Article: Hull v Watford, Match Thread, 2/4/13.

I'm deliberately avoiding knowing how this match is going until I see SSN at 10. Only time I've been to the KC was in 05/06 - I still remember Ben Foster managing to slice the ball out of the ground from by the right hand touchline with his right foot - not bad for a left-footer! Three games without a win - we can't really afford it to be 4.

 

Cheers ... will do what we can...

 

And they do the best Kebabs in the town.

I always make sure to visit when I am back Blightyside. Extra large Doner with extra chilli sauce. Yummy.

As for tonight game - this, Ladies and Gentlemen, is IT. And I can't wait. Lose and it's the dreaded play-offs. Where I fear we will fail.

 

Just about to set off. No hussar jacket tonight, too cold.

 

Need 5 points tonight, I'd happily take 3 mind...

Also...hats of to the legend...If selected, Lloyd Doyley will be making a 400th appearance in Watford colours

 

Just seen the pitch is being heavily watered.

Think they are hoping that some of our shorter players will drown.

 

Vydra and deeney to start up front I hope.

 

Hope Zola names a strong bench then tonight as the "Subs" will be needed

 

Tonight's team:
Bond; Ekstrand, Hall, Briggs; Cassetti, Addi, Chalobah, Battocchio, Anya; Deeney, Vydra

subs:
Bonham (GK), Doyley, Pudil, Yeates, Buaben, Geijo, Forestieri

The biggest game of the season and he drops Doyley.......

Not sure who Addi is

 

Both Hull and Watford players are up and running.

Luther Blissett alongside Jon Marks tonigh.

Old player is 20-30 seconds ahead of the new version. Well it is here.

 

Hull Team:

Stockdale; Bruce, Chester, Hobbs; Elmohamady, Faye, Koren, Boyd, Brady; Gedo, Simpson

Subs: Jakupovic, Rosenior, Evans, Cairney, Fathi, Quinn, Proschwitz

 

Really hoped he would drop Briggs to the bench - but he's the proffesional so let us see - also amazed at Bauben coming onto the bench ahead of other options.

 

Pitch very poor. Could turn into a mudbath.

 

Start of a massive week - come on you 'orns.

 

LB very surprised that Lloyd is only on the bench.

 

yeah our pitch at KC is like a plowed field

 

How's Briggs been doing recently ? Not heard much about him

 

Looking at the two sides have to say Hull may turn out to be to strong for us tonight, we needed Doyley tonight for sure

 

"Defeat is not an option". Jon Marks

 

Noise almost deafening as the two teams come out.
