BHappy: It should be no great surprise that so many of our home games have been desperately dull, particularly against the division’s weaker sides.  The likes of Hull and Plymouth have a template that has been more-or-lessworking here for visitors for weeks and the knowledge that in the absence of a striker that can hold the ball up there really isn’t any point in us playing long.

Frans Watford Blog: It wasn’t the greatest game of football, and it had a real end of season feel to it, but the Hornets created some decent chances and the goal was excellent, some lovely build-up play and a clever finish by Sissoko. But a win is a win, and we are still only six points off the play-offs which, given how poorly we have played for a lot of the season, shows how ridiculously close this division is.

From the Rookery End: The senior side will have been pleased to get back to winning ways in a game where the defence was the bright spot, while the U18s provided a timing endorsement of the work going on at the Academy with a hugely resilient performance against a very very strong Man City.
