Do we think all other teams are going to roll over for us? Watford have some good players and we won while missing a couple of key players of our own.
The mood in this thread is weird to me tbh.

I suppose Lampard was going mad on the touchline because he was happy with how it was going?
I was concerned at 2 nil for sure, but as soon as that 3rd went in, it was pretty much game over and when the red card was produced, I knew that was it.I’m trying to tell myself that
At 2-0 I was concerned about our defending rather than enjoying two early goals and a keeping master class
Your cousin does not exist!I like that lampard pretty much said the fans should stop taking it for granted
Some of the posts on here have been pathetic. Even my famous cousin came home talked about how the second half was shit rather than focus on the win and being 3 up by half time
I have said if in previous season and it's still true. If you spend a successful season moaning just to celebrate at the end you really fucked up. Enjoy it now
Spot on, doesn't matter how we did it or if the atmosphere was a bit flat, we beat a decent side 3-1, more or less game over after 6 mins, guessing we still haven’t played a good side thoughThe second half yesterday was like an attack v defence training session,ok they got away on the break, but did anyone think the bloke was going to score?? Rushworth closed him down, but looking at the replay didn't seem to catch him, he jumped and left a trailing leg so the ref had a decision to make, ( one of many dodgy ones )
They were very pacy at time, but pace is wasted if you can't score at the end of it!!!
I never felt they were getting back into it even after the penalty.
I’ve don’t think I’ve seen many teams as free flowing with the end result of goals as us. Maybe Man City when they went up?Totally agree, we went 2 up and almost lost the idea of how to play. 3 up and a man sent off and we lost the will of how to play. We're almost too good at scoring goals
I agree, there were large parts of the second half where we were just passing it around snd they couldn't get the ball off us as we moved the line up and back again.Once again, we were not overrun second half. Quite the opposite. People just remember the last 10 mins.

We looked very vulnerable to the long ball over the top of our defence against a couple of quick lads. It was something I thought Lampard would address for the second half but strangely didn't.

No but he comes back to my house after every game so we can play Pro Evo!" even my famous cousin came home" so your cousins living with you then.
I don't want us to lose a game this season but look forward to the meltdown on here considering we will most probably be top of the table still.As and when we lose a game some people really won’t be able to cope.
King has put a stop to it ,.nothing to do with LampardTorp ACL rumours being bollocks is not only welcome, but shows what a tight and professional ship Lampard is now running
Do not want it to be a slight at MR whatsoever, he will always be a legend - but the amount of stuff that used to come into public domain before being announced by the club, injuries/team news/player departures etc. was unprofessional for a club with ambitions of getting into the Premier League - Lampard seems to have put a stop to it
They were dangerous on the break yesterday and their pace will hurt some teams this year, along with their no.10 who I thought was class, and am sure Frank was having a good chat with him at full time. We didn’t defend brilliantly yesterday but Frank and his staff will watch the game on playback to analyse it and every game we learn something new as teams set up differently.
Enjoy the ride, enjoy every game, enjoy the fantastic set up and long live £3.60

Did you not go to the QPR game?Attacking wise they look top half, defensively they are the worst we've seen all year.
Tbf despite the scoreline we only had an xG of 1.27 against QPR.Did you not go to the QPR game?
I take it you didn't. Watford were even worse.Did you not go to the QPR game?
Your honour I rest my caseTbf despite the scoreline we only had an xG of 1.27 against QPR.
I take it you didn't. Watford were even worse.
How do you get targeted JDS out of that game? Sure the pen came down that side, but most of their chances and attacks came down the right.I understand people's concerns with today's performance. It was a very odd kind of game. But lets keep it sensible. Watford had a few very good opportunities, but failed to put them away. That apart, I don't recall many 'raids' on our goal?
That's not withstanding a bit of a lacklustre second half from us. Could have been so different had we not had a great start in the first 10 minutes.
Watford made it all too easy getting in behind us. They targeted DeSilva with plenty of success. But I think this is about us being too easy to penetrate. We can't always be 100% and will need some luck when not at our best. Not sure Wolfenden was comfortable. Torp is a miss of course. We have done well without Rudoni but I think we need him back asap as the likes of Eccles are the weaker links. Lets hope we reflect well and re-charge before the next one. Not at our best last couple of games, refresh and pick up the form on Friday.
Given they were 2-0 down after 10 minutes perhaps they should have beenInteresting Portsmouth were scared of us Watford not so much
Agreed. Wasn't like Swansea when we were 3 up at home or Man U where we were 3 down.Just because a teams good doesn’t make us atrocious though does it.
if we lost to 10 men being 3-0 up, id be with you. But we didn’t. We won playing poorly with a makeshift midfield in the absence of two of our best players.
we move on.
First season after relegation from the top flight, we lost 20 games. 20. And still should have made the playoffs with 5 games left.Thing is as soon as we lose one game your gonna have twats saying oooh this has been coming. Were not playing well. Papering over cracks etc
