    Has 8 touches before he even thinks about passing in the last couple of matches.

    I do, but our RWB has not been in the right position, Gyokeres has 2 guys up his arse, nobody else is breaking the lines because we're scared of their pace on the counter attack and so the midfield's passing options are extremely limited and therefore telegraphed.

    And part of the reason we can't string passes together is that 50% of the time Norton Cuffy's starting position is almost on McNally's toes so we have no out ball on that right hand side.

    I'm normally critical of how deep our back line play but today is the highest i've seen us all season and it looks suicidal against a team with this much pace, coupled with a midfield who can;t string 3 passes together.

    Fadz on a yellow after 15 minutes against an attack with this much pace. He's going to have a difficult afternoon now.

    Watford look far better technically even before the goal. First touch and passing way sharper. Norton-Cuffy has spent more time in defensive midfield areas than his own position.

    Ratings v Swansea

    Swansea have a nice calculator on their forum. Would be a nice addition on here too if it still enabled individual ratings and comments.

    Totally understandable but think people are reacting to the league situation rather than the match itself. We played alright today, should have scored a couple and got away with a couple too. We are far too reliant on the same 2 or 3 players to be on top of their game every week to be a top 6 side.

    We weren't great but their keeper probably wins man of the match.

    Rather lose 1-0 going for it now, than play out a draw.

    I can see a decent footballer in Wilson-Esbrand, he's just lacking a bit of cutting edge with his final ball. Norton-Cuffy reminds me more of DaCosta than a PL loanee though.

    That's 3 blatant pull backs that the ref hasn't booked now. You just know we'll get one as soon as we do it.

    And to my earlier point, that just shows what an extra player forward pressing can do to their defence.

    I'd be switching to a box pretty soon rather than the 5-3-1-1. Struggling to press their centre backs at the moment and it's all a bit easy for them to bypass Allen and Gyokeres and get the ball into midfield. Plus we don;t have many options to pass forwards to when we do get the ball.

    Do we need a whole new team in the summer?

    Despite all the rosiness around Wasps & SISU being gone, and the team flirting with the playoffs, this summer's transfer window is still absolutely crucial. If the season tails off now, we lose Gyokeres and Hamer and our new unproven recruitment team don't recruit well, then next season could be...

    We just haven't been able to handle their movement off the ball. Midfield running from deep, forwards dropping into the half space and it's left us completely flat footed.
