'Not expecting this' - Watford fans react to Southampton win

[BBC] Watford opened the new Championship season with a 2-1 win over Southampton on Sunday. It provided a positive start to the league campaign for new Hornets boss Alessio Dionisi. We asked Watford fans to send us their views on the performance and result and here is what some of them have had to say: Kevin - A totally refreshing display, probably best in many a season. Defence was organised and strong, something lacking in previous seasons, with flair up front. One swallow doesn't make a summer and previous seasons have shown massive second half of season failure after good start. Mark - A good performance from a young side with lots of new faces. Watford's style of play is a vast improvement from their old sideways and backwards style. Simon - I was surprised how together and well prepared Watford appeared. The new players fitted right in and looked like they had been with the club for a few seasons. I must be honest, I was not expecting this! Joel - If we can marry the sexy football from the first half with the intensity, grit and resilience of the final half-hour, there is plenty to build on. Get the recruitment right, keep that identity and a solid, stable season is absolutely there for us, and the miracle of a manager lasting a full season! Teresa - The first 35+ minutes we were excellent, then we let Southampton in. We were fortunate with the two chances they missed but having said that, we should should have put the game to bed in the first half. Very pleased with the win and two great goals. Yellotoyou - We were fantastic in the first half. In the second we defended well with Mattie Pollock immense at the heart of the defence. No one can argue with the result, the best team won. Terry - Excellent start for the Hornets - a few doom mongers will have egg on their faces. The team look strong mentally and play to a plan which they executed to perfection. Well done Dionisi for the hard work you have put in so far, I just hope the board back you up with the two players we desperately need to complement an excellent squad. Del Boy - Brilliant first half - well worth the lead. It was always going to be backs to the wall once Southampton scored but Watford showed a lot of resilience to see the game out.
