Last night's key moment

[The Mindsweep]

[Rich Tea Wellin]

True. I couldn’t believe their player just watched the ball. Good on Galbraith being aggressive. If their player heads it out it’s game over

[marcho]

[Hoover Attack]

He's right to highlight it, great leap from the little man.

[Real Al]

At my age, after 3 pints and a dodgy burger, I really should stop leaping about like a nutter after a last-minute winner. I nearly passed out.

[Petrov788]

Galbraith is absolute class.

[The Reverend]

That same Northampton bloke got thrown to the floor by Rob Hunt when they were tussling by the ground. Just because someone is big doesn’t mean they are strong.

[banqo]

...and also a great assist by Brandon Cooper.

[PKM]

Love Ruel’s interview where he said Cooper usually smashes it out the ground.
That was some impact substitution by Ruel.
Agree re Galbraith, quality player.
And Ollie O’Neill looks like he could be a fantastic player.
Injuries and, I think, suspension to Brown means RW doesn’t have a lot to choose from v Burton, esp as Ruel and James are carrying knocks.

[Proposition Joe]

Excellent header from Galbraith. One of the real stand ours from last night was how much our young players - including the loanees - were bang up for it and gave absolutely no quarters. Recall Forde launching into a clattering challenge towards the end.

[Hoover Attack]

Next season with Agyei, Graham, O'Neill, Theo, possibly Shaq, Ruel, and a born again Moncs.....

Add an experienced number 9 to that and I can’t imagine there’s a better group at this level. Although Forde, Ruel and Theo might not be here next year.

[PKM]

Assuming we give Theo a new contract and he accepts, from what RW said last evening then we’re not going to see Theo till a decent chunk of next season has already been played.
I hope he makes a full recovery.
Forde would be a great signing.
I wonder if Ruel we sign a new contract? I hope he does.

[Proposition Joe]

I can see Forde staying/being signed permanently. Not done any research into this so happy to be corrected but Watford don't seem to be a club that has much of a pathway for younger players into the first team so his chances there may be limited. Also, good as he is, can't really see another Champ club picking him up and giving him game time, whereas RW clearly rates him and he's become a really valuable player in our excellent young side. Could be good for all parties.

Forde has improved immensely since his first couple of games when I wasn’t impressed.
He looks far more confident now and must have a fair chance of being offered a deal in the Summer.

Forde clearly has a better appreciation of what he has to do for 90 minutes than he did 3 months ago. He would have been stood 30 yards away from some of the defensive positions he took up last night.

It looks like he's going to get double figures this season which at his age makes him a valuable asset. If he was a minimal cost plus a sell-on then I'd be happy to see him on the books.

Think he’s out of contract with Watford at the end of the season.
Guess we may have to pay some compensation due to his age but not sure how that works

True . I watched the highlights this morning and that was a great piece of play from Galbraith .

I know it’s not my money and it’s easy for me to say it but we must break the bank in the Summer to sign El-Miz and Forde on permanent deals. If we want a good shot at promotion next season they are the type of players we need to be signing.

I believe we only have to pay compo if Watford offer him a contract, otherwise he is a free agent.

Forde's first couple of games were - I believe - Blackpool away as sub then Cambridge at home. He was brilliant in both.

[Hoover Attack]

There will be lots of competition for a 19 year old goalscoring wide player.

I'd love it if we sign him - he is replaceable with another loan deal, but that's always a gamble, whereas we know what we will get from him.

[Monkey Boy]

O’Neill’s goal, Brown jumping over the ball has gone unnoticed?

[Hoover Attack]

Amazing dummy.

Another thing about Forde: he hardly ever gets subbed off, and usually does the full 90 or very close to it. Even though he’s a young un, Richie obviously rates him very highly, and I think we can all now see why.
