Back up the M1 to Yorkshire at the start of a week that has games this Saturday, Tuesday and Friday. While Watford had a week without a midweek fixture, Wednesday had a cup game against Brentford, that they lost on penalties after extra time.
Our last visit to Hillsborough, back in January, resulted in a 0-0 draw, that we thought was a poor game, one of many.​

Team News

Head coach Tom Cleverley expects to use pretty much all the fit members of his squad.
“Come the end of the next week I’m sure we will have used 17 or 18 players in a starting capacity and maybe as many as 20 playing some sort of minutes in the three games,” he said.
Two players who will definitely not feature at Hillsborough are defender Jeremy Ngakia, who is still not back to full fitness, and midfielder Tom Dele-Bashiru.
Cleverley said the on-loan Bournemouth player Daniel Jebbison worked hard in training on improving the areas highlighted that needed attention and “he’ll be playing some sort of minutes in the next three games for sure”.

The fact that Moussa Sissoko will not be available for this and the next two games must be a blow to Tom's planning. Although he does appear to run out of steam after 80 minutes, he has been a real driving force from midfield.

 

Time to turn up in an away game.

Maybe a change in formation will help ..

 

Back from weekly shop. A very grey and nor very warm day here.

 

You'd think the club would take notice - all the comments are asking for the formation rather than just the names. It's been the same for ages now

 

Surprised I didn't bump into you then...

 

Camera just panned on the Watford fans - one guy with a replica shirt on, with 9 and Endean on the back. Looked a bit young for that...

 

O quite agree. You want to see how a missing player is boing to be replaced, and have no idea.

 

Andrew French thinks we could be going 4-5-1

Bachmann; Porteous, Sierralta, Pollock, Larouci; Ince, Dwomoh, Kayembe, Chakvetadze, Baah; Bayo. Subs: Bond, Keben, Louza, Vata, Sema, Tikvic, Jebbison, Doumbia, Ebosele

 

Afternoon all, am watching on Fawa.

 

Under fire at the moment, worrying.

 

Weds should have done better.

 

SW really should have scored there - a free header in front of goal, resulting from a silly free kick given away by Kayembe

 

Bayo converting a chance again.

 

Don't want to give Wednesday an hour to work out how to play against us.

 

These are Yorkshiremen remember, it would take a lot longer than an hour...

 

Should at least have hit the target there Larouci

 

I think the war of the roses is over BB
