I'm just really happy with how many chances we actually created today, we should of had 5!

Fellows absolutely superb today along with Karlan Grant, I've slated Grant in the past for his lack of effecting the game but he was great today. Lankshear worked his knackers off and linked up play well when he wasn't on his backside and should of had 2.

Must start Lankshear or Dike for rest of the season, we're set up to play off a link up man and Armstrong can't do that.

A good start to the game and we grabbed the lead but the rest of the first half belonged to Watford. We couldn't get going in centre mid, Mowatt gave the ball away constantly and we couldn't get Price on the ball. I was glad when the half time whistle came.

Second half was much better. Mowatt improved and Price had a magnificent half, looked real class.

Lankshear made a big difference to us today. He was superb leading the line. Much more effective than Armstrong.

Grant shouldve Squared for Armstrong to make it three which would've been a fairer scoreline. Bartley tried to hold the line then got run off for Watfords goal. It was a terrific finish.

Tom Fellows today could've had four assists. He was absolutely outstanding. His best performance in an Albion shirt.

That was a good win today against a fast powerful Watford side. The lads were brilliant to stand up and compete with them then finally come out on top. It was refreshing to see the changes in the team and it looked more balanced with a target man up front.

Our best 2 wingers and a proper centre forward starting. This should have been the case 3 or 4 games ago, but at least the penny seems to have dropped now, and Tone will hopefully stick with that from here on in.

Better balance today. We always look better with Fellows and MJ on the wings. Presence up top we have lacked since Maja got injured. Lankshear and dike should be rotated through end of season. Price very good. Build the team around him at centre midfield. Might be too little too late but who knows on to the next one
O Albion we love you

Pretty much how I saw it,Price had a great effort in the first half too.
Swap their number 10 for Mowatt and somehow improve Grants decision making and I think we win 5-0

Imran Louza for them is a great player, would love to have him in our side, great eye for a pass.

Him aside though, Watford are not a particularly good side and it was great to see us create so many chances against them thanks to Fellows, who has been criminally underused under this manager, having an absolute blinder.

Ultimately, we have two very good wingers at this level, if we hope to achieve anything they have to play week in week out.

Lankshear played well as the focal point, but you can’t be missing that second half chance that he did, that just has to go in.

We roll onto next week and pray that Coventry fail to win in the meantime, such is the position we have left ourselves in

A much better structured performance.

We faded in the first half which owed largely to Watfords physicality.

The second half was much better with all players contributing.

We looked a much better side with Lankshear and his presence as a focal point.

The team looked a lot more balanced when the managers favourites were not blindly selected, in short. Said that more than once this season, under both managers.

Fellows best performance for a long while. Maybe being left out has given him a bit of a breather which benefitted him . He had been looking tired and leggy. We just have to hope there’s enough time left for it to be significant

I think it's his best performance for us. He was sensational yesterday. It's not his fault he didn't get four assists in one game.
