5th April 2025- Championship, Bristol City 2 Watford 1

WFC.Net goal commentary: 1

BBC: Nahki Wells scored one goal and made another as Bristol City scored twice in four first-half minutes to move into the Championship play-off places and seemingly end Watford’s hopes of a top-six finish.

Sky: Watford substitute Mamadou Doumbia reduced the deficit 10 minutes from time, making space on the edge of the box to beat Max O’Leary with a sweetly struck volley that found the bottom corner – but it was not enough to deny Liam Manning’s team three deserved points.

‘We were all comfortable with him starting’ – Cleverley on Baah

Fran’s Watford Blog: It was another disappointing game which was completely changed by the injury to Baah. Up until that point the Hornets had created the better of the chances, but we missed his attacking threat. It was an even game with little in the way of goalmouth action. Sadly, an error by Abankwah and another by the linesman allowed the home side to score two goals in a five minute period and from that point on the Hornets never looked like getting anything out of the game. The highlight for the travelling fans was the Doumbia goal. He was set up by a gorgeous pass from Louza, but he took his chance very well and it was great to see a striker scoring an impressive goal.

From the Rookery End: Mike and DCW look back at the defeat to Bristol City on Saturday and try to make sense of how we should feel about our season given that our already slim chances of making the play-offs are now almost certainly done and dusted
