a home win under the lights is exactly what was needed to lift the mood at Vicarage Road.
Much like Saturday, there was a sense of mystery as to how Javi Gracia would set up his team.
But unlike our previous fixture, there was finally a feeling of optimism with the presence of youth in the starting line-up, namely Rocco Vata, and an impressive appearance off the bench from Mamadou Doumbia.
While we did still see substitute apperances from the likes of Edo Kayembe, Moussa Sissoko and Tom Ince, the inclusion of exciting, youthful talent in the team had been exactly what the supporters had been calling for.
