    I was not at the game on Friday because I was not very well I did watch on Sky Sports and I thought at the time Ngakia should have gone down and faked a head injury which should have stopped the game and cancelled out the goal having watched the Prem Goals this weekend I am convinced he should have done then Flemming might have been booked perhaps and Sissoko and Kayembe wouldn't have been booked for dissent

    If it had been 11 against 11 for the final 30 minutes I think we could have got the winning goal and sent cheating Burnley home with their tails firmly between their legs, of course had one off Kayembe's efforts had gone in or Doumbia had got a better connection after the shot hit the crossbar then all that would have been totally irrelevant

    I know we all moan about players going down faking an injury but against that Burley team it would have been poetic justice

    I hope when they go up they make Southampton look like a good Prem side and go down without reaching double figures

    I am not sure why you think Kayembe got himself deliberately sent off, it looked like he just lost his head same as Sissoko, if Tom does not pick them after their suspensions then you might have a point, we will see

    Mr 'Its Not Fair,'although a bit calmer of late, wanted one of HIS Team to cheat then accuses apparently the whole of the OTHER team, of cheating !
    Then theres others happy to use the word Thug about an opposition player on the same day as the apparent behaviour of Kayembe. WOW !!

    Theres nowt as blinkered as certain Football Followers

    After Sissoko went, Kayembe was running around kicking people and more than pushing his luck in terms of dissent. I have no doubt that’s what he was doing. It was shameful.
    I agree about the rest. <ok>

    Three games now to try and access who we might not need next season

    We need Baah Doumbia and Vata next season and possibly Sissoko on the bench for the last twenty minutes of games

    Georgi we could survive without if one of the youngsters can step up

    Ogbona, Ince and Bachman are too expensive to sit on the bench and if someone wants Kayembe them maybe sell him

    If Keben can get fit and stay fit he will be good for us

    I'm still spitting chips over Sissoko's stupid push on Flemming - he's a liability and I'd would rather he left at the end of the season.

    On the money, duggie. I think Sissoko may be past his best as a positive influence unless there is a major apology to Tom. Keben impressed me, enough to sell Porteous. Is Abankwe just on loan? I would definitely want him. I would like Wiley too, I thought he was excellent particularly against Burnley. Ngakia is sublime, imho, his workrate and ability to deliver what he promises is very important.
    I hope that we can show potential CFs it’s worth coming to us because we can put the ball in the box to them - we have the capability, we must deliver on that much more, as we did against Burnley.

    That certainly was foolish right in front of the ref too just after being booked .

    People complain about Flemming’s reaction but TBF he was also yellow carded for his push so the ref was even handed in that situation really although obviously Sissoko had been already on one .






    I think Sissoko and Ince still have a year left but maybe they can be moved on.

    Agree on the loan players and would bring some continuity to the defence otherwise we’ll need another left back and central defender particularly if Keben is going to struggle keeping him fit .

    Abankwah is here on loan - and, unfortunately, both he and Udinese see his future away from Watford. In a recent interview he said that he'll be going back there at the end of this season.
    We are apparently trying to get Wiley on loan again next season - I'd say that Chelsea at least owe us that, given that he was injured when he arrived and stayed that way until relatively recently.

    I can understand Abankwe's departure - he's better than Tier 2 football. We can only hope Chelsea let us have Wiley, in truth he is developing better here than he probably would in their reserves.
