WATFORD v DERBY COUNTY Championship #3 |
Saturday 24th August 2024, 1500 Vicarge Road, Watford |
(Don't be alarmed there reallly is two match threads in quick succession)
First time for a 3.00pm kick-off on a Satuday for the first timethis season - 1700 for Fin, 1000 for Dixie, 1500 for Igor and afternoon teatime for Ang.
After an incredible backs to the wall, Alamo, SBT, Bastogne - choose your word - v Middlesbrough, a wave of relief swept Pride Park that was perfectly encasulated by Vidal's little beaming face as he swept majestically along the East touchline drinking in the euphoria. It was very tense but for a team that had 29% possession, totally deserved.
Now to another in-form team. Watford have taken maximum points and look very competent. I'm not sure that the game plan we played on Saturday will work in Vicarage Road.
And after spaffing our next two seasons transfer budget on a 'keeper, the current incumbent plays a blinder which presents a bit of a headache for seletion.
I'll let you lot comment below on individual players 'cos you're better than me at that. But my player Fozzie is still doing us proud.
Saturday is an away sell-out - again. But please be realistic, there will be reality check eventually, we know what we are - sheep 5haggers - and we know what we do
