    Q.P.R. v Watford

    Where to start? Watford have been in the news, as it happend AGAIN! The owners have no shame and are short-termist at best, it seems.

    New scapegoat Wilder takes Watford to Loftus road, chasing the play offs. Watford have eleven games remaining, after the Hoops are:

    Birmingham h
    Wigan h
    Luton a
    Huddersfield h
    Coventry a
    Bristol h
    Cardiff h
    Hull a
    Sunderland a
    Stoke h​

    Watford sit four points off the play offs, let's see if the "new manager bounce" does anything to the league position, and lack of good performances from the team in the forthcoming weeks. After all, the manager is always to blame, right?

    TEAM NEWS TO FOLLOW:


    If anyone can guess the line up & formation, I'd be impresed!

    I have my ticket. Hoping to meet some of my old University pals on the day.
    I haven't seen us win away since Huddersfield Town, April 2019.

    Thanks Mex. I had just thought that maybe I should do a thread, but my first sentence would have been the same as yours. Where to start?

    We should not forget that QPR also have a new manager since the middle of January. Gareth Ainsworth became their manager on 21st January, has only played two games since then, but lost both, the one away last Saturday by 3-1 at Rotherham. Their last win was back on December 17th, but to be fair they have had an injury list approaching ours. Ainsworth has been saying he hopes to have a couple of players back for this one, but will not say who they might be.

    Watford will be aiming to make it three wins out of three with James Linington in charge of one of their fixtures this season after he was appointed referee for Saturday’s short trip to Queens Park Rangers. Matthew Jones and Andrew Aylott are due to be his assistants for Chris Wilder’s first game at the Hornets helm, with Craig Hicks on fourth official duties.

    Last week I vowed not to spend another £10 watching the shocking display by the team. With the changes, I have decided to give it one more go. I hope I don't regret it.

    I do wish they would revert to listing the team in formation order. Four at the back with no left back?

    Afternoon all.
    I am as puzzled as anyone as to why no manager cannot make a set of excellent players make a consistent team.
    As a support one can but hope! Part of the deal I guess.
    Will look for a stream but all suggestions welcome.
