Watford Observer: RECAP: Watford 0 Leeds 4 Five talking points as Watford crash to heavy Leeds loss Watford 0 Leeds 4 minute-by-minute report ‘Five points in 10 games? I get a bit embarrassed when I hear my name sung’ BHappy: We do fine. Until we don’t. Certainly we get away with things a couple of times in the first few minutes, but even that is a step up from Not getting away with things, which has often been the way of it early on. There’s a panache about the way we move the ball around too… you’re always going to get that with Louza and Dele-Bashiru in midfield of course, but the whole pass-it-to-death thing feels increasingly credible with the recent additions of personnel, and if 18 year-old Mamadou Doumbia, on his first home start, doesn’t quite have the same impact as he did on Saturday the ball does stick to him, he’s anticipating and getting a foot in and far from intimidated by the physical challenge. Fran’s Watford Blog: t was a dispiriting game. Leeds are the best team that I have seen in this division both this season and last, so it was no surprise that they beat us so comprehensively. There was no shame in that for the Hornets who never stopped working, but were simply outclassed. The positive of the game for me was to see the lively cameos by Nabizada and Vata who were certainly not intimidated by the quality of the opposition. But that was a small consolation on a miserable evening. Share this: Share on X (Opens in new window) X Share on Facebook (Opens in new window) Facebook
