Happy birthday other Dan - hope its a good one. The orns have beaten Boro, Forest and Brighton on mine and my brothers birthdays' this season so omens are looking good. Wont be easy but hopefully Chalobah being back will help us to control the game better. I wonder who will be the 3rd midfielder along with Chalobah and Battochio - my money is on Yeates - however poor he was last season he has impressed me quite a lot this season and really proved me wrong. In addition, unlike Hogg who seems to have lost all confidence, Yeates knows where the goal is. I would go with: Bond Cassetti, Doyley, Nos, Hall, Anya Yeates, Chalobah, Battochio Vydra, Deeney Subs: Fessi, Bonham, Hogg, Ekstrand, Pudil, Geijo, Murray. Those of you going have a safe journey - heres for another Yorkshire spanking! D
Cheers other Dan and H. I would rather see the team as Bond Doyley, Nos, Ekstrand Cassetti, Battoccio, Chalobah, Forestieri, Briggs Deeney, Vydra Forest has shown more of an influence when he is played behind the strikers and can run all he likes. Plus that way he is unlikely to be isolated.
Come on You 'ORNS!!! Could do with a win today really, off to work in a bit so going to miss the game though.
Watfordfc start XI v Barnsley: Bond; Doyley, Nosworthy, Ekstrand; Cassetti, Battocchio, Hogg, Yeates, Anya; Deeney, Vydra. Three changes.

Well nobody forecast an away win for Huddersfield and only 6 for a Millwall win - and none of those got the margin of two goals correct - so two games finished and 18 points on the board That result should just about end Leed's hopes of a play off place
Is there a single game in the Championship that does not have any importance for promotion or relegation today? Cannot see one.
