We've lost every single one apart from 2 draws in something like 14 / 15 games to Watford home and away. No idea why we specifically HAVE to lose to them, however it just seems it's how it is. I've bet Watford 5-4 for the win. Also bet Watford 2-1 at 8-1..... They have beaten us 2-1 the last FOUR seasons at Vicerage Road. I made £100 last season at 9-1 for 2-1, I never bet £10 on a scorecast. I really really really hope I lose money Tuesday, lets PLEASE end this hoodoo!
Loach has something to prove sure. I just had to do these two bets. I very rarely bet but didn't see that I had a choice!
Not liking the look of those Udinese loanees, for our sake. That Abdi lad up front looked dangerous from the highlights against Crystal Palace. Saying that, it was Palace. I think they'll struggle this year. In my opinion, Zola's a bit of an average manager. Did okay at West Ham and got them playing good football and kept them up. Looks like he's got a hungry side in Watford and the additions of the Udinese and Granada players are only going to help them on first impressions. As many have mentioned, we have a terrible record at Vicarage Road but records are made to be broken! Saying that, I'm going to be a cynical git and predict a 2-2 draw.
Watford fan here. How are you lot feeling after the blackburn game because from my point of view I'd've thought you lot would be happy getting a point against promotion contenders (unless you lot dominated the game)? The real player you've gotta watch in our side is Vydra. If ever the term 'Super Sub' was apt at describing a player, it would be for him. Palace's defence crumbled with him attacking them whilst Palace changed to defensive formation and tactics. Methinks he'll definitely be playing tomorrow so your defence has got to be stern. Our major weakness against Palace was that both of their goals came from running straight at our defence, so if you've got someone pacy with good ball control (JET/Chopra) expect a few goals coming your way
Steve Keane the Blackburn manager commented that we played " very well " and " not many teams will take 3 points away from Portman Road this season " so that's encouraging! I think your lot could be top 6. I really don't think Blackburn will be promotion contenders.
Appreciate your thoughts on our league prediction but I don't think so (although that might be because every other clubs' fans' negative thoughts on Watford have finally got to me). With Blackburn I thought they made enough good signings but any backroom disturbances would have an effect on the players so you never know
