Watford match thread

Recommended Posts

Very open game. Must be knackered. Our fullbacks aren’t looking great.

Apparently we use it because our players aren't tall enough to man mark.

I guess if I was being very generous this sort of makes sense. But then we still end up with someone like Lewis being bullied by Dawson every game

Yeah, even if we generally use zonal marking we should realise that some teams tend to send the big men forward more than others and adjust accordingly by man marking. Stiepermann would have been a better match for Dawson.

One of the reasons we’ve struggled this season

Indeed. They all seem 6'2 tall!

Efan Ekoku, he's awful.

Has he got some grudge with us?

For the first time since the break I don't want any changes. It's a game PUKKI can score in

There’s no way Mario and Steipermann will last 90 minutes

Our lack of physicality is a huge problem I think. We lack a couple of real warriors. Controversial with some but we could do with Hanley in this defence

We are not physical enough.

Sometimes it's not obvious but against a team like Watford which is like 10 6ft mountains plus Will Hughes it really is clear

This is what is so frustrating about it. We just worked that out in under 5 mins. But it’s been 3 years of watching it every game. Granted it sticks out a lot more when we are not scoring and winning games

Efan must have a minor dose of Millstownsenditis.....

Quite.

 

Reminds me of some of last season's games.

He is being honest. If we take off our yellow and green glasses... every neutral / manager has said the same all season. The pundits pointed out our problems against Liverpool in the first game... last August. Perhaps we should take some criticism on board.
