Elvis Biro 274 Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 One hopeful thing may be that Watford have only scored 3 (three) goals this season. Three 1-0 wins, a 0-0 draw and a 0-1 defeat. Amazing to only score that number of goals and still have 10 points. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Since Nyambe we've not looked anywhere near as much of a threat down the right. My thoughts exactly. Dolan and JRC play brilliantly together. Nyambe doesn't suit playing with Dolan. Watford to win this easily, unfortunately. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bad do when you've to spend so much just for that Quote Link to post Share on other sites

joey_big_nose 3033 Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 I would say to the team "forget about Cardiff and Forest - this will be a very different game. Press them high an early and break quickly." I quite fancy us to get an unexpected result. As we don't have Rothwell I would play JRC in there to join up midfield and attack. Team for me : Kaminski. Nyambe Ayala. Lenihan. Douglas JRC. Johnson. Holtby Dolan. Armstrong. Brereton Subs : Greek GK (I will learn how to spell his name!), Wharton, Bell, Buckley, Trybull, Elliot, Gallagher.

Popular Post Silas 1724 Posted October 20, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 20, 2020 21st October 2014: My wife was rushed into hospital for an emergency C-section due to a potentially dangerous placental abrasion. After a crazy few hours, I was dumped in a room with a newborn baby girl in my arms while the medics stitched her up. Dazed and confused, I sat there wondering how I was gonna look after this wrinkly alien, and then a thought popped in my head - We're playing tonight! Cradling the alien in one arm like a rugby ball, I shifted in my seat and fished into my pocket for my phone. It's HT, 0-0 against Birmingham. A midwife came in to check on things, scowled at me pissing about on my phone, and promptly left in silent disapproval. Within minutes, everything started going our way. Ben Marshall scored, Brum had a player sent off, and we went on to win the game 1-0 (by which time my wife had been wheeled in like a drugged up zombie from the epidural). I looked down at my newborn and thought - You're a good luck charm you! Bear in mind we'd kept 2 clean sheets in 14 before that day. And it was 9 matches following before we kept another. Since then we've had 2 more matches on 21st October, 0-0 Derby 2015, 3-0 Portsmouth 2017. So the overall record for my good luck charm reads played 3 matches, Rovers 4 goals, opponents 0. Which is fairly impressive considering the teams defensive abilities over that period. If the run continues, hopefully we win tomorrow, and we win to nil. The last time we beat Watford away? Which was to nil too (0-1). Feb 2001, the season we got promoted to the Premier League. Summary: Win tomorrow and I will be hopeful of us getting promoted. Win to nil tomorrow and I will be 100% convinced we're getting promoted. Lose tomorrow and my daughter is immediately getting booted out the house as she will no longer be of any use to me........

wanderingrover 5 Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Mowbray may have targeted this game tactically more than Forest where a new manager made planning unpredictable. Could see him going with something like below. Johnson/Evans picking up Pedro when he drops in. Front 3 to stay high as much as possible... Kaminski Nyambe Ayala Lenihan Bell Johnson Evans Holtby Gallagher Arma Brereton A point would be great if we could follow up with 3 at the weekend! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not certain how Gallagher would make the 11 - surely Dolan or Elliott ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wanderingrover 5 Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 I’m predicting Mowbray’s selection rather than making my own but I’m also not sure if Dolan has come up against a decent team who play with WB’s (??), which may impact his selection here... If it were up to me, I’d have Douglas over Bell but I don’t have an issue with Gallagher for this particular game with Dolan/Elliott off the bench. Expect Dolan/Elliott to start again this weekend.

windymiller7 1300 Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Do we need a code for ifollow for this one? The 'deal' with the ST said we'd get the midweek away games but I've had no code emailed from the club. I can watch it on the red button but that's even worse than ifollow with SD and no replays.
