    Re: CARDIFF CITY v WATFORD. Match thread


    • Cardiff have lost just one of their last six home league meetings with Watford (W4 D1), though it was the last such match in December 2014 (2-4).
    • Watford are looking to secure their first league double over Cardiff since the 2005-06 campaign, when they were in the Championship.
    • Cardiff won their only previous Premier League game played on a Friday, beating Wolves 2-1 back in November.
    • Cardiff are looking to win three consecutive top-flight league games for the first time since February 1961.
    • Watford have kept a clean sheet in three of their last four Premier League matches, as many as they had in their last 21 in the competition. They're looking to record three consecutive league shutouts for the first time since September 2017.
    • No team has scored more 90th-minute goals in the Premier League this season than Cardiff (5), with three of those being winning goals - also a joint league-high.
    • 21% of Cardiff's Premier League goals this season have been scored by their substitutes (5/24), the highest ratio in the division.
    • Cardiff have already won as many Premier League games this season (7/26) as they did in their previous campaign in the competition in 2013-14 (7/38).
    • This will be Cardiff manager Neil Warnock's 38th meeting with Watford in all competitions (W13 D7 L17), making them the club he's faced the most in his managerial career. Against no other side has he lost more games than he has against the Hornets (17, also vs Reading).
    • All 10 of Watford's Premier League victories this season have come with Abdoulaye Doucoure in the starting lineup, with the Hornets failing to win all four games the Frenchman has not started (D3 L1).

    GKs are out on the pitch but Etheridge isn’t there. Hope he’s just a bit slow getting his boots on.

    Morrison back

    Arter, Ralls and Bacuna in midfield, Camarasa not in the squad. Warnock changing things up a bit. Looking forward to seeing what Bacuna can do given his solid performance in the brief spells he’s had so far.

    Or could Bacuna be in to make up a back 5 ?

    Im not sure throwing Morrison back in is a good idea I hope I'm wrong

    Watford absolutely destroyed us for 80 mins in the reverse fixture - hope we learn from that. Their front six is a pretty impressive line up actually.

    If we’re all action and pressing hard, I think we have a chance of 3 points. If we sit back and play a similar style to the Southampton game I think they’ll pick us off and we’ll lose. Can’t see it being 0-0, but wouldn’t be too disappointed if I’m proved wrong in that

    I’d have been sure it was a back 5 if Murphy wasn’t in the starting line up. His inclusion makes me think that might not be the case though

    I think/hope you are right. Don’t think we want to sit back too much tonight. We will no doubt have to soak up some pressure but a back 5 would keep us too defensive.

    Where's Camarasa - not in the squad, not on the bench and not listed amongst missing players

    It is going to be hard enough staying up without shite like that.

    He will come out with his tail between his legs and give up 5 pointless freekicks on the halfway line to make up for it.

    You won't see a clearer penalty this season.
    Absolute sickener!

    that feck up could cost us millions, the sooner we get video

    Re: CARDIFF CITY v WATFORD. Match thread

    Any Watford fan in the world would have to say that that was a pen all day long... Awful decision. We've had a fair few go our way this season though to be fair...
