BBC: Tom Ince delivered another comeback victory for Watford with a late winner against Championship strugglers Norwich City.

Sky: Norwich twice went ahead and often played with enterprise which belied their lowly position, but they were undone by two-goal Luca Kjerrumgaard’s twin headers and 33-year-old Ince’s enduring poacher’s instincts.

BHappy: If we didn’t deserve the win we definitely earned it. Nonetheless, near universal relief at the final whistle as the impressive away following trooped dejectedly out. I say near universal, since Vivaldo Semedo was left beating the turf in prolonged and theatrical frustration having believed he’d fooled the keeper (who may have simply heard a whistle that he had not) as the game concluded with him tapping into an empty net. His dramatic histrionics were interrupted by his being mobbed by an exuberant mob from the bench, fronted by Nestory Irankunda. Further evidence, alongside Othmane Maamma watching the game’s concluding moments fixatedly from the bench unable to sit down or to get as far as putting a tracksuit top on, of a spirit that seems transformed since the early days of the season.

Fran’s Watford Blog: A friend described this game as entertainingly terrible, which was a bit harsh, but it was certainly entertaining. It was the classic game of two halves. In the first half, there was no cohesion at all, Norwich were running the show and the defence was a shambles. The change at the break really made a difference and suddenly, we had a team who were playing together, creating some really good chances and defending with a lot more conviction. The man of the match was Ngakia, who was superb, making a couple of key tackles in the box on Sargent and providing the assist for Kjerrumgaard’s second. It was great to see Luca score, and he took both goals well with the second being particularly impressive.  Come from behind wins always have you leaving the ground with a smile on your face. The only negative was the injury to Chakvetadze. I hope he is back in the team very soon.

BSAD imageBSAD report:As is regularly mentioned on these very pages, the First Division of the Nationwide Football League is a very strange place. There are games that delight you, the recent trip to Norwich being one. There are games of free-flowing football with goal scoring chances aplenty and excitement beyond compare. There are also wars of attrition, games high on honest toil and endeavour, but low on skill, thrills and entertainment. Frankly, they are best described as dull. The fact that this is a third (or fourth, I lost count) attempt at writing this report flings this game into the final, instantly forgettable category.

This was the first time Graham Taylor managed a game against Watford. Eighteen months later he would be in charge of us.
