    No one beats Roland for negativity. I mean GG loves a jump off the deepend, Chaos can be randomly deliberately negative, but Roland sounds like he feels it’s all pointless and he should commit hari kari rather than wait for any improvement.

    Is this keeper craic for real though? It’ll be a real ****ter if we are down to 4th choice keeper.

    Regardless of keeper I’m going for Wood to get off to a flyer in a 3-1 win.

    I have to say though I’m not confident and just hope we aren’t too nervy. We’ve got a big part to play today. We need to take the roof off and make some serious noise for the lads, and make the oppo as uncomfortable as we can. Let’s go get this win which could be season defining.

    Fraser seems to have slied his way into the 11 and Murphy too I fear.

    Both are absolutely useless


    If Howe goes long ball and just getting down the wing and crossing then we've got another taty. OK we've got a big lad but you have to play

    He can’t do any worse than Dubz of late mind.

    Today is the biggest game in our most recent history.

    Make no mistake.

    This is about Histrionics.

    They have a lot of players away on int jury and injuries.

    I also think that Dubz will start.

    We will win. Easy.

    I can’t see another option to Fraser unless we move Joe wide again. I think Almiron needs to be more central as cant cross but we need crosses for Wood. Fraser has improved under Howe but not to the point you’d be confident with him. Just have to hope he can whip a few balls in, get some joy and get his tail up.

    Not having Murphy at all. 1 decent cross every 6 games, some decent tracking back, but lacks basic ability and as part of a front three - dreadful. I still think we need another wide forward option. And two centre backs, two centre mids, a left back, another striker, and a keeper <laugh> Aye we are ****.

    Needs to be 3-5-2 for me today like. But it won’t be.

    I can see 4-5-1.

    I don’t care who plays or how we play.

    We just have to win and it will be dirty.

    I don't like the look of Howe's side.

    Not sure I like where it's going

    Yeah Dubs has always been overrated by our fans. I like him, he’s a good solid option and keeper. But this idea he’s one of the leagues top keeper our fans kept touting, I’ve just never seen it like that. I thought Woodman got very harshly treated. Darlow and Dubravka have made far more errors this year.

    Me niether but if we can’t beat this Watford side we might aswell go home.

    Willock has to raise his game and come good today.

    I know this is absolutely bonkers but I can see Hendrick staring today.

    Wish I was at the game.

    Howe simply won't drop shelvey and he's just favouring and signing his mates

    Lose today and we're ****ed

    Totally agree. He makes the odd good save but to much this season he has been a liability.

    The nerves will be high today. I reckon Howe will take the cautious option. Which may be a bad idea.

    Today is his first big test for me.

    I wish I had a ticket. Does anyone have a spare one?

    I agree. Today is as big a game for us as it is for Howe.

    He quite simply has to get it right. I don’t really care how we play or who does as long as we win.

    I don't agree about Dubs he's a tremendous shot stopper..

    He just can't play the modern role of passing it out from the back that why he's looking dodgy

    The only thing I can think of is to play wing backs. But you’d need Lewis fit. You’d also need to find three centre backs and I’d rather play Fraser than guarantee defeat by including Lascelles AND Clark. One is bad enough. I didn’t think Lascelles could be outstripped for ****ness. But Clark has found a different level this season. He wouldn’t look out of place in League 2 on this seasons form. In self destruct mode and today is not a day for the faint hearted. I’d go Fraser or risk Elliott Anderson. I know people will say chucking a young lad into a cauldron like today is madness but sometimes young players relish it.
