I HAVE no doubt the entire Watford team will have spent last night biting their finger nails watching City.
Whether they were sat at home, or watching together in a hotel, the Watford players will have spent a lot of nervous energy urging on Bristol.
They will be happy with what they saw and the result – but the Tigers still edged another point ahead of them, and with a seven-point gap, it is now their turn to see if they can handle the pressure.
They now play twice before City are next in action, and there is still a good chance that the Tigers will be promoted before they face Barnsley on Saturday.
I've heard suggestions from some fans that would spoil it a little, as they would rather City went up at Barnsley so they can celebrate with the players.
Trust me, that's nonsense. All that matters is getting promotion, it doesn't matter how it comes, and I'd take going up watching other results today.
Watford face a massive week now, playing Blackburn today and then Leicester on Friday, so let's see if they have got the bottle for it.
They'll be kicking themselves now at how they allowed the Tigers to re-establish a big lead over them having won at the KC to close within a point at the start of the month.
That recent form suggests to me that they have not been handling the pressure well and are struggling.
When we went up to the Premier League we went to Ipswich knowing we needed a win to have a chance of automatic promotion.
The difference back then was we had come from nowhere to give ourselves a chance of getting promotion, whereas Watford have been in contention for some time.
We didn't feel the pressure back then like Watford will now, because we were happy with a play-off place.
Maybe because of the situation they find themselves in Watford will already be settling for the play-offs – and worrying that their great season could dwindle away.
