Fletcher for me. 2 moments of quality in a dire game.

This.

[bradowl]

Fletcher closely followed by Hunt. 

 

Lees and Loovens played better in second half after one or two dodgy moments in first half. 

 

Thought we controlled game for most parts against a poor side though they never gave up trying. 

 

One word for referee.... Diabolical.

Bannan. Very poor first half? What?

 How could anyone watching the game arrive at that conclusion ? 1 great cross. 2 excellent and important tackles. 5 or 6 great forward pases and moved the ball aroynd well in general. We were winning 2 0 at half time.

What more can the guy do?

 

 

Are you for real?

 

Throughout the match, everything went through Bannan.

 

Head and shoulders above everyone else

Asks him if he's for real...and then agrees with him.

Yep. At least we agree. 

[Owling Wolfe]

Unlike most on here I'll take a scrappy 2-0 and hope we play as sh!te as some are professing and win all our remaining games. Anyone would think we'd been watching Barcelona for the last 5 years, obviously no pleasing some posters. FFS gat a life, we're back in the top 6 and 3 points behind dirty Leeds.

Hunt. Played well, good crosses, good defending & disguised blatant fouls in our box!

Could have cost us the points with those two stupid tugs of the shirt in the box. A liability if you ask me, much prefer Palmer.

[Emerson Thome]

Know I see how journalists struggle to say anything for some playersL

 

Westwood 8 - dealt with a lot of dangerous crosses

Hunt 6 - could have conceded a penalty for a clumsy push on Wood, but good cross for second goal

Loovens 6.5 - solid enough

Lees 6.5 - solid enough

Reach 6 - good outlet down the left but weak in the air

Wallace 6 - quiet for the most part, although did get an assist

Bannan 7 - good energy and tackling

Jones 6.5 - solid

Hooper 5.5 - largely anonymous, not suited to midfield role

Fletcher 8.5 - first goal was clearly offside, but gave us a much needed cutting edge

Rhodes 6.5 - good link-up play, worked hard and a dangerous cross at the beginning, don't remember him getting any chances

 

Subs

Semedo 6 - a few decent interceptions

Nuhiu 6 - was himself

Winnall 6 - not much time to make an impact

[WatfordOwl]

Local derby, never going to be pretty but we won and a clean sheet to boot.

 

Fletcher dominated their back line and made a real nuisance of himself - can also see why having Hooper back in the team when we don't have FF's movement aides us big time.

 

I think people are expecting too much from the performances, it's all about winning at this stage of the season and god does it look good to be back in the top 6.

 

 

[Mr Mercury]

Fletcher 100%. 

[19owl08]

Fletcher... not just for the goals but his all round game. Put himself about, won a fair bit & put the defence under pressure.

 

Bannan & Hunt had good games too. 

 

Becoming a bit worried with Rhodes though. I know he's mainly there for scoring goals but no matter who his partner is, they always seem to get nearer a ball in than he does. He also contributes little in terms of winning the ball or holding the ball up.

100% agree.

[Guest BULGARIA]

bannan for me, was everywhere. Yes he has his limitations but everything we do goes through him. Reach also had a good game.

 

The performance was very poor though. We just dont seem to click what so ever.

We got overran first half - we were second best and very fortunate to be 2 up. Did you see the amount of times we made Tom Lees play a forward ball after the midfield just offloaded it and disappeared? I agree that he did a few things well. I am a Bannan fan and I think he has a great brain, but for me we were poor in the middle until the second half where me and you could have sat in there.  

[james o connor]

Bannan was better, sure as hell wasnt 'great'. He isn't good enough long term but even I have to concede at the moment he's all we have

Christ Alive...

 

Some people..

 

Involved in both goals but yet "largely anonymous"

 

What absolute and utter utter nonsense

 

[BenitoCarbone]

Westwood 7 - did his job

Hunt 7 - Thought he was positive going forward and clever backwards. Got to stop wwith that shirtpulling tho.

Loovens 6 - Mostly solid, but a bit slow

Lees 7 - solid enough

Reach 7 - good energy, always available,  a bit messy though

Wallace 7 - Clever footballer, some smart involvments, but went missing.

Bannan 7 - Our best passer

Jones 6 - OK, but a bit slow sometimes

Hooper 6 - Decent comeback, involved in both goals

Fletcher 8 - Great finishes, worked hard

Rhodes 6 - unsual role for him, hard work and no chances

 

Semedo - Love the guy to bits, and did all right to be fair, but he does make Jones look quick and composed

Dave - Walking free kick

Winnall - Not enough time to make an impact
