    Just read somewhere that the first time England played they played a 118 formation, not sure how it went but their next game which was against Scotland they played a 226. How about that for all or nothing?

    Strange what can happen in a year. A year ago, I expected us to win every game, whereas now................

    I think this is another area where we miss JRod.
    Even from the left wing he would try to either get in at the back stick or add to the confusion by running across the defenders.

    I hope JWP plays.

    We look far more dangerous when he's lining up the set pieces....and even if we don't score them it gets the crowd and the team feeling more positive if there are good deliveries coming in from corners and free kicks.

    Hoping for:

    Forster
    Cedric/Martina Fonte VVD Bertrand

    Classie Davis JWP

    Mane Pelle Tadic

    Bench: Stek, Yoshida, Martina/Cedric, Romeu, Reed, Juanmi, Long

    Surely Romeu must play?

    He was excellent v Palace and we could be overrun in midfield worth that line up!

    I would think about JWP for Davis...

    Bertrand/Targett as a left mindfield?

    Maybe 4-4-2? Davis right mid?

    Or 4-3-3 with Bertrand playing the left wing role maybe

    Still think bringing Forster back is a gamble.

    Now we get the oddity of Kelvin Davis on the bench with both Gazzaniga and Stek dropped, heh.

    Bert left wing. Tried it before I know but has it been successful? Wouldn't say Watford have pacey wingers to contend with, guessing tadic isn't fit

    Brings more energy in the closing down on the left side, looking 442

    back 5 must have promised Fraser he'd have no shots to save!
