    Our midfield - do we have problems?

    Yeah, early days. Sheaf and Eccles were very good last week but unfortunately struggled as a pair today, a lot due to Watford’s press and our apparent unwillingness to change our style. Our wing backs showed we’ll have threats/creativity from different areas this season.

    Did Robins say if he told them to play it a bit longer when he could see their press causing us issues ?

    Ratings v watford

    He put himself about a lot today. With a bit of luck with final passes being finished off and/or a bit more composure in front of goal, it could’ve been his best game for us.

    I was more concerned with how leaky we were today. Looked a lot more creative than v Sunderland

    Ratings v watford

    I thought the stand out players were Dasilva, MVE, Palmer and Wright. Quality goal by MVE. Wright looked a lot more dangerous and lovely finish by Godden.

    Match Thread Watford (h)

    Yep. It was so frustrating as I thought we had the beating of them, just needed to stop putting teammates in the shit at the back and middle of the park. What was frightening was watford were most dangerous from our long throws and corners !!! Again, we’ll get that sorted. Some sloppy passing...

    Match Thread Watford (h)

    Oggy had it spot on from what I heard, you need far better decision making when teams are pressing like that and to change it up. That should be coming from management Go long now and then, get it down the channels, put them on the back foot so they can’t press in the same way. A lot of young...

    Match Thread Watford (h)

    Certainly when we can’t control it or make a simple pass without putting a team mate under pressure. It was all way too casual If teams are pressing like that we have to mix it up I don’t think I’ve seen Eccles and sheaf have games like that in the middle of the park and ayari gave the ball...

    Transfer targets

    I still think you stick ohare (maybe ayari but hard to comment) ahead of those two and we’re a different beast. That’s not knocking Palmer but it’s combinations of players sometimes. Eccles and Sheaf have obviously been told covering defence/playing safe is their primary responsibility in...

    Hmmm, yeah…not sure about his ‘I was secretly squirrelling it away in a trust for Ricky and his family’ argument The non payment/incorrect payment of billy graham was disgusting. Ricky comes across as a decent guy though. *Spoiler alert* I was hoping the end would be him and billy meeting up

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Healthcare is one of the many areas…worth reading the article. I avoided comparisons with countries for the reasons you mention, depends on how their economy is made up though I guess. Either way growth/recovery was a lot stronger than originally thought which is positive news

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Agreed. I can’t see it being anything other than big unless there’s a dramatic economic turnaround between now and the election….or a monumental fuck up/implosion by Labour

    Yeah, said to my mate that I thought Ward Prowse would be a great signing for West Ham at 30m. Think he’s already got a goal and three or four assists. Henderson’s made a money call to play in a shit league, leave him out. Maguire, who I think had been unfairly treated by Utd and many fans...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Interesting article for those that didn’t see the news yesterday's that U.K. GDP had actually recovered pre pandemic levels by end of 2021. The swing/upward revision of about 1.7% (which is huge over a two year period)...

    Transfer targets

    Yeah, I think we’re far stronger outside of first 11 and not relying on loans which is important for longer term plans. I reckon we’ll only have issues in midfield/DM if we’re unlucky with injuries or suspensions. Got various players who can do a job there
