WFC.Net goal commentary: 1

Sky: Tom Cleverley was able to celebrate his appointment as permanent manager with the club’s first home victory since November 28, ending a run of 12 winless games.

BBC: A dull end-of-season affair between two mid-table sides was settled by a moment of quality midway through the second half.  Ismaël Koné played a perfect pass in behind the Sunderland defence and youngster Andrews coolly slotted past keeper Anthony Patterson.

Watford Observer: RECAP: Watford 1 Sunderland 0

A home win and a clean sheet, but not many positives otherwise

A home win, light relief – but home form has to be much better next season

BHappy: What followed was various ebbs and flows of a match-up with a lot of things not going for it.  Two average-to-mediocre Championship sides with not an awful lot to play for in in constipated form…  three of our last four games had finished nil-nil, Sunderland’s last four had featured a grand total of two goals.  We hadn’t won here since November, Sunderland were on a run of two wins in fourteen.  It was never likely to be a classic.

Fran’s Watford Blog: The game had been real end of season fare.  It wasn’t great, but it was considerably better than the reverse fixture, which was absolutely terrible.  Dennis had a ‘mare.  Koné wasn’t much better in the first half but is forgiven for his stunning pass to set up the goal for Andrews.  Grieves didn’t have much of a chance on his debut as nobody seemed to want to pass to him.  The positives are that the goal was a thing of beauty and a home win to finish the season was very welcome.  Tom Cleverley was saying all the right things, and I am excited to see what he does with the team next season.
