MILLWALL v WATFORD So it is coming to the end of the season and Watford are still within a long shot of the play-offs. Whilst The Lions are sitting in a relegation spot at 22nd in the table. However, Holloway's men have won their last two and had drawn before that, so Millwall have hit some form as the relegation battle boils. Nevertheless, Holloway still thinks 'The Lions have a mountain to climb.' To be fair, I'd be sad to see Millwall 'the club' go down, but under Holloway it is another situation. Both sets of fans would want to be higher but the table doesn't lie at this time of the season. The Watford Observer states that Fernando Forestieri, Fitz Hall and Almen Abdi are all fit to face Millwall, which is good news, but the fat Hornet is clearing its throat to say goodbye to our play-off chances with every game really. Cassetti is banned whilst Angella is one yellow away from the same 2 game punishment. Also Battocchio's knee injury is not as bad as feared but I doubt he'll be in the squad this weekend. Deeney said there were some 'choice words' over late goals before the Leeds game, I wonder if someone recorded the conversation to play it back before the Millwall game...

Millwall seem to be better on the road on if we get an early goal maybe they will feel the pressure from the home fans.
From the BBC: MATCH FACTS Head-to-Head • Watford won the earlier meeting 4-0 at Vicarage Road in December. • Millwall have won only one of the last seven meetings, drawing one and losing five.

Nice one Mex - 5*'s from me. I will take great pleasure in stuffing them tomorrow, firsty to piss off that utter penis Holloway and secondly we owe then that after last season when we should have stuffed them and that 2 points done us! I will sampling a few beers in the Market Porter before the game - not been to an away game since Huddersfield! 3 nil to The Hornets
Please can someone provide text commentary as Frenchie will be away? Now that the clocks have changed I am even more unlikely to be awake for this one, but when I get up I will read this thread in chronological sequence to get a sense of the ebb and flow of the game ( and feel the disappointment of the injury time conceded goals more keenly). I can't say enough how much I appreciate these match threads.
I take off from Heathrow at 15:00 Hoping that the 777 I'm on has wifi and I will just miss the first 5 minutes at takeoff and then I can annoy the rest of the cabin as I enjoy every goal we stuff in and Mr Marks most excellent commentary...
You shouldn't miss any of it aberdeen - all matches kick off tomorrow at 3:07 as it's the 25th anniversary of the Hillsborough disaster. The ref tomorrow is Keith Stroud - last seen at The Vic for our last defeat at The Vic. The bugger gave Merkel a red card too....
Today's team: Almunia; Hoban, Angella, Ekstrand; Faraoni, Abdi, Tozser, McGugan, Riera; Deeney, Anya subs: Bond, Belkalem, Merkel, Forestieri, Ranegie, Murray, Pudil Squad looks stronger every week...
Shot from 25 yards by McGugan - just wide, counter attack - corner to Millwall - Almunia punches clear to near half way line
Free kick to Watford, Faraoni blocked - Toszer kick turned away for a corner...Deeney blocks Toszer shot
