    To watch the goals again on the iplayer.
    Not good.
    To me every one of Watfords goals were avoidable. Bad marking and shoddy defending cost us dear.
    Noticed Flitcroft had a good public slagging of his players efforts but TBH that is not good. He as manager has to be big enough to take the blame for his teams failures and not blame the players publicly.
    He might find he may loose the dressing room if he's not careful.

    TBH Watford were the better team but we didn't have to make things any easier for them by not turning up in the first half and defending so poorly.

    I can't bring myself to watch it. In fact I can't bring myself to watch any football after an embarrassing performance.

    I've missed quite a bit of football this season already.

    The players don't stand a chance when they are set up the way they were by the manager. Have to feel for Dawson and Mellis being asked to play as wingers, and the full backs behind them. Flicker seems to be struggling with the basics.

    Slagging the players is a big mistake on his part as it was blatantly obvious to everybody though the formation may have been ok players were badly out of position and the blame for that falls at his door and nobody else's.

    If I a mere paying supporter with only pub league football experience to draw from can see that surely a group of professional footballers though not always the brightest should have worked it out and there's nothing worse in any job you do when you start to feel like the boss is losing it......

    Golbourne hit back at him after he slagged him off by saying exactly what we have all been saying. It was the formation and position affecting player's performances, not anything to do with their hearts or heads.

    Or the players might realise that if they do play ****, Flitcroft won't be putting his arm around them like he seems to have done all this season. Battling players will respond to this type of treatment
