Directive to stop time wasting completely forgotten? Absolutely disgraceful by the officials.

Probably was but I can see how with the speed of it and the defender flying in he hasn’t set himself right and it’s just ballooned off him. It happens. Small positive, he got himself in position for the follow up.

I think that’s unfair. If you watch the replay it falls a bit behind him and the keeper is on the floor right in front of him. He’s tried to scoop it over the keeper and put far too much on it somehow. Should have scored really but it was an awkward situation.

Exactly. Half of this forum spent 18 months complaining about Sheaf.

I’ve noticed the same, he seems to favour running to the byline and trying to put a cross in

You don’t think booing the players and slagging them off on social media accusing them of not being professional footballers is helping?

Gutting. One of the few bright sparks so far this season.

Now this is more fair.

It’s definitely worth giving Simms a run but doesn’t mean there aren’t some ridiculous and unwarranted takes on Wright being thrown around.

A few games back it was Simms everyone was concerned about, and general consensus was Wright looked exciting and should be starting instead of Simms. After a couple of poor games he’s written off. Maybe we all calm down a bit?

I was watching on a tablet with a very poor internet connection and missed large chunks of the game, so I can’t really comment on last night, but he has shown some good touches in other games so can clearly control the ball. That said, he seems to be one of those players where when it doesn’t...

I thought the same when the window was still open but everyone kept saying how we’ve got loads of players who can cover there. Issue is they can cover here and there but not for a prolonged period as it’s not their specialist position.

He needs a season and I suspect he might look very good by the end of it.

He was an important part of our counter attacking team last season but we look to be doing something different this year so not sure where he’ll fit in.

And that is a fair point. Stat comparison to O’Hare that someone shared yesterday was interesting. My only gripe is when people moan about him they’re generally complaining about the wrong thing. That said he created some very good chances yesterday so maybe his stats will improve as the...

Listen, there’s a narrative. He can only do 60 mins and doesn’t tackle. Do not get hung up on the fact we are seeing that neither of these things are true with our own eyes.

Yes, absolutely. As I keep saying the midfield were overloaded. Put Hamer in there the situation is slightly better but only slightly and it doesn’t change the fundamentals. People are hung up on the performances of individuals but for me the issue yesterday was more setup and tactics.

Less likely yes because he was so dynamic but it doesn’t change the fundamentals of Watford overloading the midfield and pressing us out of possession.

We did but not enough as Robins acknowledged in his interview. It was odd really you’d think the coaching staff would give the instruction during half time to play long to Wright more. With the Watford front 3 pressing high and two up front it was the time to do it. Instead we largely played it...

Agreed and said as much yesterday. You put Hamer in for Eccles yesterday and it solves very little.
