RIGHT IF ANYONE WANTS TO PUT A BETTER THREAD UP THEN GO FOR IT AND EVERYONE MOVE TO THAT ONE. THIS IS JUST A QUICK CUT AND PASTE JOB SO THAT WE HAVE A MATCH THREAD; Watford v Wolverhampton Wanderers TEAM NEWS Watford midfielder Almen Abdi is out after suffering a dislocated shoulder in last weekend's 6-1 win at Leeds, but striker Alex Geijo (hamstring) returns. Midfielder Daniel Pudil is back after a ban and defender Fitz Hall is available after a hamstring injury. Wolves midfielder Karl Henry starts his three-match ban, following last Saturday's dismissal against Brighton. Winger Razak Boukari (hamstring) is back in training, but keeper Wayne Hennessey is ruled out for the season. MATCH FACTS Head-to-head ⢠Watford and Wolves have each won 12 of 40 previous competitive meetings spanning 100 years. ⢠Wolves ended a nine-match winless league run against the Hornets with a 3-2 victory in their last corresponding fixture in October 2008. They then completed a Championship double with a 3-1 triumph at Molineux three months later. ⢠Watford have only been beaten three times by the Black Country club in league games at Vicarage Road. Watford ⢠Watford are coming off a 6-1 away win over Leeds and, if they can add to the seven points picked up in the last three games, it would be their most productive sequence of the season. ⢠The Hornets have scored nine fewer league goals at Vicarage Road than they have on their travels (eight at home, 17 away). It is the widest such dichotomy in the Championship. ⢠Lloyd Doyley is hoping to make his 350th start in Watford colours. Wolverhampton Wanderers ⢠Wolves are chasing a first win in seven league games, to take their points tally to 25 to equal the total accrued in last season's unsuccessful Premier League campaign. ⢠They are also eager to avoid four straight away defeats, last suffered in December 2011. ⢠Stephen Ward is looking to play in his 200th Wolves league game and Christophe Berra in his 250th career league match, while David Edwards could make a 100th start for the Molineux club.
Nice work neighbour. Unless anyone has any objections - I'll do the Blackpool game. It's Thunksgiving week so I will have some time on my hands.
I dont think anyone else has mentioned it so feel free. I will start a rota thread so that we can plan a few weeks in advance.
Cheers lads - I think we will get a hard fought win, with a second half goal. I hope we don't miss Abdi too much, esspecially with Eustace still out. Plus I think Zola is not getting too big for his boots, http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/20364018 although let's face it his boots can't be that big. I am away this weekend so hopefully I can sneak a peak at the result sometime. ENJOY THE GAME !! COYH
I'm off to Hertford Town v Takely in the vase (http://www.hertfordtownfc.co.uk/ ) but with the wonderful modern tech world we now live in will get every kick nearly through twitter et al ). Looking forward to two great wins tomorrow...although the Horns winning is the more likely, but ( to use our newest slang term) gejo, it's football, beer and not work )
Nice one Mexico and 5* from me...I am going on for a continutation of last week. I think it was Dan & myself that predicted a team would get a slap - well I am going for us to carry on and give the next team a bit of a tough time. COYH...nice work Mexico
Team news: Almunia; Doyley, Ekstrand, Hoban; Cassetti, Chalobah, Hogg, Yeates, Pudil; Forestieri, Deeney subs: Bond (GK), Beleck, Murray, Vydra, Anya, Smith, Thompson Five changes again - and Vydra back on the bench
Berra last man, pulled Deeney back as he ran into the box - red card. Free kick hit straight to keeper by Yeates
Sounds like FF is waking up - creating havoc for Wolves. Wolves taking Pennant off to shore up defence.
