    Watford v Middlesbrough.

    Both teams sit close in the table, but it's early days. Cleverley is obviously still learning how to form a bit of a mish mash squad together in his favourite 3-4-2-1 formation. He can switch it to 4-3-3 too, but that went down like a sack of **** against Preston last time out

    Watford's form is a bit marmite really, or up and down like a yo-yo. Some games we seem great, others ok, others I'm glad I've missed.

    No idea about ´Boro apart from the fact they are on the North Sea, well away from me as I am 5 hours to the Mexican Pacific coast. This article is pretty sound though and reminded me of good times we have had in our history too.

    I wish I could be more insightful but am writing this on a dinner table with my Mrs' family all talking around me.

    3 games in a week = weak ones out of injured.

    No idea of Middlesbrough news. Apart from they have won their last two games. So are on a roll and off to Las Vegas for the break if they beat us.

    Let's get a win before the international break.

    COYH!!

    Changes ahead - with TDB and Jebbison in particular mentioned. I think we sorely missed the former, but am yet to be convinced about the latter.

    I'm not sure what the answer to the striker problem is - am pretty sure it's not Bayo, and Baah seems to play better on the wing - as does Vata. One of them has to start producing the goods though...

    Cleverely definitely making changes to Watford team tomorrow | Watford Observer

    Jebbison and TDB in then although apparently we play better with Bayo in the team according to Cleverley’ s comments yesterday.

    Thanks for picking this up Mex. I have discovered that where I am, the internet is so slow to be almost non-existent. Get one of the family looking at their phone, and that is it for everyone else. This reminds me of why I dumped SFR and went to Orange.

    Fairweather fan...
    I hope you're at least taking a Watford flag with you, to plant on the summit...;)

    Certainly at home... Sheffield Wednesday, Cardiff City, and Burnley, away. The first two I may get to after all! Not been away yet this season.

    When you commune with the Gods, ask them for a victory for Watford against Middlesbrough in the Championship game being played today. You have to be very precise with Gods.

    TDB's leg looks heavily strapped.

    Boro's passing is crisp and accurate - looking dangerous
