Overjoyed with the result - always good to beat my neighbours.
We played well and deserved it.
A couple of thoughts through the victory glow though.
The current / new manager at Watford is pretty unpopular already.
He has got results despite his management performance I am told.
Yesterday, the Watford set up was all wrong - it was as if they had never watched QPR play.
They allowed us to get on the front foot from the off and they let us play our own game.
He did not pick wide players but instead played Will Hughes, a great box to box, out on the left - they were very narrow.
Our full backs have been woeful, but they were invited to put in cross after cross and slowly but surely both grew in confidence.
Warburton had one of his best games, every substitution worked for him, including putting Willock on to play wide and torment.
By contrast, every Watford substitution worked against them.
When Hughes was replaced, they lost what little energy they possessed.
Friend of mine texted me before kick off and said that if the game goes like other home games, QPR would dominate, Watford would smother, then Deeney would score the inevitable penalty.
Watford to win one nil.
There was a point last night when I was incredulous.
Blackburn will be very tough.
I have seen them play a couple of times recently and they are bang in form with Bradley Dack back from injury.
A draw would be a decent outcome, but please do not lose at home Rangers.
But 10 point from the last 4 away games feels realy nice.
