Hopefully we can knick a point but cant see it.
The worry is that QPR and Reading will pull out a result from somewhere. Something we look uncapable of. Although Watford are a bonkers club and as Huddersfield showed can be beaten at Vicarage Rd.
on the sky red button :thumbup:
Watched Reading v Burnley and they weren't bad......
It does look like its between us, QPR and Reading. Max of 2 wins will see any of those safe.
If we show the same level of attacking intent as we did for an hour v Sheff we will get something at Watford.
On the other hand, if our defence is as suspect as it was, another defeat beckons.
Trouble with Watford is the sheer amount of individual quality they have. If Pedro or Sarr are on it then I think it'll be a long night for or defendersQuote:

Reading not easy to beat and at home aren't as awful as they were down here.
Think it's us or qpr for who can be less shit.
Wonder if the manager will shake the team up a bit. Not too many options, but Alnwick, Romeo and Davies could come into the team. Where is Colwill? Seems like Harris and Whyte have played their last games for us.
Watford are a strange team but have enough individual quality to make it tough for us. 2-0 Watford, our best hope is the Huddersfield/Rotherham games
Bellers is going to make sure we play their U12s on the last day.Quote:

It's a shame they beat Bristol City last weekend to retain an outside chance of a play-off finish.
I’m guessing there’s no chance we’ll see Callum Robinson back before the end of the season? We really could do with him in the side for the last few games
I suspect we will see a few changes to freshen the team up with a view to a more winnable game Saturday.
Alnwick
Romeo
Cedric
Ng
McGuinness
ODowda
Sawyers
Ralls
Wintle
Etete
Davies
No Kaba?Quote:

Watfords record this season against the bottom 6 is not a great read ..
So you think that Rotherham and Huddersfield are safe ? Like to know how you worked that out.Quote:

I agree it does look like it's between the 3 mentioned, come Saturday night it might not.
Yeah, but when we stuff them 6-0...Quote:

Bacuna doubtful for tomorrow.
Shame.
imagine he scored a screamer against us thoughQuote:

Our best players are either injured (Robinson, O'Dowda) or on loan with one foot out the door (Philogene, Kipre).
Everything else is a steamy pile of useless shit.
Watford 2-0.
That was a crucial point both picked up last night, but more so hudds as we have two games in hand on them, obv tonight doesn’t really count as we are bound to lose and the other being the farce up north, another we are fated to lose after looking like winning the original game…..Quote:

Fancy us tonight boysQuote:

I think it best that I dont watch the game tonight or follow the scores and just wait till 10pm when I can get the bad news in one go.
Supporting your team doesn't get easier with age.
Going go tonight, any recommended pubs for Away fans ?
I found the opposite, the older I get the more I realise it’s not the be all and end all (unless we’re playing the jacks).Quote:

And if I’m going for a prediction I’d say 1-1
Romeo and O’Dowda start so better options at wing back tonight hopefully.
I’d love a big game for Etete but I just don’t see it, I’d have played Wickham.

Not the best team, not confident now, but who knows at this time in the season, things might just fall into place amd we may actually get a bit of luck.
