    If you are one of the dedicated fans that get the car out and travel to all the away games, you will be rather familiar with your surroundings. 150 miles to Sheffield last Saturday, and three days later, 190 miles to Swansea.
    While the trip to South Yorkshire exceeded all expectations, there is a danger that some fans will expect a similar result in South Wales.
    Swansea, under Luke Williams, have developed a game with a lot of possession, but until their two goals against Oxford last Saturday have suffered a major goal drought. Strangely the fixtures have us pitting our skills against Oxford this Friday.

    TEAM NEWS

    Although many would want to keep the same team that performed so well in the 2nd half against Sheffield Wednesday, Tom did say that he would have to rotate the squad with three games in a week. We do know that Ryan Porteous will have his feet up as he serves a one match ban after receiving his fifth yellow card of the season.

    Our Officials

    Josh Smith

    Smith has been one of the busier referees this season, taking charge of a total of 13 league and cup games so far – including two in the Premier League – and issuing a total of 54 yellow cards and one red.


    Matthew Russell and Mark Russell
    Dean Whitestone the fourth official

    We want seven, say, we want seven

    If we get another great result I might just have to watch the highlight show to see their reactions, there will be floods of tears

    0-0 ?

    Wouldn’t be surprised if Tom already had a team in mind for this game before Saturday tbh

    Despite the great second half .

    What's the time in England? It's 12:45 here and the game is at 8pm.

    Or have the clocks changed in the UK?

    Baah to come off the bench and make an impact I guess.

    We don't seem to do well with the black away kit...

    Watford have not won three consecutive games since August.
    The last Swansea home win was in mid-September.

    From Swansea forum.

    I’m told that a low attendance figure is expected, not least because it is bonfire night. Additionally, Watford have sold fewer than 250 tickets.

    Vata misses out due to a knock picked up in training yesterday. Baah (minor knock) makes the bench.

    Keepers are out warming up, more people on the pitch than in the stands currently.
