Timely from the Club reminding supporters of their behaviour. Won't make any difference until they address the behaviour of some fans who travel to away matches and they ain't gonna do anything about that.

I know it happens at a lot of away games but Watford seems to be more of a problem than most. Maybe due to the easy train travel?
Last season was horrible with pissed up idiots everywhere and spewing their guts up. I saw at least 3 different ones being sick last year.
yesterday as i walked in a kid was sobbing his heart out with the group of people he was with. I think his dad didnt get in due to being too pissed which tells me he must have been really bad as there are always plenty of pissed twats following us. Coaches getting to pubs 4 or 5 hours before kickoff dont help either.
Regarding the coke culture, i said before, sniffer dogs at every game, especially at our turnstiles at away games. Stops it in its tracks.
final bit of my rant is that there are people who are just ignorant pricks, young and old, that follow us as well and they don’t need a beer or a line to push in queues or stand in front of others. It Happened yesterday and happens all the time.
We have some shitty fans as do every other club and their behaviour will always spoil it for others.

It was a game of two halves should have been out of sight at half-time if it wasn't for poor finishing, I thought it was the best I have seen us play all season. Watford seemed to change their tactics when their goalkeeper went down injured close to half-time and they were much more dominant in the second half. We struggled to get out as Watford pressed us high, think we need to address this as it's becoming a bit of a problem when teams press high. Second half I thought Watford's midfield was too dominant Sissoko in particular was picking up the ball and running 20-30 yards with it at times.

The country's fucked because behaviour at football grounds is exponentially better than it was in the 70s and 80s?

knife crime statistics make it seem that far more people are being stabbed than actually are. They release figures for knife crime but they actually include any incident where a knife is mentioned, this could be a stop and search where a knife is mentioned, crime reports where a knife is mentioned but one is never found etc.

Serious youth violence is not a new thing either, street gangs date back to the 1950s and before and they were massively violent then as well.

Anyway this isn't the place for this, football crowds are loads better than they were in the1970s and 1980s.

Sky and Google has it listed as 5-3-2. Formations are fluid so you can have both a defensive and attacking shapes.

In any case, the shape was nothing like the 4-2-3-1 we’ve played this season. Rudoni and EMC were playing either side of Simms - both trying to hit gaps between Watford’s 3 CBs and WBs. Neither were wide as wingers and MVE operated as a dynamic wing back, JDS certainly did not function as a LB either. The defence was also barely ever in a flat 4, in possession, Thomas was a central CB, with Lati and Kitching either side him.

Before Wright came on, whenever we defended, we sat in a 5-2-2-1 shape and afterward, defended in a 4-4-2 with Rudoni and Simms - the latter being what we’ve been doing all season.

Wot

It was clearly a standard 4231 with MVE right wing.

Behaviour at games is far better now.
And the risk of getting caught up in something far less than it used to be.
Things have definitely regressed and there are some issues that need addressing but let's not make out it's worse than it is, thats not helpful to anyone.

I sniff Doug King during the game and boo a bag at half time.

He's very fragrant - must be all the KoS gear he gets from his brother.
