Jonny Drury's Watford v West Brom notebook

There are some seriously grim conditions this evening at Vicarage Road - as Albion search for their first away win of the season.

It will in fact be their first win since Blackpool last season, and it is much needed.

The former boss Valerien Ismael is in the opposition dugout tonight, so one thing is for sure Albion know Watford will be hard to break down.

All eyes, as always will be on the team sheet. Carlos Corberan has insisted Jeremy Sarmiento will start one of the two games this week and for me, it'll be tonight rather than Millwall.

If I had to predict, it'll be up to three changes tonight with a busy game week ahead.

Team news

Were you surprised? I have to say I was to an extent.

It isn't shocking but I thought he may mix it up and try and keep things as fresh as possible back at home on Saturday.

Sarmiento will be the one that will get people talking, but what we know is that he will start on Saturday.

There are good options again off the bench but a lack of a striker to come from the sidelines is going to increase the pressure on Brandon Thomas-Asante.

It also means there will be an expectation for goals to come from other areas of the pitch.

Another one I thought we may see is Pipa. Fresh and a different dimension.

Hopefully we see him off the bench at some point.

Half time

And breathe! Christ, what an opening. Albion shot themselves in the foot, again, as Ince curled in a beauty to open the scores.

But within minutes Albion dug in and got themselves level. Swift curled in a marvellous free kick before a Furlong cross was met by Wallace.

It was a terrific finish from the out of form winger, who took it like a striker. An option in this striking crisis?

On a serious note, good to see him get that goal and get into a really good area. He has looked lively in patches too.

The Watford second was again preventable but a super finish nonetheless.

However, ball retention from both sides has been utterly woeful. And from Albion's point of view, they have really thrown a grenade in there twice and could have conceded two more.

It needs to be sharper, but there have been good signs - and it has been entertaining.

Full time

Thriller that wasn't it? A massive lack of quality and some mistakes in possession for both sides, but a lot was to do with the conditions.

An awful lot was not and that needs to be worked on.

How do we look at the game then? Much to be improved but it was entertaining and it could have gone either way if we are honest.

BTA has had a massive chance as has Darnell Furlong, and it could have been so different.

On balance though, fair point.
