This was a game of of three penalties. The one Watford scored, the one Blackpool missed and the one at the end that the referee failed to give, if Blackpool are to move away from the bottom of the Championship they'll have to start taking their chances but more importantly bring in such much needed quality.

Watford dominated the first half and only goalkeeper Joe Lewis's heroics saved the home side from conceding a hatful. The Seasiders offered little from midfield with Perkins and Lundstram the Achilles heel whilst Miller and Zoko in for Delfouenso and Ranger saw little of the ball to make any sort of an impact

Blackpool did improve after the break. Five minutes into the second half, Miller headed on McMahon's long ball to put Zoko through, but onrushing goalkeeper Heurelho Gomes made the save.
Watford, who enjoyed 52% possession, made the breakthrough in the 68th minute as substitute Dyer, who had replaced Lewis McGugan eight minutes earlier, turned McMahon in the box and was brought down by the Blackpool skipper. Vydra converted the resulting penalty low to Lewis's right.
Blackpool went close four minutes later when Miller's headed effort was chested down by Troy Deeney and then hooked off the line. And Watford were lucky to hold on to their lead when Daniel Pudil was adjudged to have brought down substitute Ranger, but the striker's penalty struck the inside of the post before rebounding clear.

With the Chairman's much needed backing, time for Jose to pull some much needed rabbit's out of the hat - an appearance and work permit for Cubero would be a start.
