[Ferrit]

Wharton and Carter….. it’ll need a miracle to get anything with those 2 at the back.

It's genuinely hilarious at this point. 

Almost want him to come on to see if he keeps the cap on or not

Pears still in a cap (45 seconds in)

 

Did they travel down on the day ? 

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

Henriksen is out with an hand injury ? Shaun Edwards played 70 odd minutes of a Rugby League Cup Final with a fractured cheek bone !

Steady on now. A joke can go too far. 

[OsloRover]

You must understand Henriksson will need both hands fully functional to do the required amount of shirt pulling

[barry_]

somebody needs to tell Pears he'll go bald wearing a cap all the time. 

[Bethnal]

Warren Lucy is such an apologist for his paymasters, it’s embarrassing 

[rock steady]

Strange times in terms of the kits.

Opposite Day: Ismael in the Vicarage Rd away dugout, Watford won’t sack the manager after a loss.

You're listening to the in-house broadcast team. They're never going to say anything controversial. 

Just be glad it's not an ex-player on commentary like most teams do. They're invariably shite.

Someone needs to tell Tavares to stop passing without looking.

[Exiled_Rover]

So is that not a dive and a booking for simulation on that penalty appeal?

[TheKitGuy]

I'd argue that's a pen if that was for us...

[TheKitGuy]

Ryoya looks knackered.....

[Exiled_Rover]

Straight away I'm thinking "I hope Morishita is a tidy, clever player because he's not quick".

Just about to say the same thing.  We were supposed to be adding pace and power. 

If anything we look more lightweight and slower than 12 months ago.  

Watford certainly look quicker all over the pitch.

I fully expect no feathers ruffled but to paraphrase:

”I look at the squad today and I think it’s strong, even with Sean suspended… there’s been a lot of noise about the Championship experience in the squad, but all those players with championship experience that left, at one time they didn’t have any championship experience.”

Why spin a very obvious lie? Only thing I can think of is that Venky’s (or one of their underlings) watch the games via a Rovers TV feed and this is some kind of cynical targeted propaganda system. Bit tinfoil hat, I’ll admit, but he’s such a dickhead otherwise, it wouldn’t surprise me.

I’ve seen him pass when looking and it’s not much better 

[chaddyrovers]

Morishita hits the bar

Good hit there none the less. 

[OsloRover]

Well Morihishita certainly has a wicked shot on him

[OnionBalaji]

Tavares looks pants

lost possession every time he makes a pass

He's had a stinker so far.

Has actually put a tackle or two in, but his passing (which is meant to be his strong suit) has been poor today. Played us into danger a few times. 

[jodrell]

Anyone know why both teams are playing in away kits?
