There were tensions within the club last season due to Deeney's higher than usual profile. Mazzari's lack of english certainly exacerbated the problem. Our new manager will not allow that to happen this season. He looks more determined to exercise total control of the players. I'm sure this was fully discussed with Gino during the selection process.
I doubt it - as far as I'm aware there's only one televised match from tonight's round, Sheff U v Leicester. Jon Marks it will be for me...
Would have rested (for safety) Gomes, Prodl and Richarlison. Would hate to lose any of those from the game on Saturday.
No Kiko and Nokaka - that won't please the latter. Wonder if he'll still be here at the end of the month?
Good to see CC back, but none of us saw Mapps starting. I hope it doesn't go to penalties - the only shoot-out I remember us winning was the play-off in 99.
ROBINS: Fielding (GK); Vyner, Flint, Magnusson, Kelly; Elíasson, O'Neill, Hegeler, O'Dowda ; Hinds, Diedhou. Subs: Lucic (GK), Wright, K Smith, Taylor, Golbourne, Reid, Paterson.
Watford playing keep ball, City having trouble to getting a kick. Prodl sloppy pass leads to freekick. Hits the ball into the wall.
What a nice morning. As I prepare breakfast and packed lunches pink clouds of dawn hover over snow capped mountains and I can listen to a match commentary. Shame the game is so poor.
