Watford Observer: RECAP: Watford 1 Huddersfield 2

Woeful Watford suffer another dismal defeat to Huddersfield

‘I picked two players but it actually could have been changing all of the 11’

Ismael points at mentality: it was nothing physical, technical or tactical

Ismael discusses if he thinks he made mistakes – and Andrews on the bench again

Does Ismael fear the sack? Did he understand the boos at Vicarage Road?

BHappy: For the first time this season we’ve stopped looking like a team, and if it’s difficult to quiet the whisper at the back of the mind suggesting that this might have been on the cards as soon as Dennis came back, there’s no doubt that Val is now under pressure.  How this pans out will shed light on the permanence of our commitment to a little bit more patience with bumps in the road, but given the poisonous air to yesterday’s performance I must confess to a degree of concern that events might have overtaken me before I got to the end of this report.

Fran’s Watford Blog: There was 8 minutes of added time for those who were still inside Vicarage Road.  It was largely devoid of incident apart from when Martins played a lovely through ball for Andrews whose low cross was easily gathered by Nicholls.  So, the Hornets fell to a poor defeat against a struggling side and those that were still in the ground let the players know what they thought about the performance. A number of the players headed straight back to the dressing room, but Hoedt rounded up those that he could and told them to applaud the fans.  He looked furious.
