    Off we go
    No idea how we will set up, on a side note under 18's have beaten MU 3-1, the futere is bright the present is a bit of a nightmare, roll on next season.

    Not massively keen on jobe in cdm, not sure if he’s played there in a 5 like. Haway lads let’s finish the season with a couple of wins

    Watford pressing high up the field and on the front foot

    Great rendition of the Charlie Hurley chant coming from the away end. Class

    Clarke looses balance in a good counter attack

    Great piece of defending 1 on 1 in the box by Rigg.

    Hopefully famous last words but bloody awful formation
    5 at the back Ekwah and Jobe midfield Adil up front
    Dodds does not do himself any favours

    I don't particularly mind the formation, i think any formation can be attacking or defensive based on personnel but we simply don't have the players to execute it to a high standard.

    Any chance we can stop doing that goal kick? It's not catching Watford by surprise at all

    Our goalie frightens me at times.

    Thoughts on Rigg playing on the right? Feel like it’s to give him more space and time on the ball but don’t think it suits him. He’s not got lightening pace and I wanna test him in the middle where he may have less time but can cause more threats

    Three times he has given it straight to a Watford player with his wayward kicking

    Don't see the point. He's not going to have a career as a wide player so don't see why he's playing there.

    Been saying it for a couple of seasons. What the fk is our goalkeeping coach getting paid for? Patto's distribution is woeful. And I hate knocking any of our players but you would have thought he would have learned something by now.

    Clarke been so poor since his injury. Miles off his usual standards
