    Bees v Hornets.

    CR70 has remained bullish during Watord's hard run of fixtures, after the City defeat he said, "If somebody some time ago told me against Man City, Chelsea and Man United, you will get three points, I would sign immediately, We had three fantastic performances, I'm satisfied. I watched a good spirit. When we were down 3-0, we never gave up, we reacted and we scored. Yes we conceded a lot of counter attacks but I saw a lot of spirit together and commitment, I’m satisfied. Our premier league starts now, we have to get some points." Some might say he is glossing over a battering, others that his last part of the quote is the most important.

    Supposedly, Brentford are without Toney, who is out with COVID after scoring seven goals so far. Also, Canos, who is suspended and has scored two. That's 47% of their goals this season. Just as well considering we haven't had a clean sheet all season.

    Watford sit just above the relegation zone, but could go a point behind Brentford with a win.

    Team news to follow:

    Don't expect any of the injuries back yet though.

    I'm having a real job trying to predict this one. I keep vacillating between 4-0, 2-2 and 0-1.

    Couple of key players out for Brentford.

    Need to take advantage.

    Claudio Ranieri: "We have to defend better, the whole team, because we are conceding too many goals." "As an Italian manager I don’t like it too much."

    Does coverage start at 7?

    Wonder how many times they will cram how many managers we have had !?

    We’ll probably be made out to be the bad boys compared to Brentford.

    Maybe to give Angelini experience of involvement in the first team. One for the (near?) future ?
    Two question marks in the same sentence, that is a first for me!

    Didn't take long - two mentions in the first ten minutes.

    Just been playing Hamilton v Verstappen on the kitchen floor. Hamilton won, Verstappen carrerred of track under the fridge after hitting the Rubiks cube by the vegetable rack. No need to watch on Sunday now!

    Sounds like 'no clean sheets' has taken over from how many managers we've had...

    Great save by Bachmann - I thought Brentford were in there.
