    Watford Vs Middlesbrough


    Watford welcome Tony Mowbray's Middlesbrough to Vicarage road today. Its the Hornets verses The Boro, its 12th against 11th.

    Previous fixture
    Last season the Hornets emerged narrow winners with a 2-1 victory on the final day of the season with goals from Deeney and Iwelumo for Watford and Emnes for Boro. In losing Boro were denied a play-off place. They will surely want revenge for this.

    Last Time Out

    WATFORD​

    Watford come into this game on the back of a hard fought and spirited win away at Charlton. The Golden Boys had to play the 2nd half with 10 men after Forestieri was sent off, but manager Gianfranco Zola said he was impressed with the squad and their resilience;

    Tommie Hoban scored his first senior goal on Tuesday​



    MIDDLESBROUGH​

    Boro were held to a home draw by Derby. The game see-sawed from the 19th minute when Boro went ahead but twice Derby managed to pull them back. Gaffer Tony Mowbray was disapointed with the late Derby equaliser which he felt was offside;

    BHD's prediction
    Based on recent form it would be a tight game, neither have a high scoring average and are in similar form for the start of the season. I have a feeling that it will be as tight as form suggests. I predict a one goal difference with the 'Orns winning 2-1. However, i have been known to be wrong.

    Good luck to both teams. As the short man says "enjoy the game"

    It's 'losing' Dan. 'Losing' is for our opposition, 'loosing' is for your bowels. ;)

    But otherwise, 5* <ok>

    Cheers Dan !!

    I think we'll draw this one 3.3 but will only be able to check the result late on Sunday as away from mid-day today and I like to leave my phone off and be without net to get away from it all.

    COYHHHHHHHHH !!!

    Nice one dan - 5*'s from me.

    Will be a difficult game this one and I expect a watchful ref - I'm going for a 2-2 draw and our poor home form continues

    I can't make it, so I expect us to win comfortably.

    After five for one team the match must be stopped so we are alright.

    The defence will have to make sure that the ref spots any tricks that Jutkewicz tries - not so much to have him sent off, but so that they aren't.

    great thread Dan, thank you! :)...i foresee a win, but the ref sounds very scary! We might have problems because of that!

    Alex Geigo just announced on twitter that he is in the squad for tomorrow. I hope he gets a run out. Not like when i was told Stephen Mcginn was in the squad but he only made the back up 2. :(

    He is still about. He was training with the squad last week. I think he is unlucky that FF has been in form

    Hornet Player is up to it's tricks again - one long drop out already <grr> Hope there aren't too many more as Boro don't have a commentary to switch to for some reason. :(

    Afternoon BB, Hornet player up and running here. Did some investigation into your dropping out and it seems possible that it is something to do with bandwidth. If you have too many people on the same ISP in your area then this can happen. By switching to a different commentary it is likely that you re-buffer and can get through to that. Just something I read and it might not be correct as to what is happening to you.
