WFC.Net Goal Commentary: 1 2 3

BBC: Barnsley slumped to the foot of the Championship as Watford breezed to a fifth-straight home league win. The Hornets were in command within 16 minutes after Cristian Battocchio scored, then Troy Deeney netted his 17th goal of the season.

Bhappy: Extraordinary how things have flipped around. Under Gianfranco our away form was passable, regular points away from home from perhaps stronger performances than the results suggested… but at home we were a catastrophe, increasingly without an answer to the same sucker punch. Now… our home form is extraordinary, today’s result never in doubt. In Blackpool and Barnsley we’ve faced two poor sides at low points in their season but we’ve put them away in style. Our away form has been iffier, and the obstacle to a more credible play-off challenge. Up to now, the distance to the play-offs has not been insurmountable… it’s been the fact that we haven’t been putting together a string of results to threaten to bridge that gap that’s been the problem. Whilst we still await another away win, the strong performance at Doncaster suggests that that win will come sooner rather than later. Unfortunately, we may be getting it together just as the games start to run out.
