Match Thread Watford vs. Coventry City Match Thread - Tuesday 27th Aug (1 Viewer)

Would like to see Bapaga given a run out in this one, maybe even alongside Bremang, see what they can do. Anticipating a slightly rotated team, probably a loss but wouldn't be too down hearted as it gives us more time for rest in a busy schedule

On paper it seems like a good time to play them, 3 games lost, manager under threat.

It would be a big risk for Garcia to play kids, I think he will put out a strong team to try kick start their season.

It would be nice to have a cup run but I'm not that fussed, 2 nil Watford

Is it sold out yet

I know it sounds mad but I fancy us for this! I don’t think there will be massive changes as MR has already hinted that money from a cup run will help in January. They haven’t started well and confidence must be high in our squad.

So a heavy loss then?

Rather play the Experienced first team players than the Kids as they will run their bollox off! The experienced ones are in the doldrums at the moment and if we score firt we could go on and win it.

Strongest side please. Good chance of an upset.

Dabo McFadz Rose Mason
O’Hare Kelly Shipley
Jobello Godden Hiwula

torn on this one, not really bothered about the cups and think some of the players who included in your starting 11 need a rest.
However, given MRs comments about needing a cup run to generate income if we could swing an upset and get one of the big boys away in the next round the cash boost could be season defining.

I hope Kasteneer starts and O’Hare, Dabo back too, will be tough, Watford have some real pace through their team. Bapaga and Bremang ? Can’t see that too young, perhaps the check a trade later.

As long as we don't get turned over I will be happy dont want to waste my night tracking down there conceding 4 then traveling home to be in work at 8am.

I think we may as well play a pretty strong team. After next Saturday they can have a week rest because the midweek game is checkatrade. As above I’d start Kastaneer to see where he is. Maybe give biamou some minutes and Wakefield too. We should go for the win with big away support and them on poor form- could get a big boy in the round after!

I think good opportunity to rest players but still be bloody strong as some senior players not had that much game time.

I'd go with following

Wilson
Mason
Hyam
MacFadzean
Dabo
Kelly
Shipley
O'Hare
Kastaneer
Jobello
Godden

Subs
Marosi, mccallum, rose, Westbrooke, Allen, baka, hiwula

Will be strongest team imo. Robibs will try win

It would be nice to give Godden a rest because he’s worked his socks off last few games and looked shattered second half yesterday but the replacements just aren’t good enough.

I’d put Biamou ahead of Baka but it seems Robins has had a bit of a fallout with him.

I think Watford will play a strong team, and MR will want to as well, albeit with a few rested. I'd also give Kastaneer a start. I'll go 3-2 Watford or lost on pens

__________Wilson
Dabo___Rose___Hyam___Mason
_O'Hare___Kelly___Eccles
_Jobello__Godden__Kastaneer

Subs: Marosi, McCallum, McFadz (if fit), Shipley, Westbrooke, Hiwula, Baka

I think on balance I’d rather play players when we’ve got a big game now that could impact club finances than a potential game later. We can always rest players later in the season when some of our current injuries are back.

I'd be tempted to leave out anyone who has a niggle or genuinely needs a rest. Some players looked dead on their feet at the end of Tuesdays game and playing in the heat yesterday can't have helped.

But apart from that play the strongest side we can and try and get through to the next round.

Wouldn’t mind being knocked out by a modest 2-0 or something. Just don’t want a thumping. Best time to be playing them as well.

Of course I’ll be there.

I feel we should rest some of our starters and rotate our squad. Maybe we could try a 4-4-2 lineup of Wilson, Dabo, Hyam, Rose, McCallum, Jobello, O'Hare, Westbrooke, Kastaneer, Bakayoko and Biamou. Subs: Kelly, McFadzean, Shipley, Godden, Marosi, Mason, Hiwula, Bapaga

I don't think MR will want to start messing with the formation for one game.

Hope your cold gets better soon

We will put out a good side with a couple of experiments, if Robins is true to form. More game time for Hyams, Dabo, Chicago and Kastaneer. Rest for Hiwula. Eccles appears to be top of the queue.
Marosi
Dabo Hyam Rose Mason
O'Hare Kelly Eccles
Jobello Godden Kastaneer

Or something like that

I thought that but @chiefdave watched the last round on iFollow I believe.

Kastanner to start for Hiwula or Jobello for me give O’Hare a start for Westbrooke,Dabo back at right back keeping the rest as it is we can beat them

Marosi

Dabo
Hyam
Rose
Mason

Westbrooke
Kelly

Kastaneer
O’Hare
Hiwula

Baka

That’s just based on my guesses at who might be tired. Godden might want the minutes to keep his match fitness up. I’d like to see Bucky played as a 10 and its the perfect chance to revert back to last year’s system for a game. Wakefield’s cameo yesterday might have done enough so get him another appearance of the bench.

Certainly did. I thought it might have been a test run as the first game at St Andrews didn’t work but all the graphics were changed from EFL to Cup, weird when it’s not supposed to be streamed anywhere.

Not much to tell. I logged on to listen to the commentary because I was too lazy to get up and turn the radio on! The video option was there so I clicked it expecting it not to work and it was a feed of the match complete with CWR commentary. Assumed that everyone else had got the same thing but apparently not.
