We got pressed and made wrong decisions more times than not, it will happen. Thomas is young and Lati inexperienced at LCB, they need time.

We didn't lose and Robins and staff will have more than a week to work with the group on picking better decisions, we will learn a lot from that today and improve. Not many teams will press as fast as they do or be so quick once they they turn it over.

The back 3 are fine, our lack of pressure on the ball is the issue.

They were allowed to basically walk it from back to front for two of the goals when based on evidence their back 3 are less than great under pressure....

Sooner watch that than a 0-0 borefest. Watford have a few talented players. No disgrace in that result. Have a look at the results elsewhere in the division.

They need to learn when to pass it short and when not to, the same with the goalkeeper who makes the wrong decisions so many times in a game

Good learning moment for Thomas today. He’s got all the attributes to be a beast at this level for years.

I still like the tactic of working for every minute of the game, which includes grabbing late goals

Thomas was poor, at fault for all 3 goals imo, completely unwilling to close down the space and looks shit scared whenever anyone runs at him. Needs to be dropped, work on his game and come back stronger. Looked every bit a league one defender today.

Thomas was only at fault for 3rd and final goal.

Lati got beat for their first and for the second goal, we got caught out when McFadz pressed way beyond his position causing Lati and Thomas to collapse in to give Martins the space needed.

A like for like situation happened where two players (Thomas was one of those), the Watford player beat the pressing players with one pass. Had it not been for a heroic Fadz block, we would’ve conceded.

A day to forget for both defences because I felt we cut them up a few times too.

The biggest mistake was trying to pass through their midfield. When we went round or over them their defence was very flaky. It's all very well passing out from the back but there are times when you have togo round or over.

I'd say you've got to hold or give, but do it at the right time. You can be slow or fast, but you must get to the line.

Thomas and Kitching are young players who have never played at this level. A big learning curve.

That and defensively, both teams were vulnerable today and had bad games as a while.

These kind of games just happen, otherwise the defence has been solid.

I said to my lad after about 20 minutes that Thomas needed to come off. Just wasn’t his day. Then the poor back pass and not coming out to the attacker directly resulted in two goals. I’m surprised Robins couldn’t see the issue earlier and swap him out. His performance would’ve knocked his confidence today.

On another point, should the managers sit in the stands so they can get an overview of the game, we could see issues that clearly weren’t addressed. Fadz looked like he was trying to make up for the other two as well as his own position at times.
