We played such a high defensive line first half. A team with better strikers like Norwich may exploit it.

Would we not have done that deliberately? Mackail-Smith isn't going to out pace us I suspect.

Played better with Harlee today an understanding is developing.
One poor header but read the game well and passing of the ball from the back was top notch.
No dropping of this pair for the next game. 3 hours without conceding.

Got away with that one.
Glad Mackail-Smith decided to shoot straight at Button. :scratch:Another clean sheet can only help the confidence.

Thought Dean had a good game Tarkowski is getting better but if he's going to come forward with the ball he needs to find a pass not try and beat everyone and lose possession.

True say about Mackall- Smith, but the three away games I have seen this season, Watford, Wolves and yesterday just felt we play far too defensive line. Not totally complaining as I look at the league table with a huge smile and as our away record is actually quite good. Equally we should have picked up points from both Watford and Wolves games but feel we leave ourselves too open at the back.

Dean did have a good game but Tarko still has the tendency to drift into a lazy style of play by giving the ball away unnecessarily or not being firm enough in his defensive clearances. I have noticed several Bees fans hold their breath when Tarko receives a pass from Button and then delays his onward delivery or gives Button a poor return pass to deal with.
I prefer Craig's stability, especially when playing alongside Harlee, but Tarko does have the cabability of making those last ditch Moore-like tackles and does indeed look Hermanesque when he ventures forward with the ball.

Jerome is a powerful centre forward. Looking forward to watching Tarky go head to head with him next Saturday. Presumably Harlee will take on Hooper.

.............noticed that if and when Tarks went marauding forwards,Toumani slotted into central defence............

Interesting - I've thought for the last few games that Toumani is playing more of a holding role so perhaps he's seen as the Douglas successor.

Thought he looked very, very good yesterday......lots of tidying up at the back......striding out of defence with the ball on a number of occasions......some excellent long range passes.....and could've scored too......close to MoM for me......

Funnily enough I thought he looked really good once Harlee went off. Really dominated in the air and carried the ball well. However when he was more on the left looked uncomfortable receiving the ball out and made hard work of working the ball down the line due to his very right footedness.

Not sure why folk are forgetting Mac. IMO the natural successor in a holding role. Due to circumstances he ended up playing full back but he's a mid player and a very good one.

I hope not, here we go again, drop the one who has played better all season, I've booked a room, bought a pricey ticket and will do loads of booze and food, I want us to play our strongest side please. It's going to be expensive so no tinkering with a side that bettered and battered Boro.

both of the centre backs were excellent yesterday, such a shame all the focus will be on a split second poor decision.James Tarkowski -
Warbs always stresses the importance of using the "squad" so it will be interesting if he does make any changes ?. The only one I can see is TC for Harlee................not because of yesterday's mistake but as Tarky is playing his best football albeit slightly out of position which IMO does look a bit awkward at times, so if's he's performing that well on the left he'll be even better in his natural position on the right..............just a idea ? Apart from that I cannot see any reasons to change anyone else.

Harlee made one split second mistake. Yes it cost us the game but the Harlee Tarks pairing has been growing nicely and have only conceded 2 goals in last 4 league games. Yesterday we lost because we didn't take one of our many chances.
I used to be in the TC camp feeling he gave us better natural balance but having seen him get beaten up a couple of times in the last couple of months I think we need to stick with Harlee and Tarks until better come along.

How did he play today? I think he has got gradually got back to his high standard since he's come back into the side. I'm suspecting he was very good today

Always going to get better with games under his belt improving fitness. A top top centre back who will be a key figure this season and years to come

He got a kick in the back from Deeney in the first half. Surprised to see him back out in the second.

Shame he picked up a knock as he was absolutely dominating them, back to the JT we know he is!

He was very good first half. Both goals came down his side after he went off.

HIs performances have improved enormously. Still a little awkward distributing with his left now and again but tbh that's being very picky and it's improving game on game.

He was outstanding along with Toums and Button. Result could potentially have been a lot worse were it not for some crucial tackles/interceptions/saves/blocks by all of them.

Anyone know why he went off? Obviously injured in first half and Craig was being properly warmed up at HT. Like to know what the problem was/is though.

I think he took a big hit in the back from Deene and he was feeling the effects of it as the game wore on. Shame because if he was on longer, Watford don't score that equaliser

He took that kick, and then after that, in a goalmouth scramble, I think the ball slammed into him in the same part of his back. That's when he really seemed to start feeling the effects of it.
James Tarkowski -
Wonder if he will be rested for the Charlton game as we don't want him aggravating his injury? Prudence now to ensure he is 100% fit for the last part of the season would be my preference.

Hope we don't rest him. We need as many of our first choice defenders as possible. Jake is out, so Tarky must play (if fit).

No way would Watford have equalised with Tarky on the pitch IMO, he wouldn't have got caught out by the cross and left a free header for the chap.

Who did we buy Prudence from and why did MW or FMcP choose him over the Colombian?

Gather we are negotiating with Classico of Italy for the so called four virtues. They have caused quite a stir in Serie B. Will be available for Saturday's game.
