WFC.Net goal commentary: 1

Sky: Watford gave their season the much-needed boost it required with a 1-0 win at struggling Rotherham.

BBC: Yaser Asprilla’s stunning second half strike was enough to secure the three points and lift the Hornets to 11th in the Championship.

Watford Observer: RECAP: Rotherham 0 Watford 1

Three points meant Watford were able to put lipstick on a rottweiler

Ismael: ‘Our focus was all about the result’

Players had been discussing the need for a clean sheet

Fran’s Watford Blog: It was another disappointing performance from the Hornets.  Ismaël said post-match that the win was the most important thing and, while it was great to end our losing streak, a bit of entertainment would have been appreciated.  What entertainment there was mostly came from Asprilla who scored his second wonder goal in a week.  As soon as the ball dropped to him, he (and we) knew that he was going to hit the net.  The first 55 minutes had been quiet, and things livened up when Chakvetadze came on, he isn’t afraid to take a defender on and the first booking of the game was a direct result of him being a menace.  Ismaël has explained that Andrews is fatigued, so he is limiting his game time, but I think we miss his attacking abilities as well.

Roberto Martínez hailed a “perfect” Watford performance after the Hornets ended his Swansea side’s 16-game unbeaten run and extricated themselves from the relegation zone with an exemplary performance of counterattacking.

Swansea missed the chance to move into the play-off places after they were beaten 2-0 away at struggling Watford.

First-half efforts from strikers Tamas Priskin and Tommy Smith was enough to claim all three points for Brendan Rodgers’ men.

I’m not going to tell you this was a Swansea side tired from their impressive endeavors against Fulham at the weekend. Neither am I going to say that this was a Swansea side having a bad day.  

This was quite simply an immense performance from the ‘Orns. Easily the best of Brendan’s reign so far and probably the most impressive I’ve seen from us since the Playoff annihilation of Palace at Selhurst. We were just wonderful.

BBC SportDamien Francis broke Ipswich Town’s defiance with a late winner in this FA Cup fifth-round tie at Vicarage Road.

guardianFor Watford the mixed double of reaching an FA Cup final while being relegated remains a possibility although on the evidence of this error-strewn fifth-round victory over Ipswich their chances of staying in the Cup are only marginally better than their prospects of remaining in the Premiership, and those are slim indeed.

So, where do we go from here? Down, probably, but there’s still a lot of games to go and we can do it. (I never give up, do I?) Certain players emerged from this fiasco with credit – Millen, Palmer, Phillips, White – the rest must follow their example. We’ve got nothing to lose and everything to gain.
