Edmonds-Green: Kept Gray quiet enough with a disciplined, controlled display. Coming along nicely. 7

N Sarr: Assigned with leadership in the backline and did not disappoint. 7

Toffolo: Up against two forces down Watford's right in Ismaila Sarr and Jeremy Ngakia, but the Town defender is not someone who is easily cowed. Typically tenacious and all-action. 7

Hogg: The heartbeat as per usual and performed the bits and pieces role adeptly, as always, Selfless and strong. 8
