BladesPod: Watford talking points

[Beans]

Morning all,

Not exactly a cracker at the weekend, but if you DID want to listen to a bit of analysis / thoughts on it, then here's a quick pod for you with Roygbiv picking out the talking points from the draw with Watford, including:

• Watford's surprisingly defensive approach (01:01)
• our own defence being both good and weirdly fallible (04:12)
• Dean Henderson bouncing back after last week's dinosaur management (26:36)
• David McGoldrick's rising stock, and whether we're finding the right balance between attack and defence (31:28)

Thanks as always for listening!

Cheers, this is normally the accompaniment to my Monday evening training session in the garage with the spiders.

I'll listen later but it's good to see that you've picked up on the increased call for McGoldrick to come back into the fold. He's gone from being "not good enough" a few weeks ago in the eyes of many to now being "the glue that holds the forward line together". Who said football fans were fickle?!

'quick pod' had me fearing this wouldn't last me the walk to and from work, but happy to see it's still the full hour! Always a good start to a Tuesday

Nice to hear some “ Adult “ reaction to our games rather than the sack em / back em comments of a few posters
Good listen as always lads
Feet up in my man shed , few beers lovely end to a Monday evening after work

Best bit was Roygbiv view on whether it was a good point or not. I'm in agreement thought, it was definitely "a point"!

Great pod listening again today
As level headed as usual

If we pull one of the strikers and play with a “number 10” (and I’m in agreement that we should try it), which striker should we go with?
I’d be tempted to go with Billy, assuming the number 10 is McG/Freeman.

Thank you guys once again. Great listen once again, carnt believe it’s another two weeks before we play again. I’m even getting a Little bored of this premier league lark. And , dare I say it, abit bored of the way we are playing! Would like us try something different at home at least

Hope some ago are slagging off the strikers give that a listen. I do take the point could they do more, but I think that’s minute. Like, I don’t think either of them aren’t working hard, they’re working their bollocks off, they’re just very isolated.

I’d like to see the 2-1-2 again but it’s hard to know when to stick or twist.

Finally managed to listen to this. Excellent pod and some really good points.

interesting to listen to it following the fantastic arsenal game and result, but I think Roygbiv was probably too cautious in his “don’t worry if we go into the bottom 3” comments.

I honestly haven’t seen anything to suggest that we will have a run of 3-4 games without any points, we will keep picking points up at home and away.

I agree that Watford was our poorest performance though, but last night was probably our best.
