Warren called him McCarthy twice ... who the heck is that? A new player ?

I thought we played well. Those chances at the end were slightly less scream-inducing than all the ones against Cardiff, but my heart is still racing a bit. It's a world of what if's, but i think once we get going we are going to be a force. If it's two of the best in the division we've just had away draws with, then there's no reason we cannot take anyone on and down this season.

We were the better side throughout especially 2nd half. Another mistake gave the points away again.
Watford looked like the away team with niggly fouls to slow up play which i suppose is a compliment they relied on a counter attack.
I thought we looked like a very good and confident team, great passing but the lack of goals from a striker or even midfield is very worrying.
Stockdale had a good steady game with 1 very good save.
Very frustrating.

I watched the second half on stream and it has to be said that O'Grady did absolutely f all and with the quality balls put into the box by Lua Lua a decent centre forward would have been in the right position to at least put one away. O'Grady's positioning is poor and the big concern is that no striker has scored since the first game of the season. I think we would be better off playing Hughes and Greer at the back and Dunk centre forward. We badly need someone with a bit of presence up front if we want to turn our possesion into goals.

It was, and his head went down afterwards. Getting Holla on straight away was the right thing to do.

The club should put the away fans in 1 section at the Amex and give them free ale.

The absolute negativity of the idiots posting "we are rubbish" quotes on this thread is unbelievable. There is a problem with scoring, but it will be fixed. Baldock, March, Stephens will be back, hopefully, soon. To say we will be in a relegation battle is to have no understanding of the quality of our squad, or in the ability of the management.

I'm beginning to think that we'll just have to cope with goals from the defence and midfield until Christmas and then splash out 2-3m.
So not a bad point. We should have won. We have Tex not knowing when to pass and we lack a goal threat. That said O'Grady looked good with his lay offs and control. Dunk and GG looking good. Stockdale made a good save and only mistake was a dangerous casual clearance. A bot concerned by the two Villa lads - both need to step up their performances. Colunga, CMS and Baldock (from what I have seen so far) are all a concern really.

I thought we played well, could have won it at the end, 2 great crosses from Lua Lua across the six yard box screaming for a striker to knock them in.
