BSAD: On Saturday, it was painfully obvious what we’re missing. Contrast the roles of Gary Penrice and Andy Hessenthaler in the match – the former was completely invisible and made no impact on the course of the game; the latter ran the show in the second half, orchestrating the home side’s attacks and lending a helping hand all over the field. He won the midfield, basically, and dictated the game (we talk about his tackling usually but his distribution was first class). We don’t have anyone who can do that and we end up playing too many matches at the opposition’s pace as a result.

I can’t explain why I’m still going to Watford matches. I wish I could rationalise it – it might make all the frustration a little easier to deal with. But there’s no reason to be at Vicarage Road, sitting week after week watching an average side grind out yet another draw and slide a little further away from the all-important automatic promotion places. It’s just blind loyalty, nothing more. I’m there because I’ve always been there. The club would do well to capitalise on that loyalty before it turns into utter indifference.
