Good play between Simms, Wright and Palmer

Great ball from Kelly to start that move. Not sure the flick from Palmer was the right thing to do at the end but at least we finished the half on top.

Their commentators literally laughed saying it isn't a half of football unless he's thrown himself to the ground.... What an embarrassing trait.

Credit where it’s due, superb end to the half. They don’t wanna know when we start getting stuck in.

Why is he blowing for HT when the ball is in the air in the box

Really poor start to the game. Out run for large parts. Much better since the equaliser.

Can't play much worse than that but much more intensity after the goal. Torp looks lost.

Some of you lot are hilarious.

The age of all or nothing.

"Cov are shit. Lats is shit. Kelly is shit. Eccles is league 1. Palmer is useless. Go home Robins. I hate footy"

Pathetic. Larry knows, Watford have come out 200 mph, they're gonna be fucked

The bit that makes me laugh is, MR changes the team and we lose and we get "the Tinkerman strikes again"

Then when we win and keep the same side for the next game, and go a goal behind, he's criticised for keeping the same side.

Looking better at the end, Wright and Simms much more involved.

If Sheaf is capable of playing 45 then he has to come on for Kelly at HT.

I'd be tempted to hook Torp ahead of Kelly, Kelly was involved later on in the half at least

Not quite Otis, it's the tinkering with the defence that people have an issue with while copying the same team irrespective of the opposition just seems a bit naive. Should have been 3 or 4-0 down before getting back into it today.

Kelly a bit behind pace, done well otherwise. Torp completely lost. Eccles very 50/50. Simms doing well.

Get MVE on and put Eccles where Kelly is playing and take Kelly off, not his day today. Possibly palmer for ohare aswell, purely as Kasey is also on a yellow , last thing we need now is to go down to ten men.

After how we started , happy to go inn 1-1

Apart from the first 2 mins and last 5 we’ve been uncomfortable. What’s happened to Torp? He hasn’t played well nor Palmer. Simms looks off it again and Wright up and down. Although Eccles could be at fault for some of their attacks he’s been good in possession. I hope Watford have tired themselves out and we can start to capitalise on some of their defensive frailties.

Really fortunate to be going in 1-1. We've been second best most of the game.

Kelly, Torp and Palmer have been really poor in the midfield.

Simms and Wright are linking up well.


A really disappointing first half.

So what would you do? Personally I'd put Eccles into midfield, VanEwik at RB. Kelly Off. O'Hare and Sheaf ready to come on if it doesn't quickly go our way. The rest staying on need a roasting to get their shit together. Got to be brave at this stage of the season....we came here to win.
I could be tempted to bring O'Hare and Sheaf on at HT with Van Ewik at RB Eccles and Palmer off. Physical sides do not suit Palmer.
It's there to win, if we step up our game. Simples. And we must.

Eccles did well for pen
Need changes as too many players on a yellow and Mardelly a loose cannon

The problem with this is that now it’s 1-1 it’ll probably persuade MR to make no changes to personel or formation at half time, despite us playing shite.

I wouldn’t say we were playing well. A level up from woeful is still bad after all.

Need to start the 2nd half quicker. Too slow and sloppy first half.

I would be tempted, partly due to the yellows, to take off Kelly and Palmer HT and replace with Van Ewijk and O'Hare (Eccles moving to midfield).

They have ripped us apart, but very lucky for us , they ran out of steam & allowed us back into the game .
If only we had their pace & movement , instead of looking & being so pedestrian.
Please Robins change back to the 4 at the back
