Henderson 8 excellent saves, pleased we had a clean sheet Solly 7.5 back to the Solly of old esp 2nd half. Great link up with Wilson Wiggins 7 thought he had a lot of work to do and did it well Bikey 7.5 immense. Ben Haim 7.5 reads the game well. When he clattered into the hoarding the ref came running over and I thought he must have looked like it was going to kick off, but he just picked himself up and ran on. Shows his experience. Gudmudsson 7 Buyens 7.5 worked really hard, faded in 2nd half. Really important player for us I reckon Jackson 7 Cousins 7 not at his best on the left, but made the run for Vetokele to win the pen Vetokele 7.5 won a pen. Kept going even though he was getting clattered Tucdean 6 didn't do that much for me
Moussa 5 didn't add much Wilson 7 good link up with Solly, posed a threat down the right Harriot 6
First time I have seen us in detail, not quite the football masterclass I was expecting, although we knocked it around well for the first 20 or so minutes. Sat deep & soaked up a lot of pressure, Watford were pretty toothless although I was really impressed with Anya in the first half.
Henderson 8.5 MOM Solly 8 Best game yet Wiggins 6.5 Quiet Bikey 8 Dominated Deeny in the air Ben Haim 8 Solid game Gudmudsson 7.5 Quality Buyens 8.5 Immense workrate Jackson 8 Odd lapse otherwise kept the flow Cousins 7 Not everything came off but didn't give up Vetokele 8 Poor service but frightened the defence Tucdean 7 Off the pace but linked up occasionally
Moussa 5 Wilson 7.5 Harriot 6 Church 4 (For Wales performance)
Henderson.9-very strong performance. Took up good positions to make the saves. Solly.8-early mistake then the solly of two seasons ago showed up. Wiggins.7.5 -he getting there, battled away under a lot of pressure. Bikey.8-Old school centre back, if overhead had gone in, grown men would have cried. Ben Haim.8- old school centre back, the hoarding at the covered end is a write off. Gudmudsson.7- doing fine until groin strain at 25 mins Buyens.7.5- great first 30 mins then had a lot of chasing to do. kept at it. Jackson.7-hard game for JJ after first 30. still great skipper. Cousins.7-good run and pass for pen, put in decent shift. don't forget not a wide left player. Vetokele7.5-the real deal but was spent in last 10, great at turning with ball forcing 3 card trick from watford. Tucdean5.5-can't replicate derby first half, we fans must stick with him until reinforcements arrive.
Moussa.6-first three passes good then two shocking moments. play simple balls. BOB not amused. Wilson.7.5- mr reliable. dove tails with solly so well. great runs forward as well. Harriot.6-the best decision was when he ran to corner flag, Brentford hangover still there.
Henderson - 8 Solly - 7 Wiggins - 7 Bikey - 8.5 extra half for tackle in second half keeping up with the attack and getting last ditch tackle in when it looked like he was beaten for pace. Ben Haim - 8 Gudmundsson - 6 Buyens - 7 Jackson - 7 Cousins - 7 Vetokele - 7 Tucudean - 6
Henderson 9 MOM - Was that Peter Shilton in goal? Solly 8 Wiggins 7 Bikey 8 Ben Haim 8.5 - excellent cover play Gudmundsson 7 Buyens 8 - La Regista - The Belgian Pirlo Jackson 7 Cousins 7 Vetokele 8 Tucudean 5
Moussa 5 - What was he doing? Wilson 7 Harriott 5 - see Moussa
Henderson - 9 (terrific saves and a calm presence throughout) Solly 7 (much better second half) Wiggins 6 (seems to have lost a yard of pace) Bikey 8 (immense) Ben Haim 8 (reads the game so well) Gudmudsson 5 (would he be more effective on the right?) Buyens 7 (an all-round midfielder - needs a better central midfield partner) Jackson 5 (Peeters needs to make a big decision here) Cousins 5 (see Jackson above - can't fairly judge him played out of position) Vetokele 7 (always dangerous - a class act) Tucudean 4 (just not good enough in my view - we desperately need a loan striker)
Moussa 6 (always lively but silly mistakes late on) Wilson 8 (provides real width - a player who makes good decisions) Harriot 6 (brought on to stretch play - managed it a couple of times)
Henderson - 8.5 - Couple of great stops, much improved distribution and steady all round in air & on ground. Solly - 7.5 - Some great attacking full back play in 2nd half. Steady in defence. Wiggins - 6.5 - up against decent winger, did OK Bikey - 7.5 - Solid, slightly rode luck (when caught out of position) but some great tackles Ben Haim - 8 - Rock solid. Impressive performance. Gudmudsson - 6 - presence helps sharp passing and team link up play. Buyens - 7.5 - Good midfield performance, and top penalty. Jackson 6 - Lionheart but a bit off the pace. Cousins - 7 - Not a winger but gives good support for left back Vetokele - 7 - Looked a bit cream crakered as the game went on, but his presence always gave the Watford defence something to think about. Tucdean - 6 - a couple of decent link up passes
Moussa - 6 - always looking to play forward, needed some composure. Needs to continue as he started when first on pitch. Will come good. Wilson - 7 - good performance Harriot - 5 - disappointing
Bob Peeters - 8 - Perfectly timed substitutions in 2nd half got the team looking forward which reduced pressure. Crowd - 10 - Great response on 10 mins for the mark of respect for David Whyte. (Also got behind the team at important moments in the game).
