Match Day Thread Watford v Coventry. 14th Sept.

Watford v Coventry.

Before the International break Watford's perfect start was halted by a weak one nil loss away to Sheffield Utd. Previously, Tom Cleverley's men had won five in a row, including two in the Cup. Watford, apart from the loss, have appeared like a new team under the inexperienced coach. I saw a few of you have put Watford high up in the predictions league. However, for me the optimism is still to be fully lit despite early signs of my beloved team looking exactly like one.

Coventry, sit on four points, their opening league game and last one being losses, but they have also won their two Cup games. Mark Robins has been in charge there for a while now, they were robbed in the FA Cup semifinal last season, a game I had to endure with United fans in England. I don't know anything about their transfer activity over the summer or players to a great detail. But you can check that here.

Watford's team news is that:

Baah is 50/50
Louza is close to a return
Ngakia is made of glass.
Keben is still injured from when he was signed.
It might be too soon for Ogbonna.

Thanks for the thread Mex. I was wondering in a bramble patch where to start.
Not sure if our new striker will start, but he seems to be ready for it. I doubt that he will be asked too many times to do an interview.

 

Interesting accent. Almost sounded, to me, like a Yank trying to put on an English accent.

 

Well he is Canadian...

 

Really? Smelt a rat there.

 

I don't think that Canadians would like their accent to be described as "like a Yank trying to put on an English accent"!

 

The truth very often hurts.

Born in Canada to an English mother and Jamaican father.

No wonder I couldn't figure it out.

 

So presumably if he played for England some would say he isn’t English?!

 

Depends on rules I haven't read.

 

Depends how well he plays - John Barnes was apparently English.

 

When he played well .

Then not when he didn’t ?

 

No audio PA at WFC today. We'll have to ner-ner-ner Z-Cars to ourselves.

 

Afternoon all, lovely sunny day here, spent the morning on my new allotment.
There is a stream on Fawa but not working yet.

I'm a tad nervous, Scully.

 

Listening to the lead up commentary on iFollow - very strange. Plenty of crowd noise along with what sounds like 3CR discussing the Wimbledon Vs MK Dons match. Much to my delight, they are really slating ex Hornet Mike Williamson - predicting relegation if he's not sacked soon.

 

Meanwhile winter has arrived up here. Supposedly 16C but we're all rugged up with jumpers and blankets - I suspect that C should be an F...

 

We had a touch of frost last night, very early.
