There have been more than a few incongruous sights on the Vicarage Road pitch in recent years. Harry and Harriet so-called Hornet, Devon White and rugby to name but three.

BSAD: The game in the end turned on a two minute period. Still at 2-1 we created two good chances. The first a cross to the far post which looked like it was going to go out for a goal kick before somehow Nick Wright managed to hook a foot round the ball and send it back across the face of their goal. Unfortunately there wasn’t a Watford player close enough to stab it home. Then moments later Hazan and Smart linked up well to leave Smart with only the keeper to beat. However, the angle was not the best and though Smart kept his shot low, the keeper spread himself well and saved with his feet. The attack was not finished though, and the ball came back out to the wing. Someone passed in field to Hyde and with the WBA defence pushing up, Micah attempted to push the ball through to Smart again who would have been clean through. The pass was awful though and went straight to Hughes. He sent De Freitas racing clear and despite a gallant effort from Johno, he rounded Chamberlain and slotted the ball home. It was effectively all over. Two minutes when we could have easily been 2-2, but ended up being 3-1 down.

Quite impressive of the Independent to get both Keith Millen’s names wrong

BSAD: The players looked more relieved than happy, but seeing our reaction seemed to make them celebrate a bit more. If we do manage to stay up, this game will be seen as one of the major turning points. To come from 3-0 down away from home to get a point takes some doing, but when you consider our position, it makes it more remarkable. As for West Brom, I should think they will be looking over their shoulders and panicking somewhat. After that match, I think I can cope with pretty much anything that might be handed out over the next couple of months. Roll on Derby!
