and the associated article: https://www.watfordfc.com/teams/first-team/premier-league-squad-submitted Brice Dja Djédjé is the only surprise absentee, as he was around the squad recently but working on fitness. Pereyra out until next season too. Would be nice to have an English 2nd keeper maybe, free up a foreign spot... What are your thoughts?
I think Brice Dja Djédjé was undone by Pantilimon's injury. Clearly WM does not have faith in Gilmartin as a backup for Gomes, even for four weeks. I'm not sure that I have faith in Arlauskis, though. Finding good home grown back up goalkeepers is probably harder than finding homegrown centre forwards. Who wants to be a perpetual substitute when you could be playing somewhere?
