Yet it's only 0-0.

And yet we won the game.

[Tom]

A stonking and unexpected win, enjoy the winnings @Mercer

felt a loss today would start building pressure 

[Ferrit]

Big win that, surprisingly tight at the back.

[neophox]

Important and composed away win. Never in doubt.

[Wing Wizard Windy Miller]

Saw that out really well.  Like the look of Gudjonsen

Jesus Fucking Christ Wharton! Nice rundown by Toth.

He has that in him every game - he got absolutely done by a touch before that pass too. 

Loved his brother, but I think Scott is a liability. 

[Andy]

Tell you something, that's a good win.

Carter and Wharton were excellent today - we've missed that combination of aggression and quality on the ball.
Keeping them fit is the challenge, of course.

Having a proper GK behind them makes all the difference as well.

Pleased to see Morishita score on his full debut and impressed with Gudjohnsen's cameo also.

[yankfan]

Good win. Watford are poor but so is much of the championship. Still think the squad is thin but the first 15 or so look good enough for this level.

Phew! 

[StHelensRover]

Much better performance than I expected. Mainly because I expected much more from Watford, Toth had nowt to do. Having said that, you can only beat what is in front of you though and we did. Very impressed with Gudjohnsen. Weekend made there. COYB

I like the look of Miller too - think he'll be our starting CB before long. 

[neophox]

Cantwell had a good game

[OsloRover]

Fantastic result and performance. Only one of those teams will be fighting relegation and it’s not us.

[bigbrandjohn]

Make no mistake that is an awesome win. Glad to see the new blood contributing to the win.

Cracking result, and fully deserved, if not by a few more goals even.

I thought Wharton was superb, I’d love nothing more than him and Carter to stay fit and form a great partnership.

Hopefully Tronstad isn’t out for long. Nice to see Ismael over with the fans giving it the big one. 

[DutchRover]

Excellent win, very solid though Watford were not particularly impressive.

Great goal for Morishita, lovely assist by Ohashi. Gudjohnson did look useful once on but want to see more before I judge.

Defence was very good, especially Alebiosu and Wharton. Toth solid.

Tavares needs some time to adapt still, and I think he needs a more energetic partner than Tronstad. With them I think it should be either or not both, so for now Tronny and then Tavares when we inevitably let Tron go.

[rovers11]

Excellent win. The new boys - Mori and Gudjohnsen - impressed massively. Look a step up from what we already have.

Carter and Wharton rock solid. 

Downsides were Tavares and the huge gamble of taking Tronstad off when we're protecting a lead.

[neophox]

Did we miss Hyam today.

No

Travis 

Naah maybe.

Think we are a midfielder short. When is Baradji back?

 

[Bronzed A Donis]

Ecstatic

I must have watched a different game then. Wharton mom easily today.

[Polky]

We’ll take that! 😀

He's going to struggle to find a more energetic partner than Tronstad. Sondre absolutely put us on top in that game - he dominated the centre of the pitch.

To be fair I have no issue with the players we have at CB in terms of ability, Wharton and Carter have proven themselves solid in the past. The issue is they're both made of glass and the chances of them both being everpresent this season are slim to none.

[booth]

We weren't great but the better team won. Ryo deserved the goal for his stunning effort that rocked the woodwork.

We look so lightweight upfront and Tavares seems to get worse every game.

Gudjohnson looked good but I'd be happy if I didn't see Kargbo play another game for Rovers.
