Ipswich 1-2 Watford


Smith is congratulated by Henderson and Ellington after scoring Watford's opener.


Goals from Tommy Smith and Nathan Ellington gave Watford victory and brought Ipswich's 15-game unbeaten home league record to an end.
The hosts were the only team in the Football League to still be unbeaten at home prior to kick-off.

But Smith's header from Mathew Sadler's corner put Watford ahead on 33 minutes before Alan Lee hit the bar and then Ellington slotted in to make it 2-0.

Ipswich pulled one back when Jonathan Walters poked in from six yards.

Great win, with WBA losing aswell we are now top ;D

Bit dissapointed we had to resort to time wasting as we should have the confidence to play the game out - but hey, a wins a win. Glad to see Tommy getting his 5th goal of the season, he's been our best player so far.

Bromby & Shittu at the heart of the defence were solid apparently, it'll be interesting to see what happens when DeMerit returns.

U ORRRRRRRRRNNNNNSSSS!!!

Yessssss..............

Solid at the back at last GB. I reckon Demerit in Bromby at right back ?

Ainsworth is not a left winger. Just need more creativity in midfield but we are playing a tighter more passing game then before.

Lets kick on for Leicester on Tuesday & build for the end of the season. Looks like a four horse race now.

I don't really know much about Bromby mate, would he be able to play at right back? If so - then yeah I'd be inclined to agree with that. A back four of Sadler---Shittu---Jay Jay----Bromby does sound good.

Need revenge on Tuesday after they turned us over 4-1, hopefully the lads will be upto the task.

Thanks CG

Grrrr!

[Golden_Boy™]

Unlucky Dudette, you had to lose at home sometime

[ITFC Dudette6]

Well, I know we did, but I really feel let down by the fashion of it. Your time wasting tactic was terrible, and how D'Urso only added on four minutes, I shall never know.

Anyway, we move on. I call this a "blip".

[Golden_Boy™]

Yeah they weren't *my* tactics ;D
But like I said in the opening post - I was dissapointed to see us resort that - but it happens.

Good luck for the rest of the season!

[ITFC Dudette6]

Indeed, although I'm quick to blast Ipswich, so had we done the same, I'd be bad-mouthing them right now. Probably.

Same to you. You'll go up.

Nice one watford - i have a nice little bet on you and so far its looking good (in fact all of them are looking good)

Watford + 4 points £2 @ 120/1
West Brom + 3 points £5 @ 16/1
Crystal palace + 16 points £2 @ 20/1

If the league finished now i'd win all 3 bets so keep it up Watford! ;D

I'll go down to the local bookies and stick a few quid on Bristol City, Stoke and Charlton in that case.

Cheers Dudette, I damn sure hope we do, and if we do, I'd like Wigan to go down so Marlon wanker King is left with egg upon his car stealing face

Not worth it now, the odds are too short - i did these bets around the end of November.

Dont worry GB, i did these before running over that whole family of black cats! ;D ;D
