For some reason Three Counties Radio was not working today, but Suffolk Radio gave me the visiting broadcasters’ view of the match.
A series of free kicks for the Hornets early on paid off in the eighth minute as Henri Lansbury converted the opportunity from 30 yards out to put Roy Keane’s side down a goal early in the match.
The Hornets came close to a second goal 25 minutes later when an excellent Lloyd Doyley cross lead to a Heidar Hulguson header off the crossbar.
A chastened Ipswich came out firing in the second half, enticing a foul & yellow card from John Eustace.
Watford continued to control the match until just past the hour mark when a rebound off a Scott Loach save was left-footed into the net by Jack Colback from six yards out to even the match.
Fresh legs in the form of Danny Graham contributed an assist to Will Hoskins who found the net to put the Hornets back in the lead with twelve minutes left. Hoskins gamely carried on after injuring himself on the goal, but was replaced a few minutes later by Ross Jenkins.
Keane swapped out his strikers for fresh legs and Malkey Mackay did the same to bolster his defense as Ipswich hurled themselves at the Hornets in an effort to equalize, but Watford came away with a much-needed three points.
Baffled by Daylight Savings Time once again, I joined the match an hour early, but now that I have it sussed, I can say the next match is at Cardiff City next Sunday, March 21, kickoff is at 10 am St. Louis time.
