v Watford (a) - 13/9/25

Promising stuff from Gudjohnson in his first few minutes 

[joey_big_nose]

My definite feeling is apart from Travis we have adequately replaced/backfilled the players we have lost.

Need half a dozen more games to really know, but feeling quite positive.

Not sure that was definitely a penalty for Gudjohnsen, I'd be really annoyed if that was given at the other end.

I'd be annoyed that two of our players sandwiched an attacker off the ball.

Pretty amazing that 3 players came off and not one of them was Tavares...

Yes strange... Tronstad off

Already holding the ball up better than Ohashi. 

Makes a world of difference when your #9 poses a threat. 

[roverandout]

Gudjonson already looks light years better than anything we have up front

[davulsukur]

Proper weird sub, leaving Tavares on and taking Tronstad off.

Fucking hell Vi

[joey_big_nose]

Hmmm Tronstads been great... How has he come off and Tavares is on???

[neophox]

How on earth we take off trondstad is beyond me...lose points now it's all on Ismael

[doctorryan]

Trons INSTEAD of Tavares......You're kidding.

[moerpho]

Trondstad off for Gardner-Hickman on…oh my…

[roverandout]

Is chaddy commentating for rovers?

[neophox]

Should be Tavares off

[Tugay-is-God]

Trondstad off with a knock by the sounds of things.

Unless he's protecting Tronstad  (we genuinely ran him into the ground last season) it's a strange one. 

[Exiled in Toronto Mk2]

Trondstad signalled he needed to come off

Commentator said Tronstad signaled to the bench 

[StHelensRover]

81 mins in, we've been the better side, looked solid, created the most chances. Cannot complain about this.

Watford look absolutely dreadful, I'm surprised the home fans sound so calm and relaxed.

[moerpho]

Alebiosu has been really good

[DutchRover]

I think the hype for Gudjohnson after two touches, and the hate for Tavares are both a little over the top.

With the latter, I think his languid style makes it look like he's doing less than he actually is. Positionally he has been good, and technically he is an exceptional passer, just needs to adapt to speed of Championship like Tronstad did before.

Oh bollocks, we can't afford to lose him.

Can’t afford to have him out long term. 

[booth]

Kargbo, ffs.

[davulsukur]

In other news, Weimann has scored for Derby.

[yankfan]

Kargbo bad touch gives it away at the top of the box, then rides Ba into the box…lucky it’s not a penalty since he fouls Ba both in and out of the box
