WATFORD • The Manager – Sean Dyche View attachment 7463 “We got a goal to go one up and half time came at a good time for us and I thought the feel of the match would change but it didn't – not through a lack of effort though, I must make that clear.” “I thought last week we were excellent from start to finish and this week we weren't. Maybe that is a good lesson for us because the one thing about the Championship is that consistency is so important.” • The Hornets Scott Loach Martin Taylor Lloyd Doyley Carl Dickinson Adrian Mariappa John Eustace Sean Murray for Mark Yeates - 92 mÃn.

We're hoping this performance will prove to be the catalyst for our season.” “It doesn't matter what system we play - as long as we continue to have togetherness, good morale, great attitudes and good performances then we'll get results.” • Forest Lee Camp Clint Hill Wes Morgan Luke Chambers Joel Lynch Chris Gunter Jonathan Greening Andy Reid for Lewis McGugan - 78 mÃn.

Current form Watford’s bad start seems to have stumbled to a halt with a win and two draws in the last three matches, the only win of this season though. Forest on the other hand has produced nothing in the last three league matches and only one league win in seven starts. Akureyri's Prediction: 2-0Forest’s poor start to the season will continue when Watford gain their first win at Vicarage Road. skál/skÃ¥l/cheers/salut Don't forget Drop in to The Hornet’s Nest for some match chat.

Agree with you on the outcome of this one, AK - should provide us with our second three pointer. With it being live on BBC2, I wonder how many will be on these boards (or listening via The Player)?
Thank you ak, great job that is appreciated. I think I will try to watch with the sound down on the TV and listen to Jon Marks. When I have tried similar things in the past there has been a big time lag. If that big pansy is around on TV I will definitely mute him.
I will be in the VR end to start then i will be meeting the lovely Hornette and spending the 2nd half in the Rookery with TYO. Should be a good one!! COYH!!!! Great thread as always AK.
We didn't play well at Barnsley, and I'm sure Dyche won't let that happen two games in a row. We've played well and not won before, but I reckon this will be the home win that really kick-starts the season.
feelin positive for this one going for a 2-1 home win need to as well as I fear we will come away from St Marys empty handed!
Never! Just invoke the ghosts of '82 - one of the finest away performances I've seen from WFC. Admittedly it was at The Dell though
Following the theme of my comment on the Barnsley game, I would like to also confirm how much I dislike Steve McLaren. Whenever I see that dried walnut faced, ******, all I can think of is that interview he gave speaking as a Dutch person speaks English. Also, every piggin' time he does an interview, I am sure he is still talking as if he has just learnt basic English, having been raised by an indigenous tribe. Why does he look so depressed all the time?! Wow, that has made me annoyed. Given our recent successes with televised appearances, and based on the result of that televised match last season where we were considered the overwhelming underdogs, I see a confident home win. Watford 3-1 Nottingham Forest
Great job as ever Ak, thank you . I see this going our way, 3-1. i think they're already losing faith and are perhaps a bit stunned to be propping the league up. And BBW, you're right about Steve McClaren, i see that interview too! Btw Norway, i've never seen us lose at St Mary's...
