No Brooks in the squad?

Injured

Sold to Leeds

When did Watford become the fucking Galacticos?? They’re an average Championship team with a rookie manager. Some of you have a proper inferiority complex.

Some proper quims

 

[jono_t2000]

Larouci starts with Jebbo on the bench for them

 

[Irv]

Pearl-clutching over fucking WATFORD- less backbone than a bag of slugs.
They’ve played Plymouth, Derby and Stoke so far - how will we EVER compete?!??!?

 

[Berkshire Blade]

Concussion protocol

Think I saw them supporting at Brixton academy once

I think it's just a hangover from last season. We haven't signed a squad that will easily brush the league aside so any team with an alright side look like someone who could turn us over.

A few on here don't seem to deal with competition or defeat very well. I don't wish to be the bearer of bad news but we will lose some games this season, yknow, like every single season ever before.

 

[Thrice]

Shame about Brooks, but I like this starting 11.

Souttar and Anel together will be interesting. Hopefully they have a good game to keep Robinson on the bench for a while when he returns.

Nope, genuinely do think that the fan base is way, way more pessimistic on average than others. You just need to read the "must buy more players or we're fucked" straw-clutching posts from some people when we have any position where we don't have at least three players with over 200 Championship appearance, I do wonder how some of them sleep at night

 

[Dkc]

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.

Those sceptical fans need to realise that it takes a while to build a new team that can challenge for promotion. Last time Wilder managed in the Championship it took him two seasons to get out. First season was a top half finish, and that's what I am hoping for this time. Anything better is a bonus.

For me Wlder should have this season and next to show what his team can do. We will lose plenty of games along the way, but there shouldn't be huge pressure on Wilder if our league record is W1 D2 L1 after today.

PARDON!

Head injuries are literally the last thing you fuck about with. It is there for a very good reason

 

[HarryHaslam]

I’m sure Wilder will be sending the majority of the play down the right wing especially early and attack Larouchi, he’s hopeless.

Literally just this week a Aussie cricketer had to retire as he kept on getting concussions due to ignoring them when younger and now he gets them really easily.

Of course your years in medical School might mean you know better.

One of the stupidest things I've ever read on here

 

[Large Mendonca]

Larouchi is like a Sainsbury’s Max Lowe

I can only assume you have a concussion yourself to post something this stupid.

Think it began in the Elton/Taylor era when they had John Barnes up front

Seems like you've had a head injury of your own, coming out with such a pile of guff.

Luther Blissett is going to bag at least 2 against our shit back 4.

 

[DifferentClass]

PARDON!

I never promised you a rose garden.

 

[Thrice]

Larouci is playing for Watford? Didn't even know that.

 

[Thrice]

What a goal.

 

[Thrice]

Larouci with a new haircut as well. Didn't even recognise him at first.

Looks like he’s shifted some timber anall

We still look frail at the back
