Absolutely right.
The manager says, we can't compete at the minute, so the players already have their excuses, as well as him. It is the injuries according to the manager and as we know, he has also stated we will be okay, when everyone is back, but just like all the other quotes (We have a more competitive team than last year etc) that doesn't hold up
If ever a managerial quote could be more ill timed, this is one, as we are now in the bottom 3 we have won 2 games at home all season, one in the last 13 we can't get shots on target, let alone score and we have the added bonus of a fans boycott, so anyone who was on the fence, may now give it a miss, given this quote.
The opposition will have taken note and will be all out to prove him right, so they will turn up extra fired up and ready to rub the uncompetitive, teams noses, into the dirt.
As an added bonus the bookmakers are aware of this too and Watford have gone from 7/4 to 6/4 and are favorites to beat us. That price is still crazy, as this will be a defeat by at least a 2 goal margin (4/1) and will ensure we remain firmly in the relegation places at 5.00pm.
