Watford vs Bournemouth league Cup 28/8/13

Just realised that we needed a thread - so a super-quickie!

Tonight's team:
Bond; Brown, Belkalem, Ekstrand; Faraoni, Smith, Battocchio, Murray, Pudil; Forestieri, Acuna

subs: Almunia (GK), Angella, McGugan, Fabbrini, Anya, Ikpeazu, O’Nien

10 changes...

 

Bournemouth team:

Allsop (GK); Francis, Elphick (c), Ward, Harte; Hughes, Pugh, Surman, MacDonald; Fraser, Pitman

subs: Flahavan (GK), Grabban, Addison, McDermott, Coulibaly, Cook, Thomas

Have no idea at all how that compares to their line-up last time, other than Grabban started then I think.

 

Thanks BB, we have made 1 more change than we did for first round compared to league game (Birmingham City). Howe has also stated that he wants a cup run so we will definately have to put in a performance to progress further and perhaps get a glamour draw. Im going for a Horns 3-2 win

 

Bournemouth have made three changes to their team tonight from their weekend game

 

A fairly strong line-up for us - how often in the past have we fielded a reserve team with a good sprinkling of international players?

Will be interesting to see how Belkalem the Beast performs.

 

Not a big crowd expected tonight. Actually have a pay on the gate turnstyle.

Did you get an answer from Perform BB?

 

How times have changed in such a short period, lets hope Belkalem shows us his worth. Bournemouth Echo is doing its match day live coverage (similar to WO) but with a few tweeted photo's for good measure if anyones interested.

 

It is good to be back having missed the game Sunday.

Deeney getting a night off?

 

No, he is with Jon Marks.

Transfer window closes before long.

 

I did - not particularly encouraging though. They simply said that they had noticed nothing wrong at their end, but would monitor the next broadcast. Had no problems on Sunday, and, so far, tonight is all clear...

 

Belkalem is huge. Not the type to meet in a dark alley.

 

Game underway. Bournemouth look as if they are set up to be much tighter at the back.

 

So far it all sounds very low key.

People outside still trying to get in. A decent crowd inside already.

 

I could take him. Not on a football field of course though.

 

Belkalem seems to be involved quite a lot.

FF taken down about 22 yards out in a central position.

Who will take it?

Murray does, but too high.

 

"There you go" Elliot Ward own goal.
1-0

 

Own goal by Elliott Ward gives the 'Orns the lead - chests the ball past his keeper

 

Yesssssssssssssssss Ward scores an og.

 

Ward lobbed the keeper with a ball off his chest. Good build up play by Watford though.

 

Good build up play brought that about. Keeper and Ward don't seem to be speaking to each other.
