Match Day Thread ROTHERHAM v WATFORD

ROTHERHAM v WATFORD
Aesseal New York Stadium
Saturday 3rd September 2022
Kick Off : 1500 BST

The recent form looks almost identical for both Rotherham and Watford.

It is worth knowing that the Millers have the second-best defensive record in the league this season. Since they have only conceded five goals so far. However, this was not the case in their most recent league outing.

Paul Warne and his men suffered a heavy 3-0 defeat against Sunderland in their last game. The defensive performance fell apart completely in the second half despite a decent first half from the Millers. The Black Cats took advantage of this and managed to score three goals before full-time.

The Hornets can thank Vakoun Issouf Bayo for helping them not settle for a draw against Middlesborough in their last game. The number 19 scored the winning goal just seconds away from the full-time whistle.

Watford are on a five-game winning streak against the Millers.
The last time Rotherham won this fixture was in 2003.
The Hornets won the most recent game between the two sides. That game ended 4-1.

With a little over an hour to go before the transfer window closes, it looks as though the existing players, where fit, will be available for selection for Watford,

Not sure that I will be around for this game. We have been invited out for drinks at 1.00 pm to celebrate a birthday. French drinks have the habit of turning into something more, and can go on for a very long time.

 

Will Hause and Davis come into contention?

Think they would make a big difference.

 

Hause looked very solid in his brief appearance. Will Davis be up to speed yet?

 

Guess not .

Could do with someone to hold the ball up allowing Pedro /Sarr to do their thing .

 

Isn't Davis ill?

 

I think he is better and been in training, but not sure how fit he is.

 

Anyone else going?

 

I definitely won't be. My German nephew is in Scotland having a short break from filming and we're meeting up with him in Aberdeen for a 'long lunch'. My wife and I can't remember the last time we met him in person - quite possibly around 25 years ago in Australia when he was a wee schoolboy. Facebook and Skype are all very well, but there's nothing like the real thing.

I'll doubtless be using my phone to pop in here once or twice for updates...

 

Guess again? He seems to be in contention...

If I can find a stream I will be here.
Great that we still have Pedro & Sarr.

 

I have optimism for the season ahead now.

Bet we'll go and lose tomorrow now.

 

Of course we will lose. If anyone doesn't realise that then they have not supported the club for more that 23 days, 4 hours and 23 minutes.

 

Sorry....I blew it as we had the grandson booked for four nights .... . and then my wife said yesterday..... 'you could have gone'

So instead we will be at The railway children

 

Sarr injured (minor knee injury ..)

He isn’t going anywhere but apparently there are some European countries with transfer windows still open which seems a bit weird .

Presume that is for domestic transfers ?

Bayo in with Davis on the bench .

Sierralta dropped for Hause.

 

An enjoyable family film the new version Yorkie.

 

Is it not on Hive Live? Just tried and was offered audio version only.

 

Bollocks. Just seen this on the official site:

• This fixture is affected by the reinstatement of the Saturday 3pm blackout, meaning we are unable to sell individual Hive Live video passes for the match.

 

Amazingly I have found a Hive Live stream!

Enjoy the game all

 

They are playing 3-1-4-2 according to the BBC.

If true, that is a rude formation. Very attacking.
