    Biggest game since the double away fixtures at Wolves/ Preston 07/08 for me this.

    How on earth we're two points off the play offs with four to play is an absolute miracle. Like Mick/ hate him, if anyone thinks in 18 months from BOTTOM of the league to this position he's done a bad job then they need to see a Dr really!

    This fixture however fills me with fear. Watford away. The curse was lifted last season ( thanks for something Chopra ...... ), however I have a bad feeling about this game.

    I remember four years in a row it ended 2-1 Watford. I was there for one, we went ahead after two minutes for the inevitable to happen.

    Going to predict a 2-0 loss here. Sorry guys, I really hope we win just my gut feels the same as Blackburn away. Fortunately, if this were to happen Reading have a difficult game away at Wigan to enjoy :D. I think Brighton WILL win at Huddersfield however.

    Thoughts guys?

    PS - sounds like we've sold 2000. Great support, lets hope Portman Road is more full for the Bournemouth home game....!

    A very tough game at an armpit of a ground, if we can get hold of Troy Deeney and keep him quiet we could just be on to something as I think we will score. Our mid field has to get the upper hand otherwise I can see our defence coming under pressure, if we dont we will also have very little in attack so this is a crucial area of the game.

    2-2....win the last 3 league games, then 3 games from promotion.!

    Murphy & Nouble (from the bench, to get his 1st goal in I don't know how long)


    I do have a rough idea, just over 1,100 mins he has spent on the pitch since he last scored.!

    Watford 1 Town 2

    Murphs
    Tommy

    A tough game but we will show that extra grit and determination that Mick has instilled into the players. If anyone had said that we would be in this position with just 4 to play at the start of the season I would have said they were Bonkers! <ok>

    COYBS!

    2 points off the playoffs with four to play?? 0 points off the playoffs with 4 to play sounds better <cheers>

    Tough game this, Watford are unbeaten in 8 at home.

    Looking into it, apparently Watfords defence doesn't like the physical side of the game so I'd expect us to win, particularly with how Murphy is playing atm and how good we are at set pieces

    2-0 Murphy and Smith

    Comfortable & Victory are not two words that are normally associated with a Town performance at Watford......But I love your optimism Spanish. <ok>

    Very upbeat predictions hey guys!!

    Do we ever win three on the spin though!? Surely if we're going to get play offs, we're going to struggle our way there and NOT win at places like Watford?

    Come on town. Watford as pointed out above are unbeaten at home since January and are no mugs.
