Cambridge was an aberration, but I feel like we've been playing pretty well before that, despite some howkings. I'd obviously love us to get some more business done ASAP, but as others have said we can name pretty much the XI that should have beaten Man Utd. Even if we don't sign anyone by Saturday, which I'd be amazed at, I'll still be heading to the ground feeling like it's a game we should be winning with these players. If no changes and Gayle & Lascelles are fit, I'd go: Dubravka Murphy Krafth Lascelles Schar Trippier Fraser Shelvey Joelinton Saint-Maximin Gayle That's some optimism. I've still got hope for the transfer window but it's pretty clear that we're navigating a pretty bumpy road despite (/because of?) the riches behind us. Clearly the powers that be have no interest in 'just getting bodies in' at this stage, so I'll be very surprised if there's any arrivals in the next 72 hours.

The Prophet Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 I don't think there's any chance Gayle is starting like, ASM has always started up top in Wilson's absence. I think it could be the same front three we saw away to Liverpool. I had a basic look at ASM's involvement when he's started on his own up top this season. Five games, one goal, two assists.

Geordie Magpie Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 This game is massive for us as we've been saying about nearly every game but it's true this game is huge. Win we have a chance, lose and I think we go down. We've desperately needed new bodies in before this game and as time goes on I think we won't have signed anyone else in time for this game. It has draw or lose written all over it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 If nobody else comes in then Gayle, if fit, should start up front. He's incredibly limited but he is an actual striker who stays in the right positions and does have a half-decent finish in him against lower level opposition. Other options in that position are ASM, Big Joe or, dare I say it, Joe Willock. I'd take Gayle over any of those as a striker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

r0cafella Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Absolutely terrifying people suggesting we should play a 2 man midfield which consists of Shelvey. it’s been proven time and time again to be a disaster class. if you want to play a 2 man midfield Shelvey can’t be one of them.

I think the three of Joe/Shelvey & Almiron in the 10 hole are more than enough of a center midfield for Watford. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Howe tries to compensate by asking his defenders to squeeze up field but our lack of pace at the back makes this risky too. It is true that Watford are in dreadful form though, but they do have a crafty manager who knows football extremely well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
