Well, it's been a busy little time again and as these games are well past I'm not going to bore you with an in depth recap.  I'd rather talk about the interesting conundrum of why Rovers can have two strikers scoring 19 (Rhodes) and 20 (Gestede) goals and yet be miles (12 points) off the playoffs.

"The defense is sh*t!!!" I hear you cry... but I don't think that you can say that things are that straightforward.  Yes, we have conceded 5 goals more than anyone in the playoffs but Brentford have conceded 4 more.

I would rather point at the lack of goal scorers.  Now, before you storm off  thinking I'm talking piffle just hear me out on this....

If you compare Watford's top six goal scorers to Rover's:

Blackburn Rovers

1 Rudy Gestede 20
2 Jordan Rhodes 19
3 Ben Marshall 6
4 Joshua King 4
5 Chris Taylor 3 1 4
6 Alex Baptiste 0 3 3


Watford

1 Troy Deeney 20
2 Odion Ighalo 20
3 Matej Vydra 14
4 Almen Abdi 9
5 F  Forestieri 5
6 Daniel Tozser 5

After the top two goal scorers you have Watford's team scoring 33 goals to Rover's 17, nearly twice as many.  In contrast, Watford have only conceded 6 fewer goals in defense a far less significant statistic tactically.  The trouble Rovers have is that opponents know that if you stop Rovers' strikers you stop Rovers. And that is something that Rovers need to address next season.
