Watford Matchday Thread

[Tony Towner]

It's another of Jackett's genius or idiot line ups. Other than the full backs I don't mind it as long as Henry is the one behind the forward. Let's hope after the match people are saying the former

 

[YoungWolf]

The only explanation for Hause playing must surely be that Golbourne still isn't 100% fit, though then the question is why is he on the bench? I like Hause, I think he has a really good future here but he's being played out of position and it's not that fair on him.

 

[NoodleWolf]

There is obviously still some concern over Golbourne's foot. And maybe KJ has seem something and he feels Iorfa needs a rest/break.

Will be interesting to see how Henry does in the middle if he is indeed playing there.

 

[The Bear]

Why on earth do people want Henry behind the forward? He's a winger with nothing but a decent delivery to his game. At least VLP has pace, can dribble and played up front before so could be ok there.

 

[Nando]

4-4-2 diamond for Watford by the looks of it with a shite RB and a CB at LB.

 

[Tony Towner]

Because if it's RVLP which would be 442 we will get battered and if it is then why wouldn't you play Dicko?

I agree. It'll surely be VLP up top with Afobe. Henry has never played centrally so not sure why he would start there today.

 

[PuntsWolf]

As tony says, if you're gonna play VLP centrally you should play Dicko.

Not seen VLP and Afobe together centrally before so couldn't possibly say, but to use that as a reason to play Henry as the #10 for the first time seems odd.

He obviously wants to play 4231 but not Edwards! Can't argue wort that!

 

[Norman Deeley]

does anyone know if Iorfa is injured? Nash the Witless casts no light on it. Iorfa was Football League Young player of the Month not so long ago FFS

 

[machin05]

A lot of Watford fans here. Hope we create a good atmosphere for the lads.

It's not his job to know about young players, be fair!!

 

[Parkins left foot]

We kick off

 

[Tony Towner]

It's Henry behind Afobe

 

[wanderer89]

I actually think Henry will do well behind the striker.

 

[Parkins left foot]

Already had some impact as a ball forward from Hause is held by Afobe, back to Henry who's through ball puts Afobe through. Comes to nothing as he is forced wide but some encouragment

 

[Parkins left foot]

VLP brought down running at the Watford defence - Sako FK cleared

 

[YoungWolf]

Gomes spills a cross, looks like it's dropping in but he grabs it

 

[Parkins left foot]

Another VLP run , cross into the box causes some confusion. Gomes tries to claim the ball, but drops it & just recovers on the line.

Might not have been given though as a Wolves player all over Gomes at the time
