    It's hard to know who will stand out...Geijo has scored plenty of goals wherever he's been, Mujangi Bia has quite a lot of pedigree, the problem is many of our other loanees haven't had too much first team experience so it is difficult to make out who will do will and who may be on the sidelines more.

    It seems the international break has calmed everyone down about the flood of loanees, but I do agree that we may go a whole season without really knowing what our best XI is! If you asked everyone on here to name the XI for Saturday you would get no two answers the same I'm sure!

    I think that is an unnecessarily confrontational statement, or way have expressing the view, although I appreciate it may be the way you have viewed it. I think there is genuine excitement among most supporters, but touched with a bit of concern about the numbers, and the 'soul' of the club. I find it very difficult at the moment to remember all the players that have come in, where from, and their position, and at times feel almost alienated from the club I support, an almost disconnect. As the season progresses and the players settle into the club, they become known and the team becomes established I am sure the connection will be back!

    After all, even Zola said it has probably been too many new players. At present I can't remember who we have signed, who is on loan with the option of signing and who is only on loan! I suspect the likes of Dickinson, Yeates, Wichelow and Forsyth may be off soon, although Wichelow and Forsyth are still young and can improve and Yeates has played a lot better this year! Will Hogg and Eustace continue to be around the first team? Will Buaben feature at all? Will Beleck and Anya improve so that they appear better than we already had?

    I think we may see a few team changes over the coming months...

    i agree with the above statement...it's very hard to remember the players and positions...i've given up trying..but as we see them more, if we do..then i guess we'll get to know them, and as with Vydra and Abdi, they'll become part of Watford FC :)

    People would be more assured if they knew a bit more about the players I think but we have to give everyone a chance and some on paper seem pretty useful and settle quickly into the style Zola wants and ofcourse the Championship.

    There has to be a balance..no-one should be written off but it would be fool hardy to think these guys are the answers to our problems now.

    Only a few players would get the tag of being a certain success for whoever they played for....
