I stay well clear of these, but Bridcutt was MOM. Superb, especially in the second half.

All 8s, except Bridcutt 9, Barnes and Murray 8.5.
Anyone notice when Greer hoofed it, oatway, tarricco, poyet all charged to touchline to have a go at him?

If Bennet was leaving he would not have interacted with the fans - he was even laughing when we were asking him the score.
Looks like Gus has played this well - We don't want you to go Benno, but you aint playing today, as we CAN surivive without you - And Play we did!

Brezovan - 6.5 - A couple of dodgy kicks but made a few good saves. Not sure he had to make a save in the 1st half! Low rating purely based on very little to do.
Calderon - 7.5 - Had a good game. I think he misses having an attacking winger in front of him which allows him a bit more space.
Greer - 7.5 - Solid.
Elphick - 8 - Came across to help Calde a few times in the 2nd half and did a decent job. Just pips Greer to best CB.
Painter - 7.5 - A few probing balls down the left released Barnes/Murray down the wing and did a good job in keeping their right winger quiet.
Dicker - 8.5 - Just beaten to MoM by Bridcutt. Very rarely gave the ball away and some decent longer crosses out wide.
Bridcutt - 9 - MoM. Quality passing, bossed the midfield and possibly the reason we won the game. I think it was him that made an AMAZING tackle down the far end. Superb.
Spaz - 7.5 - Again solid (like most) but has the tendancy to give the ball away in the middle of the park.
Wood - 7 - Maybe a bit harsh but was the worse of the 3 strikers, hence the rating. Holds the ball up really well though.....
Murray - 8 - but this man does it so much better. The ball just sticks to him and is very clever at winning fouls. Perhaps overdue a goal.
Barnes - 8 - Not quite sure how his goal crept through the goalkeeper but if you don't test the goalkeeper, you'll never score! Felt he prospered when drifting in centrally a bit more and linking up with Wood/Murray.

Woods ran his socks off,worked off the ball all the time,held it up very well,and i cant remember him losing the ball,bit harsh IMO to say he was our worst player today.........

Might not have agreed with conkers as to how many EB songs there were but this is a fair reflection. At first read I thought I would have given the players higher ratings due to the great result but need to remember that Watford just didnt turn up. All 8's and above is wrong.

Apart from Bridcutt who was outstanding and Barnes, who was a complete pain to the Watford defence throughout the game.

Wasn't there but from the radio commentry Dicker sounded like he had a great game, they were really singing his praises.

Brezovan 5 - Didn't have a lot to do, but a couple of fumbles that could have led to trouble. Must admit I feel a lot more comfortable with Casper in goal.
Calderon 8 - Great performance in both defence and attack. Could have maybe scored.
Elphick 7.5 - Very solid in defence, a little bit careless in possession.
Greer 7.5 - Ditto Elphick.
Painter 7 - Miscontrolled a few times but generally pretty good. We attacked a bit more down the right so a little bit quieter.
Bridcutt 9 MOM - Only weakness is that he can be a bit careless in possession but christ does he try and win it back. Fast becoming one of our most important players. Provides a vital outlet for defenders when passing across the back. Need to get him on a long-term deal.
Sparrow 7.5 - Benefitted from lack of wingers, had more influence. Never stops running and intelligent in possession.
Dicker 8 - Showed his Championship quality, kept on playing in his own sweet way, twisting and turning his way around pretty much everyone. Another who deserves a new contract.
Barnes 6 - A little bit raw still. Good goalscoring record and has the ability I think, but we need to be patient with him.
Wood 7 - Looks a lot more confident than before xmas. A bit better in the air and more confident on the ball.
Murray 8 - Especially good second half. Interesting battle with Taylor, probably came out of it better.

Can't be bothered to do full team ratings. However Brezovan's kicking was slightly suspect at times, but covered the angles well and didn't have much to do. Greer's kicking was also erratic and the long hoof upfield wasn't needed at times. Calderon was quality once again, after a few shaky performances he was back to his best today contributing all over the pitch, and what a tackle in the second half to deny Watford of an extremely weighted attack. Elphick and Painter usual performances from both doing their jobs well with minimal fuss.
Bridcutt absolutely ran the show today. He was everywhere always doing his bit, putting in tackles at the back, spraying the ball around with accuracy in the middle, helping press when we were on the attack. In my opinion a faultless appearance and for a lad only aged 21 he's got a bright future if he puts in performances like that every week. Dicker also quality, his usual play-making performance worked well in the middle alongside Brids and Spadge.
Barnes a lot better than his Bournemouth performance. This time seemed like he wanted the ball a lot more, always looking for gaps to play players in, and not afraid to take a shot from outside the box, luckily
Murray again quality. Just doesn't do anything wrong. Even agaisnt a Championship defence he's beating them to every ball and always putting himself about. Quality
Wood did his usual job extremely well again.
Great performance from the lads yet again, and as Dicker said after the game, if we play like that against Championship opposition, then we hope we can do exactly the same against those in League One

I'd agree with that with one exeption, Barnes should be about 7-7.5

Either a shit windup or you are a complete fucktard. I don't recognise your posting and can't be arsed to research you so we will see. I will prob look like a tit but hey ho.
Brez - 7: Couple of shaky kicks but didnt do alot wrong, decent block from Watford second half.
Calde - 6: Dispite most people on this thread, I didn't think he played well today in defence. Made a couple of really important challenges but looked a yard or two off the pace when being run at by quick players. Got skinned a few times in the second half and was saved by Liam more than once. Saying that he is worth it going forward despite the fact that he should have had a few more digs at goal today.
Greer - 7: Looked strong in defence but gave away too many balls when trying to push out and pass.
Elphick - 7: Ok but looked abit edgy to me. Made some great tackles but doesn't enstill as much confidence as El-Abd (never thought I would say that!) as sometimes he just needs to put his foot through the ball!!
Painter - 7.5: Pretty solid. Gave greer a horrible back pass in the first half but battled well and looked strong.
Dicker - 7.5: Usual for Dicker. Did some stuff VERY WELL, made some TERRIBLE passes. Generally had a nice game but needs more confidence to shoot in good positions. Had a few chances today that he should have taken rather than play the cleaver pass.
Sparrow - 8: Very good today. Still prone to the odd dodgy pass but generally bossed the midfield next to Liam.
Bridcutt - 9.5: Only losing the 0.5 for ONE bad pass in the second half. Was a class above both teams today and should have earned a new contract by this performance alone. If he is capable of playing like that week in week out we will go up even without Bennett and Murray! Made some amazing tackles, a great tidying up sort of player and NEVER panics when he has the ball. League 1's answer to Viera.
Wood - 8: Held the ball up well, especially in the second half. Ran his socks off and made a few good shots on goal. Is very skillful for such a big lad and really hope we can possibly sign him in the summer.
Barnes - 9: Ran his bloody socks off till the 95 minute. Lucky for his goal but he has the confidence to have a dig so fair play to the lad. Worked well as the runner of the trio up top and was so up for it today.
Murray - 9: Where to begin with this lad. He really is class and despite this, looks so good it looks so easy for him. Plays so well in both the attacking and supporting/holding up role. Wound up the opposition, worked his socks off, made some superb dives (he really is good at making the slightest touch look like he has been pole-axed!!) and took alot of pressure off the defence.
Generally thought we were pretty great today. Made some HUGE challenges when Watford were on the odd occassion looking dangerous and could/should have scored more. Can't fault the workrate and I am going to bed a very happy Birthday boy
These with Brezovan - 6 and Calderon 7.
