It's the pace for me RE Alebiosu - lets him make mistakes and recover. Brittain never got back once he was beaten. His crossing seems pretty good too. Think you definitely need a competent understudy for him though - he gets through so much work he's going to be burned out if you don't sub him a lot.

Rovers the better team

He's a funny one is Cantwell. He wants to be the creator, often drifting out to the left wing. However he's playing at the #10, which means there's nobody in the box - it's really hard to see where the goals are going to come from.

Not a disaster, but realistically not much to choose between two sides offering next to nothing in the final third. Give Yuki another 10-15 minutes then get the Icelandic on and see what he's all about.

Good half going by my expectations ahead of the game. I really like Alebiosu and don’t really miss Brittain to be honest. Thought Carter had an ok half as well all things considered. We need more firepower up top, but this seems to be the situation at most Championship clubs at the moment. Not really sure there will be any goals as this reeks of 0-0, but I guess subs 2nd half will play an important role (as always). Here’s to Gudjohnssen coming on and bagging a couple! COYB!!

Ill take that as no, you just take everything they say at face value. Based on your general posting, its a fair assumption.

Half time should be some goals up...our centrehalfs and moreshitta having the best chances along with Cantwell.

I was under the impression that they always do (and back again), to save on hotel costs

That was a better half than I feared. Watford look quicker but unfocused, rovers are more organised but too many individual errors so far up front

Can’t help but think this is what a match between two relegation contending sides looks like in the first 5 games of the season.

Despite selling all our good players, replacing them with cheap foreign nobodies making us certainties for consecutive relegations to League 2, we had the better of that half.

Wharton & Carter clean through 45; must have been some odds on that.

Right, that's enough Ohashi for one day. Get the lad that scored twice against France on, please.

Riberio disappointing going forward too, attacks seem to stop with him with a bad delivery / pass. I think this game sums up how average the Championship is, these lads look as bad if not worse than us

He strolls around and doesn't tackle well enough.

All these crosses and Gueye and Gudjohnsen are sat on the bench.

Plumbs new depths with every touch.

Tavares is awful

That’s a horrendous miss, best chance of the half

LOL my brain has just thought "Millwall" for 40 minutes.

Scotty gets a shot off…

And conceded one there

De Neve isn’t at the level, looks lost whenever he’s on the pitch.

And then they should have scored.

We need Gudjohnsen to come on and put away these chances. And we are playing way better than I thought we would going into the game.
