    WATFORD v MILTON KEYNES DONS
    English League Cup
    Vicarage Road Stadium
    Tuesday 23rd August 2022
    Kick Off: 1945 BST

    Watford welcome their near neighbours from Division 1 for this cup game. MKD have not had a wonderful start to the season, with one win, a draw and three losses, which leaves them in the bottom four at this early part of the competition.
    Just how much Watford will want to progress remains to be seen. A second string team, with one or two players looking for some minutes as they search for fitness? Maybe some of our forwards who need to get in some shooting practice.
    I doubt that we will see the Vic full. Two more home games coming up that could be rather more importent than this.    ​

    "A second string team, with one or two players looking for some minutes as they search for fitness?"

    More likely to be the latter I suspect - the second string team have a match tonight at Hull. Although I suppose the U18s could step up for that.

    I think he needs to play our misfiring strikers to see if they can score

    Yes, try and inject a but of confidence and composure, hopefully.

    I dare say the lack of Sarr and Pedro will set the conspiracy theorists off.

    Had to google Delyfer - looks like we signed him from Potters Bar!!

    Does this line up make more sense than that numerical order?

    • Watford: Okoye; Gaspar, Troost-Ekong, Pollock, Cathcart; Asprilla, Gosling, Kayembe; Bayo, Manaj, Hungbo. Subs: Hamer, Choudhury, Sema, Kabasele, Sierralta, Morris, Forde, Blake, Delyfer
    • Youngsters James Morris, Shaq Forde, Adrian Blake and Max Delyfer on the bench

    Yes - quite why the club can't make their announcements in this format is beyond me.

    Anyone on The Hive? It says commentary starts 15 minutes before kick off, but I've got nothing...

    I think he may be going by the noise from their fans.
