Well the good times are back at ER , after the dross of last season and 3 draws this , we returned to winning ways, and how. It will never make up for the play off final humiliation but yesterday put Watford back in their box. We hammered them totally outclassed them from start to finish and 3-0 flattered them. We did it with some lovely football and very good goals, and Georginio was at the heart of it all, fast becoming a fan favourite with his step overs , fancy footwork and a huge smile on his face. Not worth £30m ( very few , if any, are) but looking an excellent and exciting player at this level. Watford were as poor a side as i have seen for many a season but we made them look worse as Ampadu and Kamara ( looking a good buy on this evidence) totally dominated possession and the midfield battle, allowing our flair players to shine, Georginio, Summerville and James , with 2 assists - would have been 3 but Georginio missed a sitter and perhaps should have had a penalty after being put through by an amazing ball by Piroe , end product at last- did indeed shine, and Piroe showed he is going to score loads The defence was solid Byram and Shack marauding forward at times and busy throughout , Cooper and Struik mopped everything up and Meslier, such a change after being bombarded with shots, most of which he failed to save, last season, got out of his deckchair and put out his cigar ( so easy had his afternoon been) to pull off a great save right at the end to keep a 4th, count them, 1 2 3 4 clean sheet. Jaiden Anthony came on to top the afternoon off with 2 bits of skill, beating 2 players and having a shot saved, then running onto Georginio' s brilliantly weighted through ball to finish with aplomb , who the f is Sinisterra? A great afternoon, a bit nervy first half when a miss by Georginio , a disallowed goal by the same player, and good saves from Ampadu and Summerville 3 times, had us wondering if this would be a repeat of the Sheff Wed game. A great first goal , another to " copy and put in the book " settled nerves, Georginio beat 2 players, fed James who ran forward and picked out Piroe, stood where the best goal hangers stand and he finished from a yard out. If the result was ever in doubt that changed 3 minutes later when a James corner was well met by Byram who headed home from the penalty spot.Then the icing on the cake- Georginio got the ball in midfield beat a few defenders with an audacious step over and other fantastic footwork to then feed Anthony who fired home We knew August would be a car wreck, but we came through it relatively unscathed in terms of results, and now have a team and manager who we can grow to love and who, on recent showings, have enough quality and strength in depth to really tear up this league. We won easily yesterday without Gray and Rodon ( along with Ampadu) our players of the season, and without Gnonto. We have still not seen Cresswell this season or Bamford, and Gruev is still waiting to start, plus Spence Things are looking good and Farke cotinues to impress. Happy times are back at ER
