Not an easy fixture at the best of times. And they will not want a 4th defeat in a row, least of all at home. The Grimes saga may also stiffen their resolve. Still think we can win, in the manner of the Blackburn game. Just think the Grimes business has reduced the likelihood. Jamie Allen...

Is he better glue than a fit Sheaf?

at least two west African footballers (Drogba was one) payroll part of their home country's education system)

...the proverbial 'new manager bounce'? At this stage at least

I am outsider on this one. Haven't seen us against Swansea for quite a while for one reason or another. But it looks like - Sheaf is on his way out (and may not fit with what Lampard wants - maybe a quicker style of play). - Grimes is older than Sheaf and apparently a leader. He is (if you...

That makes sense, as a purchase it was so out of line with all SISU's previous recent transactions. I have always wondered

...a better save than the two at Blackburn. A Watford fan (I think) posted a video of it from their end. He gets right down with his balance exactly right, before the strike. Still some reflexes

I think it's called reversion to the mean. When you have a whole lot of apparently random numbers most will cluster around the centre but there will always be outliers, like middlesbrough on the other side. And Swansea for us. There would always be an outliers it just happens to be swansea

One of those will not get regular 1st team so will leave. Sheaf you would think. Allen stays as a good understudy

If we can beat Blackburn who are a lot higher in the table then we must think we have a good chance of a win. Surely. A draw is the minimum requirement. I don't do all that bogey team tosh, even for Preston away let alone Swansea. I would be tempted to go one up front and bring back Tats

We have beaten 3 play off contenders in 6 days and none of them impressed - although in retrospect the Bristol result looks better. The standard this year is really quite poor. But even with the three missing players we need serious upgrades, particularly in defence if we want to play 4-3-3...

Ah Fernando...almost on queue

I am in Block 19 and rarely hear singer's corner. Sometimes I wonder what all the fuss is about - however there was more yesterday inc several good renditions of the Sky Blue Song.

Trouble is we haven't got 4 defenders good enough. We need the extra man to allow for their individual frailties

Bassette is good for an energetic cameo chasing lost causes in the last few minutes in order to protect a one goal lead.....and that's about it at the moment

absolute rubbish. Really put in a shift. BTA was the least effective by some way.

Just back, not had chance to scroll through the thread but my (random) thoughts were 1. Poor, scrappy game, badly refereed against rough unskillful opposition 2. BTA was particularly ineffective. Simms on the other hand at least puts himself about 3. Torp got two goals but otherwise was a mixed...

The last two Watford home games we have had high scoring draws that we should have, quite frankly, lost. 2-0 down and deservedly so, but they failed to close us out and Godden and Sheaf got us back into it. Last year they were the much the better team in a 3-3 draw. I'd like us to score the...

Frank can only play his beloved wingers if he acquires a CDM and a better central defender to play alongside Kitching. If we go two at the back we are going to struggle. We went through this with Robins in League 1 and earlier this season.

If true I am not unhappy. Puzzled by it all along
