A tough day at the office. Let down by defending for some of the goals. Got a hand to Bayo's second but couldn't keep it out.

Saw an early header saved brilliantly by Hamer. Fell apart defensively in the second half as Watford carved through at will.

Recovered well to heroically block Bayo's shot after he rounded Woodman. Slightly caught out for Watford's first half leveller. Made way just before the hour.

Played a lovely pass to Millar which led to Keane's goal. The second half was a disaster defensively and the Scot was poor for some of Watford's goals.
