Age and injuries mean you’re probably right. We’ve got away with not having anyone that can do that job properly. Joseph still has potential to grow into a better player to lead the line and hold the ball up.

Spot on.
Bamford was one of the best at holding the ball up and leading the line in his peak.
Have to say had Bamford fluffed the chances Piroe and Joseph had tonight I would be slagging him off up hill and down dale.
An ugly 3 points tonight and with 5 of the other 6 games finishing as draws that`s a good 2 points gained over those teams.

should have been more comfortable but that’s the championship for you. Midweek games are always tricky. It’s just about getting the points

traffic was absolute chaos. 90 minutes to drive around 16 miles from tad to park up

Results over performance for these midweek games, but I was disappointed with our lack of intensity in our duels, their goal being the prime example, but we won't play many teams as physically strong as Watford every week.

Hopefully Ramazani's injury isn't too bad, but I'd put James in if he's out. I also thought Joseph did enough to deserve a start in the next game, he gives us so much more mobility up front that Piroe just can't.

Tanaka was really good again, he's a premier league level player IMO
