Outpaced, Outplayed and Outclassed

Sh*t happens. We ain't gonna win every game.

BUT

It can't be allowed to pass that we were absolutely terrible tonight. You can't say we were  just unlucky, didn't have the rub of the green or missed key players, etc etc etc we were basically pants and Watford were a level above us.

Bigger, stronger, faster and hungrier (if that's a real word).

Alexander, after a decent first half, lost it in the second half with poor judgement, poor communication and poor kicking. Defence always looked under pressure. Midfield were one paced and lacked any creative spark (apart from the one pass that set Cameron up to score). Upfront it was embarrassing. To say we were powderpuf would be an insult to powderpuf. We weren't even that weak.

Just when you thought the nightmare would go away you realise it was also broadcast worldwide on live television. Not only did the sparce 9,000 odd crowd feel deflated but so did many fans worldwide.

That's it from me. I'm numbed at the performance. Fingers crossed we'll improve at Pride Park next week.
