    I fully expect our defensive and attacking issues to be addressed during the Summer and the squad might be streamlined but it will definately be more functional by the end of the transfer window.

    Isn't that easy. When we just defend we crumble, hence the lost points from winning positions and how terrible we are with 10 men (if we ever get a man sent off). We need to show positive attacking intent from the start (and sustain it) and try to win tonight.

    Not the last game of the season, so can't see us being so desperate for a draw that we don't try for a win. However I'm pretty sure that we won't roll them over*, so Ralph will need to make his usual changes.

    *Be nice if we did though #sigh.

    Watford are a good team, so I'm not expecting anything too majestic from tonight, just hope we put in a good performance and a spirited shift.

    No corners tonight guys. If we get one, just tap into space & everyone run like ffuck back into our half.

    We can't outplay most sides, Spurs and Wolves apart,and we cant out fight most sides. We aren't Citeh and we aren't Cardiff. I'm really not sure we can get anything from the away games. Just relying on other teams to do us a favour, i.e. Cardiff and Brighton doing a Swansea. Thought Manure v Cardiff was a sure home win. Cardiff can definitely get something, the way Manure are playing. Fingers and toes crossed.

    Not confident about this one, but hopefully the kick up the back side they got at half time against Newcastle is still being felt.

    Need to start well.

    If Valery is back then the big question mark is either Stephens in a back three or an extra man in midfield, would probably opt for an extra midfielder

    Or we just treat it like we would if we had the ball near the corner flag on an attack.

    Why team all congregate in the area is just nuts.

    Or we could just give Jack his space on the bench.

    Going for a draw myself. Point would be good and all but secure safety

    Ings on the bench. Makes sense, would much rather he be kept fresh for Saturday.

    Hope it's 4 at the back with Stephens at RB, but fear it won't be
