Watford raced into an early lead through Troy Deeney but were pegged back by James Hanson’s strike as the Bantams proved more than a match for their hosts in the opening stages. But Marvin Sordell’s 10th goal of the campaign sent Sean Dyche’s men in with the half-time advantage before Forsyth’s double secured their place in the fourth round, despite Nahki Wells’ late consolation.

This is how games against lower division opposition are supposed to pan out, of course, but we’ve made it look considerably harder than this in the past.  From the opening minutes when Marvin Sordell made space for a cross far too easily and Troy Deeney headed in unmarked at the far post, this was never in doubt.

Observer, 22 Feb 2004

BSAD: Despite the post-match celebrations, we don’t yet know what this really means. But we do know what it couldmean. For all the talk of the inevitability of a battle against relegation until the end of the season, it’s well within our power to change that, quickly and decisively. To put an end to it. Approach the next handful of games in the same positive and confident manner, and that fifty point mark could be within reach much sooner than we’d thought possible. Not what we’d hoped for back in August, perhaps. But a bloody relief nonetheless.
