Ruddy, to me, looked very nervous. He did make one good save in the first half but looked shaky a lot of the time.
We didn't put their defence under any pressure, probably because Watford didn't allow us any time on the ball in midfield and we didn't create much space there.
Ward, the defender that we recruited from a Championship club, actually looked the most inept at various times during both halves. He's good on the ball compared to Nelson but turning his back for the third goal having left Graham all that room to shoot on his good foot was appalling.
Most of the midfield had their good moments but personally I would have put Korey on as well and taken a striker off. They overran us a few times, especially in the first half.
I thought the ref was right most of the time, but the foul on Drury at the end was a clear error. And it would have given us a free kick just outside the area.
