Gomes (GK); Nyom, Britos, Hoban; Anya, Capoue, Suarez, Berghuis, Amrabat; Ighalo, Vydra. subs Arlauskis (GK), Gilmartin (GK), Stevens, Rowan, Holebas, Mason We seem to be a tad short of first team players... I don't suppose there's a live stream that anyone is aware of?
Troy Deeney took a slight knock in training and Cathcart, Prödl and Behrami are presumably being rested after the European championships.
From Twitter - 10: First chance for #watfordfc. Berghuis shoots low from the left and it's saved by keeper Poke. Ighalo with the pass. 11: CLOSE! Britos sees a header cleared off the line after Berghuis' corner. Then the defender forces a Poke save from the second set-piece. 12: Suarez with the follow-up on the volley from 20 yards, tipped behind by Woking keeper Poke. #watfordfc 13: Another #watfordfc chance - Berghuis corner, this time from the right, and Hoban nods wide of the target. 14: Poke denies #watfordfc again. Ighalo meets Berghuis' latest corner with his head, but the Woking keeper saves well.
But.... 24: GOAL: Woking 1-1 #watfordfc. Big scramble in the box after a free-kick out wide and it's somehow ended up in the net. Possible own-goal.
Gomes, Capoue, Suarez, Berghuis, Ighalo and Vydra all substituted at half time. Arlauskis, Doucoure, Guedioura, Watson, Sinclair and Oulare all on.
Doesn't sound like a great result but it seems we had enough chances. 1st game as well so more about fitness.
It's about fitness and learning new tactics. The result is unimportant today. Cue meltdown on the Wobbie comments...
