[Paxman II]

Something about Watford's inconsistency, always capable of beating anyone, difficult side to play against. On paper its an easy win but will need to be on our best concentration and level of football we are capable of or a shock could happen.

True at home but they are bottom of the form guide for away games this season.
P 6
W 0
D 2
L 3 inc at Sheff Wed

 

[CV22SBA]

Can’t believe it’s not yet a sell out

Watford currently sold just under 1.3K.

 

[SkyBlueMatt]

Do you think we can get Doug to start pumping in some fake crowd noise for this game?

That math ain’t mathing.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

That math ain’t mathing.

Because it's P5 D2 L3.

Home form they average 1.77 PPG, away just 0.4 PPG, the biggest difference in the league. Norwich are very bizarre:

Home P5 L5
Away P6 W2 D2 L2

Even Watfords defeats are low margin, nothing by more than 1 goal so far. If any team can put that under threat its us but i'll take any kind of win.

Watford currently sold just under 1.3K.

Where is that figure from? they only have 209 seats left on their website.

Watford currently sold just under 1.3K.

They usually bring more than that don't they?

 

[procdoc]

The Woolf and Simms will be unlucky to lose their places but Wright and Sakamoto must come back in

 

[Legia Sky Blue]

Where is that figure from? they only have 209 seats left on their website.

Doing the maths, like with Blackburn it looks like they only took an allocation of 1,500.

Going to miss this game, well pissed off All this excitement over the last month or so has given me palpitation's . So the cardiologist has insisted I have a pacemaker fitted as a matter of urgency. This is the price of over excitement and being a bloody good side . So enjoy the game you luck fucks .

I have to ask will it be digital?

 

[Covcraig@bury]

I have to ask will it be digital?

Not sure , but if they don’t hurry up I will be watching from above 🪽

 

[SleepyGinger]

I think Watford are a better side than their league position suggests

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

Do you think we can get Doug to start pumping in some fake crowd noise for this game?

Can we do requests as well?

I would like 'Fight & Win', please Doug.

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

Upsetting to see the arrogance on here. Will be another tough game.

Ffs it's not arrogance it's Enthusiasm, Optimism.

 

[wingy]

Not sure , but if they don’t hurry up I will be watching from above 🪽

Well best of luck, they usually get a hurry on with those type of things.

Doug can pump anything he wants in my book, he's my hero. I'm a Doug Lover. 🩵

KKH wishing himself a happy birthday on Twitter

Start on Saturday then, check tomorrow's interview?

It’s his brother isn’t it?

 

[TomRad85]

It’s his brother isn’t it?

Seems to have gone with KHK instead. I'd like to know the reasoning behind this.

 

[wingy]

It’s his brother isn’t it?

Oh bother!

 

[JohnWH]

1-0 edgy win. Bobby Thomas's massive forehead from 6 yards out in about thr 45th minute, assist from Torpedo. Also predict we'll wear our home Sky blue kit.

Don't worry about a pacemaker. They're brilliant these days. I've survived 4 x heart attacks, had a double bypass in 2002, and since had 5 stents inserted at various times. I told myself I was going to meet my maker but happily came out all good. Still smoke like a chimney and drink like a fish. Now 72, but I just don't care anymore!

That’s just being greedy

I’d rather have been playing this game a few weeks ago - I watched them on the TV against Millwall and I thought they looked dreadful and wouldn’t have ruled out them being in a relegation battle

Have since got their new (old) manager in Gracia who they seem to like as he did well the first time round with them and is someone they can unite behind so I do think it is a tougher game than it would have been earlier in the season

That being said, I cannot profess to know a single thing about their squad - only ever heard of a couple of them, they just seem to have a new squad every season with a couple of stalwarts like Sissoko and Kayembe thrown in

They're mainly average players with a few good players. They also haven't travelled well with just 2 points away from home so far.

They seem to sit back and hit on the break. They had less than 40% possession at home against WBA. Our defence should be able to cope with their attacks. They've only scored 13 goals in 11 games. We've only conceded 1 goal in over 600 minutes.

 

[PVA]

Keep Louza quiet and we'll win comfortably I think

3-1 I'm going with

Exactly how I feel about them. Watched a chunk of their game against Albion, and they were a mixed bag. Louza is a quality player, and they have what I would class as a few maverick players, who blow either hot or cold. Their strength is their attack, but they are definitely vulnerable at the back. A potential banana skin, and I'm hoping the crowd can get up for this, as these are the type of games we are going to need to win if we want a top 2 spot.

Edit: hoping the extra 24 hours rest, plus the 12.30 ko will give us an added advantage.

 

[Sky Blue Wozza]

1-0 win (Bamford 90+7)

 

[Skyblueweeman]

Just bought my son some ear defenders for tomorrow. Some tears the last couple of visits so hopefully these will help.

I then don't need to worry about the noise of our 3 goals going in ;-)
