Drove to work Tuesday morning in the anticipation that Watford normally struggle to get past the first and second rounds of the Carling Cup by virtue of the fact that they normally play a reserve / youth side!
10 changes to the starting eleven at Wolves the saturday before but no trouble getting past a woefully inadequate Gillingham side.
The Hornets threatened to make life difficult for themselves when Tamas Priskin held a gillingham player and gave away a penalty. Fortunately Mulligans penalty was one of the poorest i've seen for a while and Keeper Richard Lee was able to save it.
Priskin made ammends for his penalty misdemeanour by nodding home at the near post shortly afterwards to put Watford 1-0 up. Brazillian Douglas Rinaldi slotted home a free kick to make it 2-0 before the break as the hornets hardly broke into a sweat.
The biggest feature of the second half was Left Winger Anthony MacNamee's persistent terrorism of the Gilingham right back Nicky Southall, turning him way and then the other with monotonous regularity. I would expect Southall to be suffering from some form of post traumatic stress disorder today having had a restless night replaying the events of that second half!!!!!!
It was fitting that a MacNamee cross was finished by the wonderfully named youngster Allesandro Campana to make it 3-0!
Again another thoroughly entertaining night out and only for a tenner as well!
Thats 3 live games this week and three straight wins! I appear to be on a roll!!!!!!!
