him miss Wrexham, than play and get booked and miss the blunts. Glass half full look at it maybe?

Deffo missed Torp and although Allen did quite well we definitely needed some steel in there. Eccles should have come in to do that but ended up playing at the top of the mid triangle. Surely against 10 men Eccles goes deep with Grimes and Allen forward, no?
Why give them the chance?
They had multiple chances, only had to convert 1 and we would’ve been absolutely on the ropes at 3-2.
I appreciate the effort, I was wondering if I draw would be better. If I don't have to hope one of them wins, its definitely better
Sweating on the Torp news
If we play like that in the Prem we get our arse handed to us - Back 4 need some serious work at Ryton this week
But take the 3 today and bragging rights over Watford colleague

And we could have been 4 nil up if Haji wasn't hacked down. Ifs and buts.
The reason Watford didn't scored those goals is because we have a very decent goalkeeper.
I might be clutching at straws but a win for Wrexham would mean they’d have won 2 on the bounce coming into our match…I appreciate the effort, I was wondering if I draw would be better. If I don't have to hope one of them wins, its definitely better
They are where we were last season. They have some decent players and a manager that will get them competitive around the playoffs.
Another 3 points, but that second half showing was pathetic
You have thought we had 10 men. Saw some cracks beginning to show which i know is mad to say after a 3 1 win

Eccles and Allen aren’t top level championship midfielders really are they? That said BTA looked less like a striker playing 10 and more like a 10 today.
Really need reinforcements in Jan. Out wide too because again EMC had a nothing game. He needs a spell out the team IMO.

It feels a bit like last year's run of 9 out of 10. Some of those games we could easily have lost and we didn't play well in all of them. Sometimes it just goes like that.
6 wins on the bounce, averaging 3 goals a game, won the most games in the league with only Middlesbro being able to equal that with a win this afternoon. It doesn't feel flat to me at all.
Embarrassing?! Christ, we won 3-1.
They only scores from a penalty.
Just read the last few pages. Surprised by such negativity (or am I?!). 2nd half wasn't great but we've had 3 games in a week, taken 9 points all despite not playing amazing.
It's fine to have bad performances now and then.
We're still winning.
Certainly anything but embarrassing today.
BTA in that 8/10 role pressing and intercepting is one of the main reasons for our form.
What a weird day we win 3-1 and still concerned about the performance 
Think the fatigue hit us in the second half and we just got sloppy. Still top of the league and Rushworth bar the pen showing why we bid 5.5 million on him

Just conceded a bit of control with him there but he was better at coming deeper and linking play today IMO.
Wasn’t fit enough to start, and only managed 20 minutes today. Sure if he were fit enough he starts, the midfield was badly overworked
Watford also had 3 games in a week and played more recently than us…
The main issue is our midfield. We aren’t going to keep winning with a 2 man midfield of Grimes and Allen.
