Watford Short News Items

For those going to The Graham Taylor Matchday tomorrow there will be a pre-match address at 2.45pm and a parade of GT players at half time. It will be interesting to see some of the new boys especially for me, Will Hughes, a player I have always rated.

COYH's

 

Looking forward to it - hoping there will be a decent number of people in attendance.

 

Merson doesn't think much of our chances.

Not a fan of Silva or Chalobah is seems!

Nor Robbie Savage either....

Mind you... no one does until we have played a few....

 

They have a point saying we need more players but anyone could see that!!

 

I think the next couple of weeks will be very interesting re signings

 

Early team news for Watford's first EPL game.

Liverpool midfielder Adam Lallana is set to miss "a couple of months" because of a thigh injury, Reds' manager Jurgen Klopp has confirmed.

 

Can Mane and Salah pull up injured too and Barca nick their best player!?

On the other hand if they all play and we lose so be it I guess - we wouldn't expect much more..

(So long as we aren't hammered)

I actually think if we had more attacking options we might trouble them as they aren't so solid at the back.

 

Having failed completely to convert two of my Spurs supporting grandsons to Watford FC I am taking my Liverpool supporting third grandson to the Vic today for one last try. I've promised to take him for a tasty lunch first, not sure what more I can try!!!!

 

If that doesn't show that Behrami is going, I don't know what will, apart from an actual transfer.

 

Anyone been to the GT section at Watford Museum - small but some interesting bits.

Mainly from his first spell with us and awards donated by the family.

 

Watfordfc XI v RealSociedad: Gomes (GK) (c); Janmaat, Kaboul, Britos, Holebas; Doucouré, Chalobah; Amrabat, Cleverley, Pereyra; Sinclair.

 

Watfordfc subs v RealSociedad: Pantilimon (GK), Bachmann (GK), Femenia, Mason, Prödl, Mariappa, Watson, Hughes, Capoue, Success, Okaka.

 

Looks like Capoue is back in favour then - one report on the 'bust-up' suggested that he may be marginalised by MS.

 

Big talent inside him somewhere, but too often he forgets where he left it.

 

Bit like last week - average first half where Gomes had to save us a few times but seemed to improve after the break with a few changes

Had a goal ruled out and missed some chances.

Defence solid enough - midfield ok but up front is going to be our downfall.

New right back did well again.

Amrabat and Gomes only ones who played the full 90 and Capoue seems to be back in favour.

This will be the first thing on my Christmas list.

 

TD9 back to full training - http://www.watfordobserver.co.uk/sp....Deeney_to_return_to_full_training_this_week/ - good news

 

He and Cathcart were there yesterday waking up avd down the SEJ steps a few times.

Probably part of their fitness programme.

 

We need Troy back 100% So i hope they dont rush him back
