    Utterly brilliant. If you don't leave your Premier League superiority at the gates when you come to Oakwell, what happened today is likely to keep happening.

    Good lads. I am proud.

    Dare I say it, fantastic defensive performance in that second half. Didn't do much at the other end but pressed them relentlessly into hopeful long balls easily mopped up by the back 3. Fantastic. Not one effort on target in the game for Watford.

    Excellent game management. Might have said differently if they'd nicked it in the last minute though :D

    We played as a team, for each other. Chaplin was immense at times in defence. I knew I was right to have a good feeling about our new gaffer!

    A victory based more on ‘spirit’ and sweat than ability, but that’s brilliant to see.

    “New manager bounce” feels good! Let’s hope it can continue for a while longer.

    Good team performance and a great result. Still things to work on and areas to strengthen, obviously, but I'm very pleased with the way we've gone about these last two games. Makes me think we could take a mid-table spot without too much trouble.

    Quite scrappy victory, but you can't play brilliant attacking football all the time. Plus we were due a bit of luck at the back after some of the goals we've conceded especially Bristol city

    Exactly, it looks like Valerian has brought some magic beans with him :)

    cracking result. grinding out scrappy 1-0 wins is essential to surviving in the champ. great start

    What a defence. For the second game running, Jack Walton could've played in a suit. I was so impressed with Sollbauer, Helik, Andersen, Brittain & Oduor. But Callum Styles was simply superb. What a player he is. Alex Mowatt's goal wasn't too bad, either(!):D

    Jack Walton had a good game too though, quick off his line to claim every inbound cross and through ball. Made it easier for the defence. Good defensive performance all round!

    Got away with that one. Watford created less than sod all.

    A lot more than 18 million mate. That Sarr alone cost them 32 million.

    I been critical of Walton, but his grip on the ball from various crossing was great, needs to improve at corners but overall well done young Jack

    This post of yours makes no sense. Not that I care tonight.
