    Match Thread Watford FC - Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 14th Sep

    Trying to look for any kind of positives here. Only things I can think of are we’ve won there on our last couple of visits and it's not a 12:30 kickoff as we have not won any of those so far. After playing so bad so far, things can only get better (I hope).

    Muddled thinking

    Norwich are not the Norwich of old. They had 1 attempt on target. Same with Stoke. Rather than saying these teams are good we should say we’ve been bad and made them look good. We will get easily thrashed 4-0 or worse by some of the better teams we are about to face.

    Early days but basics lacking

    We haven’t kept a clean sheet in ages. Grinding out 1-0? Forget it.

    It’s not Devin’s fault we lost. But we still lost even if it was due to an unlucky deflected attempt from point blank range. Getting into good positions and getting shots on target matter.

    Part of the problem is Ellis doesn’t inspire confidence in his teammates either. So they think “Why bother passing to him, when he’ll miss it anyway”. Supposedly big and strong, yet so timid and easily outmuscled. It’s frustrating.

    Well you get lucky if you actually attempt shots on target. BTA had a shot the other day that looped in off a deflection. Did we even have a meaningful shot at goal today? Think Haji and EMC tried a few tame efforts. Rudoni scuffed one when well placed. Simms missed 2 chances of which one he...

    Don’t let the players go on leave during the international break. Get to the root of the problem as to why we are “disjointed/disconnected” as MR has said on back to back weeks now. Start games with more urgency and on the front foot instead of waiting until we go a goal down to do that. Be much...

    Okay but I’m mainly concerned about performances. If you get performances up to par, the results should naturally follow. But performances have been beyond bad in so many games.

    Coaching staff were in place long before the season started. Rigorous preseason regime and games were put in place to ensure a fast start mirroring Leicester’s success. We looked great in preseason and everyone seemed to know their roles. We’ve played very often without Sheaf in the lineup...

    I’m afraid this season our finish is going to be much much worse than our start if we don’t sort out this mess. We always had a reason for our slow starts like pitch debacle, gelling etc. I don’t think we have a valid excuse this season.

    Ironical isn’t it? They have no identity, don’t know what they’re doing or supposed to do, no cohesion or communication and the performances have been so lackluster. Week after week MR keeps lamenting about how disjointed we look and I’m frankly shocked that they have not worked on it during...

    3 of those were subs. Still the team needs to be doing far better than they are.

    Our poor run of form stretches back to the end of last season. Most players are the same as before. Over the last 10 league games our record is W1 D2 L7 with just 1 clean sheet. If that doesn’t ring alarm bells then I don’t know what will.

    He brought us up from League 2 and he’ll take us back down there 😂

    I don’t know what the current odds are but I was going by preseason pundits and almost everyone had us in their top 6 and some even had in the top 2. Maybe they were looking at things upside down..

    Sheaf is going to be out for awhile it looks like (thought I saw 2 months being mentioned on X). Might be time to sell him and get 15-20M if we can and replace him with a CM that can actually play a full season.

    Ben Sheaf

    Heard he’s injured again and could be out for 2 months. I think it’s better we try and get 15-20M in the Jan window for him and get a CM that can actually play a full season.

    Although it’s early days we are already 16th. Although we’ve had slow starts before, there usually were mitigating circumstances. This season we are supposedly favorites for promotion, but look worse than ever. This bad league run stretches back several games into last season and still hasn’t...

    Teams are resorting to manhandling him and he’s become more passive in taking players on and turning them inside out.
