Rampant Ryan cashes in

-  MIKE WALTERS

RYAN HEDGES stung Watford as the Hornets clocked up 317 minutes and more than 60 shots without a League goal.

To describe Rovers' narrow win at Vicarage Road as smash-and-grab would be an insult to the Great Train Robbers or Hatton Garden jewel heist.

They stole through the cat-flap and absconded with the loot while Valerien Ismael's forwards were spraying the stands with wayward shooting like dessicated coconut.

It already feels like a lifetime since Ismael's reign began with a four-goal shelling in the first half against QPR on the opening day.

And he has not even made it past August before the first groans of discontent have surfaced in Hertfordshire.
