For me two things haven't worked. Firstly Burstow up front is awful. He looks out of his depth and barely challenges for headers, can't hold the ball up etc. Secondly, Roberts has been ineffectual at number 10 compared to Pritch, who really sets the tempo. For me, those two off and Rusyn and Auochiche on.

If you are talking about Burstow, he's been painfully weak tonight. He has contributed nowt at all.

Or take Ba off and return Roberts to the right.

Burstow looks overawed to me, he's got what it takes, he's just shit frightened to use it, I think If he scores, he'll keep scoring.

Ba off, Roberts on the wing where he should be. Aouchiche through the middle.
 
We need a second so we can focus a bit and play with some confidence..still shaky like this..remember Cardiff

I think we would be better off playing to the counter. They are playing a high press and crowding the centre, Roberts I’d have switch with ba and bring rusyn on in place of Burstow. Need to hit them with much more pace on the counter, at the moment possession football is being cancelled out by them playing the same and they crowding the centre of the pitch is pushing us to make mistakes there and release too many loose balls

Canny sure one of our fan pages posted the views of a Watford fan on the game. Basically said if you run at him he'll get done every time.

Aye? Can see it mind. They've just signed him apparently (according to me Watford supporting mate) and you can see he's not up to the pace. Looks nervous and out of his depth.

Edit* apparently he was actually signed in Jan. Jesus
