    A strong defence is key and personally I think you've done well to get three draws in your first three games. A 2-0 loss to Man Citeh is no great shame. As I touched on above, the big difference is in the final third - strikers have less chances and have to be more clinical in the Prem, which is why the eyes will be on Deeney and of course your new signings, although I think one of them is a winger.

    A real pleasure to see my team playing my other team. I will be happy if we score a goal.

    Robert Madley is the referee for Watford's home clash against Swansea tomorrow afternoon.

    This will be game number three for Madley this season, his second Premier League game, with him also being in charge of Charlton's season opener at home to QPR in the Championship, with Aston Villa's home draw against Sunderland two weeks ago being his last fixture.

    He was also in charge of the 2-2 draw between Tottenham and Stoke last month.

    In those three games, he has dished out twelve yellow cards, and no reds.

    Looking at the man from West Yorkshire's stats last season, he took the reins of thirty games, which included Premier League, Championship, League One and Two clashes.

    He gave out ninety-four yellow cards and dismissed five players over the course of the thirty games.

    The last Watford game that Madley managed was last season, as the Hornets defeated Ian Holloway's Millwall at Vicarage Road in November, with six players being sent into the book on that day.

    Robert Madley :headbang:.....let's just say he's not popular amongst Swans fans. He gifted Stoke a penalty against us two seasons ago. We don't forget <laugh>

    10 years ago, what odds would you have got for predicting that two Premiership fixtures would be

    Norwich v Bournemouth
    Watford v Swansea

    Long may it continue...............<ok>

    I know, cos I was there! (the name's a clue :emoticon-0105-wink: ) Alas I'm with you on the score prediction for tomorrow's match. The Oddfellows is the designated away bar, just around the corner from the ground. Failing that the two Wetherspoons pubs in the town offer the best chance of a half decent pint in town.

    Apparently Garry Monk was a youth team player with us - didn't know that!

    If you going to the game today, here is the weather forecast.

    Occasionally heavy rain during this morning will eventually clear most areas by midday, leaving a largely dry and bright afternoon with lighter winds and sunny spells. Take the shades if you are in the SEJ stand. :emoticon-0103-cool:

    and from Roy , 1881, :




    On other wfc fans groups and across Twitter I've seen posts moaning about the team selection/manager/formations etc.


    We can never change these decisions....but what we can change is inside the players heads. They have to hear we are behind them 100% from the beginning till the end.
    Let's raise the ____________ roof tomorrow and __________ game for the rest of the season. We are playing in the Best league on the planet....the bigger picture ? We have ___ all to moan about. Fu...nnel ALL energy into ensuring the lads know we are behind 'em.


    Come on !




    COYH!!!

    Dyer named as a sub and Ibarbo looks as if he may come of the bench then.
