Captain fantastic helps Watford secure win
5:03pm Saturday 4th February 2012
By Frank Smith »
A double from an unlikely source helped Watford secure another well-earned 2-1 win against Barnsley.
The Hornets captain John Eustace doubled his tally for the season as he scored in either half – the first an acrobatic volley from the edge of the area.
Scott Golbourne set up a tense finish with a goal five minutes from time but it was a deserved three points for Watford.
Both sides named the same starting XI as midweek, with Troy Deeney and Joe Garner again looking to fill the void left by Marvin Sordell’s move to Bolton Wanderers and second-year scholar Sean Murray and Fulham loanee Alex Kacaniklic on the flanks.
Watford were on top for almost the whole of the first half and were first to have a real attempt at goal. After a spell of real pressure, Jonathan Hogg beat his man wide left and whilst he pull back was completely missed by Garner’s wild swing, the ball ended up with Eustace and his placed shot from 20 yards went narrowly wide.
The Hornets were the much better side in the first half an hour and a neat flick from Garner released Alex Kacaniklic on the left and his shot was saved by Luke Steele.
Watford were playing with width and superb play from Lee Hodson saw the youngster get to the byline and pick out Troy Deeney but his header went straight in the air and the ball was claimed by Steele.
Kacaniklic then shot a good five yards wide from a free kick to round off a convincing opening 20 minutes from Watford.
The visitors had to wait until just before the half-hour mark to have their first attempt of note but Scott Loach made light work of Rob Edwards’ header from a Michael Tonge corner.
But it was a rare highlight for Barnsley and Watford took the lead soon after when Murray’s free kick was deflected into the air and from 20 yards, Eustace found the far corner with an acrobatic strike.
The loudest cheer of the half though came in the dying moments when Lloyd Doyley picked up the ball just inside the Barnsley half and attacked the opposing full back. His shot was blocked but any excuse for the chant of “We’ve got Lloydinho.”
There were fewer chances early in the second half. John Eustace’s header wide, when Garner had picked out his run, and Murray’s wayward effort from distance were the only two opportunities of note.
Barnsley could have equalised midway through the half when Eustace didn’t track the run of Andy Gray at a free kick but the striker headed over.
And minutes later the Hornets skipper all but secured another three points when Garner helped on Doyley’s long throw and Eustace bundled his way through the defence to slot home with the outside of his boot.
Watford continued to be the better side and had the next few chances. Murray had a shot blocked, Deeney fired over and then the striker had an effort saved at the near post – after ignoring calls from the unmarked Garner.
The visitors had rarely troubled the Watford backline but poor defending from Korey Smith’s cross allowed substitute Scott Golbourne to smash home inside the box.
Murray shot over not long after and following a surprising five minutes of added time, Watford held on for the victory.

Murray continues to look an exciting prospect and Hodson had his best game of the season. Barnsley are no mugs and Watford closed them down extremely well for the first 80 mins and then backed of too much for the last 10. On the whole a very good , hard working performance and worthy of 3 points.

Barnsley did manage to score with their only real effort on goal after we'd been pretty solid throughout without excelling.
Good goals by Eustace and he worked well with Hogg.
Deeney was decent up front but Garner had a tough time on his own once we made the change to take Alex K off.

Over to you Laurence.
Excellent shift all round. Garner got better in the second half although he doesn't look like a goalscorer. Hogg is superb and seems to have a better understanding now with Eustace which is ideal. Nosworthy never puts a foot wrong and always looks for a pass- it's a miracle we got him really. They fully deserve our respect because they work so hard and there seems to be a great spirit. Well done Sean Dyche, stick with your principles and you'll not go far wrong. Four or five more wins and we'll be comfortable.

Still seem to cruise ahead then defend deeply, that puts pressure on ourselves
But with what Dyche has at his disposal and the prospect of losing any decent talent that he 'nurtures' you have to take your hat off to him

But give him his due, he ran his socks off today & at the end was outjumping Barnsleys big men as we tried to get the ball upfield. He has something in him, but dont think we have seen it all yet.

Still worried where the goals are going to come from,front two ran their socks off but neither has the killer touch in front of goal.
Its a sorry indictment of what's available on the bench that Dyche kept Deeney on for the last 15 minutes when he was treading water..nothing left to give. Sorry Sean,I appreciate all that talk of not necessarily looking to bring in a striker was intended to boost the confidence of the lads we have got already.But once that loan window opens go out and get us a goal scorer...we won't always be saved by Captain John.

Its about time you stopped watching the Afro games and got behind the orns and stop your negative constant posts my Afrikaan friend.
Agreat win and I felt for Garner as the loan striker for most of the second half. The boy done well. Needs a run to gain more confidence. Deeney went on a walkabout second halfand settled as a wing back!!
SD was screaming at him to push up and support JD and if he was knackered he should of been taken off. Big John once again proved to be the man for all occasions.
Forest next week, cant wait.

Once we went 2-0 up, he should have given Yeats a run out and rested Murray - his third senior game in a week. And surely a fresh Iwelumo is better than a centre forward who, as you say, had clearly given his all.
One in the eye for the clowns on here who were calling for JE to be pensioned off. Great effort today, the midfield was awesome never allowing Barnsley a second. NN was outstanding and thought Hodgson had best game of season.

As well as sharing the load, rotating the squad gives the players who come off the bench the chance to show the manager how wrong he was not to give them a start.
Buabin was bright, but the forward threat virtually disappeared, and invited the Barnsley revival. They didn't deserve a draw, but we nearly handed them one.

I admit i am not his big biggest fan but with what he has had to contend with recently having his better players sold from beneath him and on the eve of kick off, i say to Bassini and Graham Taylor BACK YOUR MANAGER now in the loan market he is putting out a team that is doing very well to compete with almost one hand tied behind his back
Just look at how weak our bench was today you appointed Dyche he has done well to keep our/your club competitive SO BACK HIM NOW !

However I agree we need to delve into the loan market and need someone like HH to provide some aerial presence/physicality up front along with some reliable finishing.

"Hill had no complaints about the result, but said of the game: “It was very boring and not great to watch. I thought about getting on the motorway to avoid the storm after 10 minutes. That’s how bad it was."
“I like my football but that resembled rugby. We lost the game and maybe that was down to Watford. They stopped us playing and have plenty of quality.”

"QPR boss Mark Hughes says Heidar Helguson is still likely to play an important role despite the big-money signings of Bobby Zamora and Djibril Cisse.
Veteran forward Helguson is Rangers’ top scorer this season with nine goals but faces stiff competition for his place and is also managing on ongoing groin problem. Hughes, though, insists the Icelander is still very much part of his first-team plans.
He said: “Heidar’s injured at the moment so he’s not available, but when he’s fit he’ll come into the equation. We’ll need a different skills-set against different opposition.

As I'm one of his usual suspects, he could have been making reference to me or indeed anyone who disagrees with his utterly boring tosh.
And to pick up a point from another post, If Doyley was to blame for the goal he should be canned.

We had Buaben who has been impressive albeit a little inconsistent, Yeates who has been a decent signing and is 3rd in the list for Championship Players assists in the current season and Dickinson who has done a decent job for the first half of the season at left back. I think thats the strongest bench we've had for some time to be honest. However I agree we need to delve into the loan market and need someone like HH to provide some aerial presence/physicality up front along with some reliable finishing.

Unfortunately abuse is part and parcel of this forum but please try to remember these are only peoples thoughts and ideas and for the most they are genrally sensible. There is of course the odd post which beyond credibilty!

Good game, not a great game, as we did not have the finish from the top 2 which is a worry in the abscence of MS now, although to be fair they did try, Deeney looks like he needs a rest but we have no viable option for his position and I was surprised at the subs made when we had a better looking bench than we have had for a while! Also big plus for SD to play Murray again as some muppets on here were saying his comments about watching him meant he was about to be dropped, wrong again and you know who you are the usual detractors.
But then why let the truth get in the way of your sanctimonious bull clap
You really are a fine double act
Corny and Mr Magoo
It's a claptrap Corny
And you've been caught
Nah nah nah.

As I'm one of his usual suspects, he could have been making reference to me or indeed anyone who disagrees with his utterly boring tosh.
And to pick up a point from another post, If Doyley was to blame for the goal he should be canned.
Seems being a nice bloke makes you untouchable.

muttondown, why is is tiring to read a response to you post highlighting you were wrong? Oh I see it is because you were wrong I get the zzzzz's now well the truth can hurt I guess (hat eating not answered). As for tangible, wake up and read one of my many posts pointing out plenty of tangibile evidence on Basinni's contributions since his take over or are you suffering from narcolepsy cause you seem to zzzz a lot and miss interesting truthfull facts in comments!
Sanctimonious, boring. Predictable.
And no you have proof of nothing
What can I see? A half finished pub and very little else
Hope like Dyche he PROVES me wrong, but until then I'll choose to treat your PROOF as wishful thinking
