PAUL BUTLER: Another to suffer as Watford pinged the ball in at all angles and heights 4
SEAN GREGAN: Just about repelled storming runs of Marlon King but would have been seriously exposed in Premiership 3
MATTHEW KILGALLON: Sound defensively but unable to get forward as much as would have liked. Honours even in duel with James Chambers 5
FRAZER RICHARDSON: Overwhelmed on the right, whether tracking back or pushing up. Half-time casualty and not surprisingly so 2
SHAUN DERRY: Long-haired gladiator overrun in midfield by Matthew Spring and Gavin Mahon. Had header cleared off line but gave away late penalty 3
LIAM MILLER: Once billed as the “new Roy Keane” but not in the same street — and never will be — as his fellow Irishman. Replaced in 62nd minute 3
JONATHAN DOUGLAS: Largely anonymous on the left flank, never able to get in a telling blow. No better than Championship standard, where he will stay next season 2
ROB HULSE: Drove wide from chance early on and flattered to deceive thereafter. Failed to mark Jay DeMerit for opening Watford goal 3
EDDIE LEWIS: Had looked Leeds's best attacking threat in first half. Inadvertently contributed to second Watford goal with deflection 5
SUBSTITUTES
Robbie Blake (for Richardson, 46min): Did better than Richardson — it was not hard to — but still made little impact 4

Eirik Bakke (for Gregan, 84)
SUBSTITUTES NOT USED: Ian Bennett, Steve Stone
BOOKED: Gregan, Miller, Derry
