A draw would still be ok at the stage so I’m not as nervous as most of you…. (Obviously want a win) Cliched I know ha ha, but it’s that simple with this game. I fear a loss or even a draw will just compound the inevitability of relegation, a win would be huge. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 I can't fucking take a VAR or a idiotic Iniesta ref decision going against us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mathematically it’s not over if we lose today but Christ when and who are we going to beat if we can’t be Watford today? They’ve been dreadful recently, we have to put them away.

They’ve been dreadful recently, we have to put them away. Exactly, they are on a worse run of form than us and arguably a worse team than us, we just have to win, by any means. I’d be happy with a scrappy 1-0 win, but if we can win well with a good performance after last weekend, that will say a lot, providing we keep it up… Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 (edited) Key is getting momentum early on and get the crowd positive and believing, and a early goal to ease nerves a bit. 0-0 for too long will allow Watford the chance to slowly grow into the game. It will quiet the crowd and the stadium gets anxious and frustrated and our players will struggle even more. Absolutely massive that we get a good start or the pressure will eat our players. They aren't the ones who can handle it ideally. And focus ffs, no silly mistakes or goals. Edited January 15, 2022 by Ikon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fantail Breeze Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 It’d be a monumental fuck up if we don’t win this, a bigger one than last week imo. They’re seriously shite. I’d rather play them than Norwich at the moment. Howe has to start delivering consistent results during this run of games. We’re better than them on paper and have the momentum through the takeover and new signings behind us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lovejoy Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Think we may have a keeper covid issue (based on the fact that none of the main 3 feature in the training pics and Langley was pulled from the 23’s game last night). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus most teams cause us problems defensively, as Cambridge fucking United highlighted last week. So we need to start creating consistently and actually taking our chances. As a clean sheet seems highly unlikely for us. Or for them, to be fair. I think the game is such a massive MUST NOT LOSE for both teams. That it is going to be a really tense and cagey game. I can’t see either team committing too many forward and taking risks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitley mag Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Tricky balancing act today for Howe they’re not great, but play a high line against Pedro, Dennis and King we could get caught out. Confident we’ll score but patience is the key today from team and fans. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think with the crowd if we get at that defence early they’ll crack. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
