Here goes, second crack. Hopefully our much improved home form continues and we can make it four on the spin.
I'll go for a tight 2-1 win with Kolli who at home is becoming a bit of a talisman notching one and Chair finally getting off the mark. |  |

Superb. Terrific result and a massively unexpected New Year boost. A sort of nice team payback for the 700 who ventured to Swansea on Boxing Day. This is for them more than any imho. Happy 2025 all. [Post edited 1 Jan 14:39]

Could have but didn't. Rangers resilient to end. Hi Ho Silver... |
True and we should have easily won at theirs before anyway. | | | |

Really difficult to pick a MOTM today. Everyone has played well and played their part in a convincing win and I genuinely can't pick out one performance above others |
Is it? Smyth by miles, surely?
Dunne a good second. |  | | |

Paul Smyth my MOM, closely followed by Ashby and Paal |
Jimmy for me, Smyth a close second, Varane and Morgan eek third, and then Nardi, Frey, Chair, Paal, Field, Ashby, Fox all very very good today, whole team effort! |  | | |

That'll do nicely. Rode our luck a little but a thoroughly deserved win. Ashby and especially Smyth looked brilliant down the right in the second half, Watford couldn't handle them at all. | | | |

Smythy fantastic today. He's finally learned to play a decent final ball and it's paying off. Dunne an absolute monster as well. | | | |

It is for me, yes. Thought Michi really led by example smashing the defence about the place, Dunne was magnificent in both boxes, Field and Varane were rocks in midfield, Kieran Morgan's passing was a joy to behold and both Paal and Ashby stood up resolutely and provided attacking endeavour in addition to Smyth's non-stop running and directness |  |

Great result! Field MotM for me today, worked His socks off in the midfield area and got the goal. | | | |

That win at Cardiff really has turned our season around. It's been quite a remarkable recovery. See what happens with just a little patience? We put our faith in Marti and he's delivering. And Paul Smyth has gone from scapegoat, to one of the best players in the division currently. |
The last few games have been up and down, and the 'down' parts have been Stygian, but the general trajectory is upward, and today warmed the cockles, that's for sure.
Ad astra per aspera. Or something. |  |

Really enjoyable game.
Great seeing Frey back making plasticine shapes with their centre halves. |  |

Great win today and we were really up for it in difficult conditions. Smyth MoM. Worked his socks off as well as being dangerous as soon as he got a run on the ball. Delivery is getting better as well.
Nasty when we needed to be and taking chances when they come.
U R'ssss. |  |

Smyth MOTM for me, Watford just couldn't contain him, he frightened the life out of them every time he attacked them. | |

Fantastic game. Ashby-Morgan-Smyth combination tormented them down the right, and aside from paal in the first half I can’t pick out a poor performance in the squad. |  | | |

Thought that, but it was him giving the ball away that led to their goal. Otherwise a shoo-in.
Personally I find it hard to look beyond Jimmy with honourable mentions to Varane, Frey, Ashby and Paal - the latter two putting their best displays of the season in... |  |

Ashby's best game for us, IMO. I. The fordy half his passi g was off, but he defended well mostly. The second half was a great improvement and signs of the player i had hoped for. |  |

Isn't it nice to have Loftus Road back to being a tough place to come again, our home form will be key to push further up the table. Now let's see off Luton next Monday. [Post edited 1 Jan 15:04]

They’d make a great firm of lawyers with that name combo… |  |
| Those possessed by devils, try and keep them under control a bit, can't you ?

I thought Paal was good - what's your issue? | |

Forgot to mention. Smyth winding up the watford fans on their last free kick was the absolute highlight. Cracked me up silly | | | |
