[Aston max]

I actually like most Watford fans they're a bit like us fairly grounded and don't actually expect to much !! Although my my mate tells me they have (like us ) quite a few bedwetters , oh and they hate Luton.

 

[Keen Blade]

I'm old-school with wingers - start JRS on the R & Brooks on the L - they can swap over at will during the game - give oppo defence something to fear.

 

[Pollingtonblade]

2 1 to us this

 

[Frankie as in Howard]

Watford been good at coming back and winning from going behind. United 1 up with 10 minutes left, lose 2-1

When was that loss cos not this season

 

[loyalblade95]

Sunday 3pm kickoff is a new one. Going for a 3-2 blades win, Souttar, Blaster and Brooks.

Saw it mentioned that Shackleton might be fit enough for the bench as well.

 

[Melbourne Blade]

It's definitely 3pm yeah? Sky sports saying coverage starts at 3.30pm

 

[Bladezz]

Everyone can guess the team as we have no one else after the starting XI so that’s nice and easy for us this year. There isn’t really any discussion to be made other than Brooks or Rak Sayki. The rest picks itself.

We will dominate for large parts of the game. We will go ahead and perform really well for 60 minutes. Watford will make changes we don’t have that luxury. Watford will come back into the game (some fans will blame wilder and some will blame the lack of options).

Can we see out the inevitable storm at the end? That’s all it comes down too, and in essence that’s basically our season until January.

Yes, it’s a 3pm kick off.

[ancientblade]

think we will nick this one 2 - 1 vital game a win will take us to 8th and handily placed before the break

 

[ITALIANO BLADE]

PARDON!

 

[Tony_Kaufman]

I could take a draw today as Watford are looking good this season, but we cannot have yet another defeat at Bramall Lane. Absolutely not, no way.

 

[jono_t2000]

I just want a home win because it's been soooooo long

 

[AnstonBlade1]

Can’t see us scoring 0-2

 

[Frank the tank]

Can’t see us scoring 0-2

 

[SB_90]

this going to be tough game. Watford have started very well & they have jebbo which will be an interesting start to the game. but it just depends which team we see today if we get the QPR 1st half, id fancy us to beat anyone in this league as it looked for all to see that it was going to be 4 or 5-0.

but i hope that 2nd half was an anomaly, because otherwise we are in big trouble. id fancy us to lose to anyone in this league. because you cannot be as bad in possession as we were & you cant pin that on the manager. because at HT i highly doubt he said can you pretend that ball is a hot potato & as soon as it get it can you hoof it 60yd. so Opposition can have build up wave after wave of pressure. that's on the players who cracked under pressure

 

[Pintor75]

Think we'll win 2-1, had a draw no bet on hornets though, just in case!

 

[JayGreen17]

Heart says 2-1 blades, head says 2-0 Watford.

 

[Harry's Game]

It’s too early to say it’s a must win for the team this season but I think it’s a huge game for Wilder today I sense more and more fans are becoming sceptical that it’s going to work out for him this time, he badly needs a win.

The only other decision is which 2 out of the 3 central defenders we go for, assuming JLT is fit.

I got out of breath reading that

 

[1973Blade]

Since Graham Taylor left his first spell as Watford boss, they have had 32 managers.

well you need to get fitter then

Is Souttar competing?

 

[Davalon]

And now Wilder in media asking for Jebbo to be given a hostile reception - you know what happens after these sort of emotive comments.
I wish Wilder would keep his trap shut

What's he said?

 

[Edgar Allan Poo]

Since Graham Taylor left his first spell as Watford boss, they have had 32 managers.

Another one after today's mauling.

 

[Nedski]

No Brooks in the squad?
