Watford v Blackburn. Watford face fellow play-off contendors Blackburn on Saturday hoping for an important win, after letting a two goal lead slip at Reading. The play-offs seem a while away, sixteen games in fact, but there are a lot of teams within reach of those chasing the runaway top two. There are only ten points seperating third and sixteenth in the table. So, there is a lot to play for, but the margin for error decreases with each round of fixtures. After Blackburn, Watford face Burnley, WBA, then Sheffield United. A tough run of fixtures in the Championship. So, a win against Blackburn, who have faltered a bit lately, would be a good tonic before a hard run of three games to follow. Hopefully, Bilic will have some more players to select from the black hole that is the Hornet's injury list. A good performance is needed to keep the morale up as Watford look to achieve promotion, depsite not really playing many good games all season. Team news to follow: "Insert new injuries here." ¡¡COYH COYH COYH!!
Who knows why he thinks that. In their last 5 games they have picked up 5 points, whereas we've picked up 8 - in that time, we've scored 6 goals to their 3, and conceded 5 to their 7. To date we have scored more goals than them and conceded less - we have a positive GD, theirs is negative. None of that counts I suppose...
Back to Hive for me this afternoon as International rights have not been sold. This of course makes it harder for domestic fans to find a stream. I will keep my eyes open for one, but had no success last week.
Anyone else got infuriating offspring? My son in Perth was due to come here yesterday for a week's holiday, but told us yesterday that he couldn't make it. 30 minutes ago he rang to say he's on the train and asked me to pick him up at the station - which I have to do as there's no public transport. The train arrives at 4:20pm, the station is a 30 minute drive from here - so I'm going to miss the second half. Knowing my wife, she'll make sure we leave before the half time whistle too....
Hopefully they will be fully fit if required. Pedro captain probably sums up the lack of options elsewhere .
Apparently he has become well respected by the other players, so may not be that much of a surprise. Apart from the possible language problem...
