On The Ball written by Gareth Payne.

Full-Time: Marshall takes a free-kick from inside his box and referee Steve Tanner blows the full-time whistle. A good, big win for City, with an own goal from midfielder Daniel Rose in the first half and a second half header from Gary Doherty securing the points.

90+2: Clingan fires in a low drive from 25 yards that has Loach worried but goes a yard wide.

90+1: Sub Jack Cork is booked for a rash challenge. Clingan's free-kick is claimed by Loach.

90th: Minimum of four minutes of time to be added on at the end of the second half.

87th: Tommy Smith tries a cheeky lob that Marshall has to backpeedle to tip over for a corner. McAnuff's flag-kick is headed clear by Lee and Croft is held back trying to break.

86th: A double change by Gunn Ryan Bertrand goes down injured and is replaced by Adam Drury and Alan Gow is withdrawn for Simon Lappin.

84th: Clingan's right-wing corner is met powerfully again by Shackell, headed down into the ground and bounces up onto the crossbar, down and Doherty is on hand to head home.

83rd: Marshall punches clear a McAnuff corner and sets Gow off down the left, switch to Croft on the right and he attacks his man, with his shot taking a deflection for a corner,

80th: Alan Lee was wheeling away in celebration in front of the Norwich and Peterborough Stand thinking he had his first goal for City at Carrow Road but it is chalked off for offside. Russell charged down Doyley's clearance and Croft and Lee scampered off after it and the Irishman won the race, took a touch, steadied himself and finished with aplomb but the assistant's flag was already up.

78th: Corner from the right taken by McAnuff but Lee rises to head clear.

77th: Gow cuts in off the right-flank to hit a left-footed shot that is blocked by Doyley and loops up into the arms of Loach.

74th: Clingan's right-wing corner is met powerfull by Shackell but Jon Harley clears off the line with his right foot/knee.

73rd: Lee wins City a corner, close touch and runs his man down but his cross is headed behind at the near post.

71st: Mooney goes down under DeMerit's challenge but Watford get the free-kick, the Irishman looks bemused as he gets to his feet to see the decision goes against him.

69th: Lee showing pace and power to drive past the Watford defence and let fly a left-footed hammer drive that cannons back off the post. Gow picks up the loose ball but is blocked on the edge of the area, so Lee resumes possession. He cuts inside on his right foot and fires in another shot that this time goes narrowly wide. Shackell throwing himself in front of a Tommy Smith shot set that chance up.

67th: Smith gets in a cross from the right and Doherty and Marshall both leave it at the near post and luckily Will Hoskins had stopped expecting the ball to be cut out and it flashes across the face of the City goal.

66th: Today's attendance is the highest at Carrow Road this season, 25,487. Carney swings in a cross from the right, left-footed that DeMerit heads clear but only as far as Sammy Clingan, who takes it on first time, but flashes wide of Loach's left-hand post, who was scrambling.

65th: Lee gets sucked under the corner and DeMerit puts his free header wide.

64th: Shackell's slide blocks Smith cross and Watford have a corner from the right that Smith himself will take.

59th: Alan Lee is spoken to by referee Tanner and just to calm himself down after appealing for a free-kick, but it is a throw-in to City.

56th: Darel Russell plays in Alan Gow, timing his run to perfection down the left channel and the forward on loan from Rangers flashes a left-footed shot just wide of Loach's far post.

55th: Alan Lee goes in the referee's notebook for persistent fouling after bringing down Adrian Mariappa near the Watford byline.

49th: Jenkins feeds Hoskins inside the area, his back-flick finds the run of Smith but he skews his effort over the bar from 14 yards.

Watford will make a change with Jack Cork on loan from Chelsea replacing Daniel Rose, on loan from Tottenham Hotspur.

The teams re-emerge from the tunnel for the second half. Watford wearing their change kit of red will restart the match with City kicking towards the Norwich and Peterborough Stand in this second half.

45+2: Gow is played into a tight spot on the left but dances past three, Mariappa does well to get back and win the sliding tackle. Clingan's corner delivery from the left is too strong and referee Steve Tanner blows for half-time.

45+1: Carney's inswinger corner is dropped by Loach, falling over and is awarded a free-kick.

45th: Two minutes to be added on at the end of the half.

43rd: Jason Shackell is booked for checking Daniel Rose in full flight just outside the area. Tommy Smith touches the free-kick off to Jobi McAnuff to strike but Shackell charges it down.

42nd: Mooney is played in, one-on-one wide on the right, just onside, goes to ground with the 'keeper and Loach wins the challenge and Mooney comes off worse in the tackle, catching the stopper's studs in his chest.

41st: Corner played short and Carney's cross is headed away at the near post. Ball breaks to Russell who looks to bend one but too strong and over.

40th: Alan Gow drives a low effort in from 25 yards that Loach at full stretch tips behind for a corner.

39th: Clingan's corner from the left is cleared away inadvertently by Gary Doherty.

38th: Otsemobor fronts up his man wide on the right, three turns and he creates himself a yard of space, lays it back for Gow who cuts in on his left-foot and bends one that is flicks off a Watford defender's head and away for a corner.

36th: Darel Russell does well to track the run of Daniel Rose and intercept the intended pass but concedes a corner in the process. McAnuff's corner is headed behind for another. The winger goes over to the left to deliver this one. Hanging delivery that Marshall comes to claim with ease.

34th: McAnuff with a Watford corner from the right, Lee rises highest to head clear. Carney's long ball looking for Mooney is overhit.

33rd: Throw-in looking for Lee's head and cleared behind for another City corner from the right. Carney's delivery is claimed under pressure from Shackell by Loach.

31st: Carney's attempted cross is blocked by Lloyd Doyley and the Australian will take this corner from the right. Left-footed from the right, clears Shackell making the near post run but Mooney coming in behind can only hip the ball wide from close range.

25th: Hoskins rattles the City bar with an thunderous right-footed effort from just outside the edge of the box, Marshall may have got fingertips on that to deflect it.

20th: More City pressure, Clingan slides a ball into the area for Gow to turn on, held up by his marker and Watford can snuff out the danger.

17th: Free-kick for a foul on Mooney, wide on the right, 22 yards from goal, just in from the touchline. Clingan delivers right-footed, inswinger, Mooney goes up for the header but only glances it, he doesn't make enough contact and it goes harmlessly wide of the far post.

16th: More penalty shouts waved away, Mooney is tugged back inside the area looking to latch on to Lee's flicked header but again nothing doing from referee Steve Tanner.

15th: City lead! An element of fortune to it, David Carney slips Otsemobor in centrally and Daniel Rose attempting to get back and tackle, sliding in, manages to loop it up and over Loach and into the far corner.

14th: Gow and Mooney stride forward and the striker on loan from Reading sees an effort from just outside the edge of the area blocked.

13th: Corner to Watford from the right, flat from Jobi McAnuff, but Mike Williamson, the tall centre midfielder is there to flick it on and after some pinball City can clear.

12th: Scott Loach comes to claim just oustide his six-yard box and sets Watford away, Rose is played in down the middle but Otsemobor does well to cover across and win the tackle, the full-back blocks the follow-up effort.

11th: The third likewise, this one a better delivery, Mooney and Shackell fighting for it but headed behind. Clingan to deliver the fourth from the left, inswinger and again headed behind. Clingan to take number five, in a row.

10th: Clingan plays a perfectly weighted pass inside the winger for Otsemobor, but Harley does well to challenge as he looks to skip inside. Carney delivers two corners from the right that are headed behind.

9th: Tommy Smith leads a breakaway down their left and crosses but Jason Shackell does brilliantly to win the aerial challenge.

4th: Another free-kick for a foul on Russell. Clingan again delivers, half-cleared, Russell chests down the loose ball and fires in a half-volley that is blocked, more shouts for handball.

3rd: Free-kick to City 40 yards out, just left of centre, Clingan floats one to the back of the area looking for Doherty but DeMerit wins the challenge, loud shouts of handball but nothing given.

1st: David Mooney is played in down the right channel, he wins the sliding tackle against the tall Jay DeMerit, bears down on 'keeper Scott Loach but he does well to block the intended cross for Alan Gow unmarked centre of the goal.

Darel Russell and Sammy Clingan get us underway with City attacking the Barclay End first half. A minute's applause is fantastically honoured, to mark the passing of former winger Jimmy Neighbour.
