[Albion] Watford: One point gained or two points dropped?

[Bozza]

My favouritest poll. Indulge me...

 

[Icy Gull]

Didn’t expect more than a point before kick off, and it was starting to look like we would lose, could have won it but we won a point

I honestly can’t vote. We were terrible & deserved nothing.

They weren’t any better.

Perhaps neither side should have got anything?

Fully agree.

Another decent result, against a team who ‘apparently’ shouldn’t be anywhere near the bottom half - that’s what Dion Dublin said, by rights they should have swept us aside like dry kindling in the face of a hurricane.

I’d say they bought us down to their level, it’s what Pearson does best - they are awful and effectively made the game a slowed down swamp of dross. I blame them.

 

[Reddleman]

How can it possibly be two points dropped, how? We barely had a shot on target we’re losing with 11 minutes to go and then score through a freak own goal.

There is no way this is anything other than a point gained.

 

[BensGrandad]

After our dire 1st half it has to be a point gained

 

[Lower West Stander]

2 dropped.

We have to beat the likes of Watford.

And they will be saying the same about us.

At what point during the match, where we only had 2 shots on target and didn't actually score any goals ourselves, did it look like we'd beat Watford?

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

One point SALVAGED

 

[portslade seagull]

Apart from the last fifteen minutes we were very poor. The midfield to start must be the slowest in the PL. Gross please keep him out.

 

[Weststander]

I’m usually ‘one point gained’.

But not this one, two lost.

Failure to win our last home 6 pointer, Bmuff at home our only PL win in 11 weeks (& 11 games) by the time we visit Bramall Lane.

We’re in trouble.

In terms of the tale of the match itself you’re correct, from the perspective of say half time, one point won.

But in the big picture of today’s implications - we failed to win our ‘easiest’ home game left, that’s one win in eleven now in a 38 game season, we were a shambles for much of the game against a relegation rival. 4 wins are needed, today another opportunity lost.

 

[BBassic]

I can't vote.

Both teams should have lost and left with 0 points.

 

[Napier]

How can we hope to stay up if we cannot beat fellow strugglers at home?

 

[Guinness Boy]

Both teams were lucky to get a point out of that. If there was any justice in the world it would have been 0 points each.

 

[Taybha]

Play like that and it's point gained , and over another relegation rival just vital we didn't lose , we really do need to pull up our sleeves now and spring a suprise result from somewhere , relying on other teams to do a job against our relegation rivals isn't ideal .

 

[Acker79]

As always, we came from behind, so it's one point gained. I also don't think you can expect more than that if you only manage one shot on target.

Dire first half? Second half was bloody atrocious for the most part too

Normally I'd agree with you 100% but we're talking about playing a game against a team who regard scoring own goals as an occupational hazard and presumably accept relegation in the same casual manner.
