13th September 2022- Championship, Blackburn Rovers 2 Watford 0

Attendance: 11,803

BBC Sport: Ryan Hedges and Dominic Hyam scored their first goals for Blackburn as they beat Watford in the Championship at Ewood Park.

Sky Sports: The scoreline scarcely did justice to Jon Dahl Tomasson’s men who hassled and harried their opponents who couldn’t match their hunger, workrate and quality.

BHappy: It’s bloody awful. Or at least, we’re bloody awful… Blackburn do a reasonable job of looking like a competent football team. So we’re bloody awful. Or rather… we’re not completely awful, but the bits that are awful are so awful that they render the less problematic bits sort of obsolete. For instance, I don’t really think there’s much wrong with our defence as far as actual defending goes. Nothing that something more cohesive going forward to release the pressure wouldn’t relegate to merely something to work on in the goodness of time, for all Christian Kabasele’s generosity with possession. Kortney Hause’s number has come up on the “who’s missing today?” spinning dial – a worryingly non-specific sprained ankle depriving us of the option of his surges out of defence and swinging crossfield balls.

Fran’s Watford Blog: It had been a dreadful performance. The home side had completely dominated the first half and really should have been further ahead at the break. I had hoped for better after a bright start to the second half, but it didn’t last long and the hosts were happy to sit back and catch us on the break. It was a deserved win for them and a troubling loss for the Hornets. The only player who came out of it with any pride was Bachmann.
