Okay limited internet access = limited research = slightly unreliable conclusions but here's a stab at Watford.

Watford fans feel free to correct and Derby fans debate away ... it's not all doom and gloom ... honest.
Yours in Mojaca-esque optimism.

I can only you once again 2W, a superb summation of possibilities/downfall!
..and yes, I'm optimistic! oh wait, hang on....
No I'm not
This is going to be bloody tough. Sometimes though, adversity has been our friend. I think the key is a very disciplined performance. Our decimation through injury won't help this I fear, but, I soldier on, head above the parapet of reality, ripe for the brickbats!

Big statement there Spart. Yep Moj deffo agree on discipline being key.

Blimey Ive only just read what Spart said....It looks like he's a had a 'Road to Damascus' moment!

Another one for the insurgency methinks:
That's 666, Iwas and Spart that have now bravely committed themselves to martyrdom.
I of course will have to co-ordinate, which means I will sadly not be able to join these men above men in their time of eternal glory.

Some wield the sword 2W, some are merely the scabbard.... (but I hear you can get ointment for that)

Having read that, Wellies, I'm depressed.
But teams have off days, and all games are different.
That's my plan.

Mmmm the idea was to make it seem like they were beatable ... guess I need to re-write it.
It depressed me in the sense I can't see us having the financial resources to play like Watford play, but I still think our way of playing away from home, as unpopular as it is might be the best way to take them on.
I don't rate them defensively and think they would not be able to play like that in the Premiership they would get picked off easily by the better teams.
Break up their play and we'll be in with a shout.
Oh n be happy...at worse it'll be a good education for us and the team on what can be achieved through attacking football.

Excellent analysis, thanks 2W. I agree that defence is the weak link for Watford and that our much maligned 4-5-1 could just do it.
I'm optimistic about this game. Could well be the away victory against good opponents that reignites team confidence and belief, on the back of which we surge back up the table and on to everlasting glory.
Only roblem is I've been optimistic about all our away games this season - and look where that's got us!
