If Omari had been subbed at the same time it would have been an even weaker second half. But to put so much weight on those young shoulders is a bit much as well. Not that I blame McKenna, I think our success this season is also the cause of out problems, it has been draining for many of our players. |  |

Right before the substitutions did you notice omari look at the bench, head the corner away and then sprint to halfway to close down the player who received the clearance?
He was saying to mckenna i don't want to come off and look how fit i am. And to be fair, he looked sharp for the full 90. Class act. |  |

I think a lot of the problem is managers on the touch line. If they had a box in the stands they could analyse the game from a more remote and calm perspective like us. More rational decisions would follow. SBR used to watch from the stands for long periods. | | | |

I thought other than a brief spell in the first half he was pretty poor in an attacking sense. He didn’t seem to have a clue what runs to make. We looked miles better with Omari on the right with Clarke overlapping. [Post edited 10 Apr 23:13]

Yes really, look at some of the runs he made and balls he put into the box tonight. If anything his problem is that he is so fast that the rest of the attack are still catching up. | |

I don't agree with that.
First 15-20 minutes of the second half we were really poor, and Jackson wasn't involved at all. Once the subs had settled we had all of the momentum in the game, bit unfortunately Watford were getting more and more rigid and compact with their defending, so chances just weren't coming. |  |

You have a point about the start of the second half but, then again, he took some time to get involved in the first half and was at his strongest twenty minutes in until half time. Maybe it needs the rest of the team to position themselves and wrong foot the opposition for a while before the space opens up for Jackson to exploit. I don't think he had run out of steam but McKenna has his plan for the game and undoubtedly know better than us how things might turn out so a slight change of approach was his decision. As you say, Watford adapted to our substitutions quite well as part of their overall aim to quieten us down. | |
