Only two per cent and nine votes separated Tommie Hoban and Almen Abdi in the Watford Observer's man-of-the-match poll following Friday night's 2-2 draw with Crystal Palace.
Just under 600 readers took part in the ballot between Saturday afternoon and this morning and it was the returning Hoban who received the most nominations (215), which accounted for 38 per cent of the votes.
Abdi's excellent first-half display and goal resulted in the Swiss midfielder securing 36 per cent and Lloyd Doyley was third with just under 100 nominations.
Nathaniel Chalobah received 6 per cent of the votes and 20 readers believe one of the other Watford players were the best Hornets player.

Team spirit is the real winner as we move up the table.

id settle for finishing just the one place higher; Interesting that udinese paid £3,400,000 for Vydra not supprised no bids were even considered if they were only around that figure. 15 goals in the premiership should make him worth 15 mill +. Abdi at 8 mill. However much is this squad worth ????. Seen some great players over the years at watford but I honestly think vydra is better than mighty MO and our Luther. Abdi from what ive seen is the best we have ever had in midfield, even better than Roger Joslyn. When I think of Ian Bolton and Steve Terry wonder if we could do with them occassionally and forresteri is so similar to Nigel C in many ways, frustrating but brilliant at times. Lastly Lloyd who is a legend and will remain so in my eyes. How hes changed this season speaks volumes for this man a pros, pro in every way. Still think we should have taken another keeper last summer as an untested Bond is a risk and alluminium is a little dodgy at times although much prefered to Loach, Oh how baz must regret spurs not making good on there rumoured bid 18 months ago.Anyone any ideas on what valuation chelsea would put on Chalobah anything around 4 mill and i would be great value at his age.
