Still 10 clear and a win with results off 9th
Frustrating but would have taken a point.
Those below us are not taking advantage

Silly old bat
This morning we had 25 points and now we have 26.
A game's not over until the final whistle, as we showed Fulham & Southampton.

Patience Timothy... we're getting there. We didn't scrape 16th last year and we're not scraping it this year. But we are getting more comfortable. And no, I don't think we're a better side than any of those three... yet
Idiot. 2-0 up and you post that !

Perhaps our defenders might do better if they didn't have to do the strikers job as well!Point gained.

How can an away point be a bad result...
We moan about other teams sense of entitlement....
It's only a couple of months back people were wondering if we'd score away from home again let alone start collecting points.

It's a football cliche.
Watford also threw away a two goal advantage at Bournemouth and ended up drawing. Next time they play away do you think their fans will want:
a) Javi Gracia to keep on attacking in the same manner that has seen them rise to 8th in the table, or
b) Shut up shop and see if they might nick a 1-0 from a set piece?

Looks like a bit of a gap is opening to the bottom 6 now. I think it's between those 6 for the relegation places, with Huddersfield already taking one of them. Newcastle dropping quietly into the mix. Tough two league games coming up for us now......so getting a point was important. Point gained and a fair result.

2-0 is a horrible scoreline and needs the 3rd to wrap it up. They got one back and momentum is with them to get the second like they did.

I'll look after the skirt
Given the circumstances, two points dropped. We looked so confident and in charge before their first. On the positive side, we regained composure and didn't fold after their second. Probably would have taken a point pre-match, but still a little frustrating.

Exactly, definitely a point gained with a spirited performance. A win would have been nice but WH came back well and I’d have setlled for the point very happily after the scored their second with a 1/4 of the game still to go. WH fans will be much more disappointed than us.

I’ll go for point gained.
Bear in mind, we were fortunate to beat them at the Amex.

Very happy to get a point but obviously gutted that we let the other two get away. Probably a fair result and on reflection 5 points from last 3 fixtures is a good return.

We're fortunate to be in a position where we can chew over the merits of an away draw at West Ham. Spare a thought for Terriers fans tonight - that was a must-win game they've just lost to Burnley.
Wagner once had Godlike status but now there are doubts and the likes of Cardiff, Southampton and Burnley are picking up points and leaving them behind. I think they're toast.

Strange one. Point gained really but feels like 2 points dropped. I’m sure CH will feel that it’s 2 dropped!

You’ve managed to spectacularly miss the point of my post and compare it to a completely different scenario:
We scored two second half goals, with only half an hour left, yes, I excpect us to play tight, keep the ball and close the game out professionally.
Watford had scored their first 2 goals after 24 minutes (or thereabouts) so the scenario is very different, shutting up shop for 70 minutes doesn’t (usually) work.
