Having watched the match last night and read the comments posted both last night and today, I am in awe of the reactions of some of the supporters on this site.
Whilst being completely frustrated for most of the second half by missed opportunities and the fact that even with 10 men on the pitch Watford still manage to beat us, I am gobsmacked by some of the comments put on here 'Amateur', 'Naive', 'Stubborn' to name but a few.
I totally agree that the subs were left a tad late, the ref was a shocker and that there were some mistakes made by our players. What I don't agree with is the somewhat knee-jerk reaction that we are doomed to fail, the Manager is useless and lets just get on the players backs when we're 2-1 down.
I throw my hands up to you all in that I stood and remonstrated when BP tried to wiggle his way round their defence to get the ball in the back of the net when he probably could have done it on his first touch. I am by no means a hypocrit and to say that I was frustrated is an understatement.
However, I feel that our performance far outshone Watford overall as it did on Saturday against Blackburn. We were by far the much better team and I can not name one player that didn't give 100%.
Mistakes will happen and results will not go our way in some games but that is for SCP to reflect on and act on. If we go the season without any of the aforementioned, then yes we are doomed.
Will that happen?? I very much doubt it. As mentioned on another thread, if you thought this league would be a stroll in the park then think again.
Lets move on and concentrate on the next game.

On the night we didn't do much wrong, we just couldn't put the ball in the net!
We need men with cofidence just like fuller as soon as he was one on one with keeper u knew he would score. The team just seemed to lack a bit ,100 % effort yes but not in confiedence. Cp needs to install this in the players.
Yes were better than our points,results,league postion makes us out to be?
Let start making it count
Hoe many people have commented on last nights performance so far in the various threads ? 200 ? 300 ?
You are always going to get different opinions, opposing views and some more extreme than others. That will always be the case. More often than not t will be the majority in the.middle that mainly have it about right, however them views are less likely to provoke a reaction from others.
Isn't that the point of the game or am I missing something?
But theres nothing wrong with trying to disect a performance on an internet forum. opinions will be a lot more drastic the night or day after a game.
sheff utdCharlton will come good.Next few away games coming up might be good for us as the home teams will be expecting 3 points against little old charlton, and I believe we'll pick up some unexpected results
Do think you can be critical without calling for sackings though - surely it is what you do on a forum.
the last two games we have played well, had the majority of the possession and created a few chances. we just didnt take them. i would be more worried if we were being outclassed and being battered every game.
we will be fine. just need to stay calm and the goals (and points) will come. the league is so tight, a couple of wins and we'll climb the table by about 10 poisitions, its ridiculous.
i had no expectations this year. to stay up was all i cared about. im enjoying being in the championship and not the god awful league one.
COYR!!
With the difference that at least this is in the Champ, I suppose.
