    Another game comes thick and fast over at Vicarage Road.
    For some reason after the last two wins and the players performing very well I’m going for a narrow 1-2 win to city.
    Manning seems to be getting the players playing his way and we certainly are looking more of a threat up front- getting plenty of shots away.
    City will be cheered on by another excellent away following.
    Let’s hope we can keep the run going until the new signings arrive.

    For me it’s straight forward for McCrorie, he replaces Tanner at RB. Atkinson is less obvious, as Vyner has come back to form, and Dickie has been fairly consistent as well.

    It means we can rotate, if either Dickie or Vyner get injured now we’re stuffed, we have others that can do a job, but those are the main two CB’s

    We have been playing quite well but the small decisions can cost us because at around the 21 minute mark we had the potential to make a clear breakaway but our guy decides it was the wrong time to do a spin with the ball, and gave it away. Chance blown.

    Cam Pring has just put us up 1-0 so let's keep it going guys. We look very confident both on and off the ball for a change and we need to add another before half-time. Greedy EH.

    It seems we’ve actually figured out how to play our new system, I have to say I like it. We have to score whilst we’re in ascendancy though.

    Certainly one of our better halves of football for some time but a couple of negatives could let us down. Flowing football is only good when you take the chances created but we are weak and lifeless at times in front of goal and as the commentary team have said - we lack ruthlessness and commitment.

    We don't need prowess in front of goa; when the opposition score for you. 2-0 up on an own goal now. Come on City keep the steamroller boiler fired up and blazing on all barrels.

    Wowwwwwwweee that was a fantastic first half completely dominating Watford.
    Could this be the season we get a playoff spot and dare I say it do it.
    Splash some cash and let’s do it.
