It is how we deal with their wingers for me. Hoping Da Costa has another blinder, but a bit worried about him and Sam. Good luck to the lads today, regardless. Watford have a great set of players, but let's hope their new manager confuses the hell out of them. The first 90 minutes will be key imo.

We are missing so many players it would make Daniel Farke weep

Next season. But it’s even been reported he was bought for development. Which means he shouldn’t be challenging. Yet.

Exactly, plus the fee was nominal anyway, they have sell on clauses etc.

Their squad is worth around 180 million

Well I don’t think they are actually worth it in today’s market which is their problem

I'd settle for a 0-0 looking at that team sheet.
Injuries are costing us big time.
Got some very inexperienced lads on the bench, but at least they are getting match day experience.

Probably true, it still exceed 100 mill regardless... We are so far away from that level of power its crazy.

The division is so different to 10 years ago

Mind you looking at Swansea their squad value is 30 million... Whilst we are a mile away from that at the moment it's obviously an effective model they have there... Spending way below the so called bigger clubs

The fact that on our budget and with our injury list we are not in the bottom three (yet) does show that Robins is doing a great job. Looking at just their bench is causing me anxiety! I expect us to get beat comfortably

Liverpool are a better team than Brighton.

We just need to play at high intensity. Get in their faces and put them off their game best we can. All teams have off days, so hopefully Watford aren't firing on all cylinders and we are.

A nice gimme pen for us wouldn't go amiss either.
We’re due one.

Myth about Swansea.
Ayew is the highest paid player in the division on £80k p/w

We’re fucked. Watford manager has just said they’re going to have some good moments today.

Our injuries have definitely hampered us, a club with our recourses simply can't cope with such horrid luck.

I dont think we will win, but I've seen us turn over many a team in the past we shouldn't have

At least when it’s a 3 kickoff my weekend isn’t ruined till 5. Now I’ll have to go around after and pretend it’s all ok. Even worse I’ve mistakenly agreed to a sober weekend and I really fancy drinking.

Watford have had 8 penalties this season, that statistic scares me
