BBC: Jordan Rhodes scored his ninth goal in seven games to fire Blackburn to victory and end Watford’s three-match league winning streak.

Fran’s Watford Blog: The home side went ahead on 64 minutes.  From a long throw, a back header from Dann reached Rhodes who headed past Almunia.  The home side’s confidence grew at this and we never really looked like getting anything from the game.

BBC SportScott McDonald scored a late winner for Middlesbrough as they beat 10-man Watford at Vicarage Road.  The home side took the lead when an Andre Bikey error led to Matej Vydra’s shot being parried and Troy Deeney pounced to score from close range.

BHappy imageIt’s fair to say that a quarter of an hour or so in few will have been anticipating this kind of scoreline. We were aided in no small part by the very early opening, resultant from a weak backpass from the Centre Back Formerly Known as Bikey… Vydra latched onto it, Steele blocked his shot but the ball broke for Troy Deeney to loft the ball into an empty net.

Marvin Sordell’s first-half double helped lift Watford out of the Championship relegation zone.

There are three key reasons for the dramatic transformation in both our effectiveness and our watchableness; these will get the first three thunks.  The first was the early goal.  Only at Reading up to now had we got an early goal in a League game, and we hadn’t scored in front of an increasingly irritated and impatient home crowd before the 78th minute before this one.  Here,  particularly with elements of the crowd riled and ready to turn this game felt as if it could be a breaking point.  Mark Yeates’ drilled strike, capitalising on a defensive error but coming on the tail of a neat passing move as we started the game on the front foot, settled nerves, got the crowd square behind the team.
