We asked for your thoughts after Saturday's Championship match between Watford and West Ham.

Here are some of your comments:

Watford fans

Melvyn: It is a reasonable start for a club that were supposedly destined for relegation. We still need defenders and probably a striker if we have any chance at all to do well this season.

Watman83: West Ham didn't look like a team ready for a return to the Prem.

Watford now has a good midfield this season with a solid looking defence. These new players have settled in and have made going to the matches enjoyable. This was my 12 year old daughter's first home game and she wants to come to another match! I hope the doubters about Watford are hopeful now.

Stan: It was a solid performance, shame about one poor lapse in concentration and they swoop up the chance. I think five points from three very tough games is a good start and the beginnings of a decent foundation.

West Ham fans

Nicholas: Nobody plays 4-4-1-1 and scores enough goals. All the top Championship teams are playing 4-2-3-1 and scoring four or five. I know they had loads of possession but that's only because Watford sat back to get a draw. We need to improve quickly or we are not going back up.

Richard: One shot on target, experienced striker on the bench, unconvincing defence. Two home games to come, if we don't get at least four points from them, Nuno should be out of a job by the end of September. Something is wrong with the tactics and coaching.

R A: The whole balance of the team is wrong. Taty and Piroe don't fit together. Piroe needs to play with Orford and Musaka behind him. Nuno's tactics seem utterly mysterious to me.
