Just back from the game and very unhappy

First fifteen Watford looked like a conference team, but we didn?t score. If we had gone ahead them, I?m sure we would have won by loads.

Awful first goal which was probably Watford?s only shot of the first half.

We had the majority of the play, worked hard, but were firing blanks. Croft looked dangerous, some nice touches, but the half summed up our season. Decent play, bad mistake and go a goal behind.

Surprised Roeder didn?t tug Russell at h/t. He wasn?t sure where he was playing what he had to do, and looked lost. Was he a midfielder, an attacker on an ?in the hole? man? Who knows? Russell didn?t and nor did Roeder.

Our goal was lovely - well worked, and if we had held out for a few minutes we would have won, but some catastrophic standing off and a rolled shot into the corner was enough.

There were more and more shouts for a change, for Lupoli, or anyone to mix things up but nothing happened. Even Kennedy up front. Anyone. The general feeling was that the more we yelled at Roeder the less likely he was to do anything. It was a sort of game of double bluff between Glen ?I have the only opinion that counts? Roeder and the 1000+ away fans who could all see we were playing well, but it needed a change.

At least we know it was Lee Clark who made all the good substitutions, but as he?s off now I?m not sure who will tell Roeder what to do.

If we had scored it he would have been justified in standing there, but we didn?t and to be honest it looked like we would score less and less as we approached the 90 minutes.

The last twenty or so Watford looked to have a decent shape, held their positions and repelled most attacks. We need to make a change and we didn?t. It was a dreadful dreadful error of judgement by Roeder.

I was so annoyed I called Canary Call. Adams defended the indefensible tactics by Roeder somehow and when he talks we cannot speak back, so he just waffles for ages. I?m just pleased I didn?t? swear on Radio Norfolk.

A good contingence of Wrathers there this evening. Had a good chat with Charles, Tim Berry, and Otto whose hair had mostly been cut from his head.

Even after typing all these words I am so annoyed at Roeder for that game. What a complete tosser.
