Watford Observer: Late equaliser doesn’t hide another step forward for Watford Watford boss felt only two points from Easter was harsh Cleverley says Watford changes in attack helped team defend BHappy: A word for Mileta Rajović, who got a proper run here for the first time in Tom’s three games to date. I’ve been fooled by suggestions like this before that haven’t been followed through in subsequent games, so let’s see but… one of the frustrations with the big striker has been his reluctance, perhaps inability to weaponise his size. He grapples, he competes, though his total lack of acceleration makes him less of a nuisance than he might be… but he’s not shown enough evidence of an ability to bully opponents. He bullied West Brom here. His forty minutes or so was aggressive and effective… somehow he no longer seemed to be lumbering slightly haplessly after the game but was very much at the centre of it. Competing for headers he had little chance of winning but leaving something on his marker anyway, just to let him know he had a scrap on his hands. Pushing away challenges and spreading the play as teammates scampered away from him. Bellowing at Emmanuel Dennis’ selfishness (yes, really) as the Nigerian picked up the pieces after Palmer had pushed away a TDB drive and smacked a shot against the post from a ridiculous angle rather than pulling back for the Dane to tap in. Arguing with fellow sub Martins, claiming rights to a free kick won on the edge of the area… Martins prevailed and curled a shot gently into the keeper’s chest, a Rajović set piece would have been morbidly fascinating. Finally, flying in at the far post to stretch and turn in yet another Lewis cross; the celebration was in front of the away section and screamed both joy and relief. We screamed with him, a fine moment irrespective of what happened subsequently. Fran’s Watford Blog: After the final whistle, Hoedt led the players over to applaud us while ruefully shaking his head. The travelling faithful gave the players a really good reception and Cleverley was greeted with a loud chorus of his name. https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/68652949 Share this: Share on X (Opens in new window) X Share on Facebook (Opens in new window) Facebook
