Quality result, the defence seem to have sorted themselves out. I've heard we didn't play too well but back to back wins are much appreciated. Let's keep this winning run up once the new manager is put in place.

Yes a wins a win, but another poor performance against a mediocre team
If they continue to play, the way they have so far this season
We won't be going up. And yet another missed pen?
Sorry if you can't hit the target from. 12yards it's a poor do
If the goalie saves it fair do

Those who boo-ed CKR for missing penalty and Murphy are worse than dingles.

Hate is a strong word but its pretty close to what I'm feeling at moment towards your disgusting sorry carcasses.

Good result boys and dingle thrashing just adds to a perfect day at the park. :-)

RTID.

Very tidy passing, lots of good possession but no end product because Rhodes was on his own and Watford had 11 men behind the ball. It was pretty boring until Gomes and Murphy came on. Worst thing was the crowd. Very poor turn out. Club has a lot to do to win fans back though the players are doing what they can off todays showing. Pity all those who said they would be back once Kean had gone, didn't really mean it. The club will go under with crowds like todays. Bet everybody flocks for tickets for the Burnley game

Two clean sheets in a row! When did that last happen? Well done jr. Has really not let the price tag get to him. Imagine when we get a manager the fans back and the team starts to really click and play well. Not long till Best should be back either...

bring back the good old days says...

Full quota of support not returning has many reasons;

1) They continued with Kean into this new season.
2) Kean walked, was not despatched.
3) Their 'stalling / ill preparation' of a replacement is illustrating their lack of forward planning and continued ineptness of management of a football club.
4) Some of the names being bandied about are indicating that the circus may continue.
5) Due to all of the above, many/most have determined not to renew their ST, therefore the cost of attending has doubled, and this for (at pres.) continued poor fare on display (entertainment wise) in a lesser division against much poorer opposition.
6) We are now in the Champs (due to Venkys arrogance and billigerance).
I put this last, as that is he lesser of all the reasons in anyone not returning.
All on the outside would like to think all are glory merchants, but I dont believe that for one moment.
