There's only one team in yellow – and it's Watford
The one thing that all supporters know by now is that Watford never do anything the easy way.
It is becoming a familiar tale that sees the Hornets concede – usually early – and yet find a way to come away with points.
And Watford’s 3-2 win against Norwich City was no different.
The victory made it 18 points gained from losing positions so far this season – and while the rollercoaster of emotions is certainly fun when it ends positively, it is a trend that cannot continue if we are to position ourselves as serious play-off contenders.
There are few things that are certain in football but one that is becoming all too familiar is the inevitable Josh Sargent goal for the Canaries when they face Watford.
But once we got that out the way – and the less said about the visitor’s second the better – there were positives to take.
While the early stages of the season were dominated by praise for Imran Louza, supporters are finally able to applaud the work of others.
The return of Giorgi Chakvetadze, a headed double from the giant Luca Kjerrumgaard and Othmane Maamma showcasing his youthful, fearless talent are all to be celebrated.
And a word on Jeremy Ngakia. He has had his critics – often rightly so – but the full-back has improved defensively this season and more than stepped up in the attacking third.
Putting together a string of positive results has raised the spirits of the fan base and raised the side up the Championship table.
While we consistently seem to find ourselves floating around the mid-table mark, the points gap to the play-offs is becoming ever smaller.
We are only three points away from a top-six slot, with a midweek fixture against Sheffield Wednesday to come – something that on paper should hopefully see us climb even higher.
But one thing that is for certain after the weekend’s action is that there really is only one team in yellow.
