12th April 2025- Championship, West Bromwich Albion 2 Watford 1

WFC.Net goal commentary: 1

BBC: West Brom held on to end their five-match winless run and boost their flagging play-off bid with a victory over Watford.

Sky: Tom Fellows was the star of the match with two identical assists to Karlan Grant and Mikey Johnston as the Baggies were able to beat the Hornets for the first time since December 2016 – moving up to seventh in the table.

West Brom 2 Watford 1 minute-by-minute report

Albion were just more streetwise Cleverley admits

Was there a glimpse into the future amid narrow defeat at The Hawthorns?

‘You’d rather be the effective team than the team that is good on the eye’

BHappy: Ultimately we played like what we are; a mid-table team missing some of its more fun players. West Brom also look like a mid-table team (albeit at least one of those tends to make the play-offs) but deserved to win on the basis of scoring twice to our once. A mid-table team is not what we aspire to be, perhaps, but it’s fine for the moment. There are worse things to be, after all (hellooooo Luton, but not just Luton – others have coped with No Longer Being a Premier League Club far worse than we have).

Fran’s Watford Blog: It had been an enjoyable, competitive game. After the early goal, the Hornets had the better of the first half and were unlucky to go in a goal down. Heads seem to drop after the second goal, but they soon rallied and were fighting for a point right to the end of the game. Sissoko scored his second goal in a week, and it was another good effort. It was good to see Dwomoh return to competitive action as it gives us another option. This game certainly didn’t have the end of season feel that characterised the Hull game. I hope that they continue to fight in the remaining games, so that we can have a positive end to the season, while avoiding a play-off place.

From the Rookery End: After heading to the Hawthorns (via the brilliant Vine pub!) Mike was joined to discuss the game by Colin and Adam Drury. The trio talk about Tom’s achievements this year and whether he actually deserves more credit, despite a downturn in results. Adam and Colin disagree on how culpable the midfield is in giving up goals, while there is also chat about Jeremy Ngakia’s good form, Caleb Wiley’s improving showings and Moussa Sissoko’s scoring record – among much much more.

BHappy image For anyone worried that the season might fizzle out, a properly tasty game of football. Any mention of officials in the first thunk is inevitably followed by a tirade…but this is the exception, for Mr A Taylor’s contribution, while sometimes inconsistent and occasionally slightly bewildering, should be heartily applauded by all card-carrying members of the Campaign for Real Tackling.

BBC Sport Norwich’s automatic promotion push was dealt another blow as they were held to a draw at Watford.

BSAD imageBSAD reports: It would be easy to gush and to go on about how wonderful we were. Before I do so, I think I’ll emphasise now just how bloody awful York were – it really does make you wonder how they beat Everton and Man Utd in recent years. To their credit, they did try and play football, passing it around and moving, but that, of course, suited us better and overrall, I think 4-0 was probably a fair result.
