The journey down to Wembley, bar a few hold ups on the M40 was a good one, our fans on our coach were all in good voice. Wembley itself was only a short walk away from where the coaches were parked up. The walk up Wembley way was an experience that will live long in my memory., i did this earlier on this season for the Spurs game, but to be there with my Dad and one of my sister's was something else.
Having already been to Wembley this season to see Wolves beat Spurs, the view from the lower tier then wasn't the greatest. We were in block 505 yesterday, on the front row and above club Wembley. My view was good, but at times at a distance. The mosiac before kick-off was good to see and even the flags being wave by the Watford supporters looked good. I did think for a stadium that size it was often difficult to get all our fans singing together, the sound often travelled. I also have to say the occasion brought out quite a few 20+ year old fans with no respect for their fellow fans when asked to sit down when blocking other people's view. We were fine on the front row.
As for the game itself, in my eyes we started the better and created openings, to go 2-0 up without Watford barely causing any sort of threat to Ruddy in the Wolves goal. Doherty, Jota and Jimenez caused Watford no end of problems. The game changed for me once Deulofeu came on and pulled one back for Watford. His effort left Ruddy stranded. Once they got that back, i just thought Watford had the momentum. I've only seen the penalty back once, i think it's a soft one, but i can see why it was given. It's not good conceding so late in any game, but in this one, in added time made it feel a lot worse.
If there was to be a winner, i just felt Watford looked the fresher of the two sides, i won't begrudge them their winner. I just with Cavaleiro could have done better with his chance in the dying minutes of the second half of added time.
Questions were asked about the subs Nuno used, i just feel Jota had nothing left in the tank. A lesson required is that we need stronger options from the bench next season.
It wasn't to be, we have had a great couple of seasons under Nuno, top ten in the premier league and an fa cup semi-final in our first season back. I would've taken that at the beginning of the season. I just hope our season doesn't fade now.
