Midlands Yellow 3,825 Posted December 25, 2020 (edited) Here’s the Hornets take on it, not overly complimentary about us. Anyway 3.2 to Norwich and the march goes on. http://wfcforums.com/index.php?threads/watford-fc-vs-norwich-city-26-12-2020-19-45-ko.57896/ Edited December 25, 2020 by Midlands Yellow Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dylanisabaddog 4,746 Posted December 25, 2020 (edited) Thanks for the link. The summary of the game includes this. From a Watford fan.....

Newtopia 513 Posted December 25, 2020 Thanks for the link, seems a pretty fair assessment from their fans, (although i believe several of our players are better than average). I was surprised that they seemed to accept the pantomime of changing manager. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even our highlights show we've played some very good football. From that comment you would think all we do is hoof it upfront. Far from it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ha ha, what utter nonsense from a Watford fan that clearly hasn’t watched us. We play with intricacy, flair and skill as I’m sure he or she will discover to their detriment tomorrow. I’ve seen Watford several times this season and they’ve been utter crap! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Newtopia 513 Posted December 26, 2020 A draw would be a good result, I have.a feeling Watford will be a bit disorganised, i.e. they have been prepared to play defensively most of the season, and Munoz will want to shape the side, but takes time. On balance i reckon a 1 0 win. OTBC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jim Smith 2,290 Posted December 26, 2020 2-2. Laughable comment referred to above about our style of football but then quite a few of their fans were massive g**by t**ts last time they came to Carrow Road so perhaps have got ideas above their tiny little station. they have some good players and will be pumped for this due to the manager going. This is a very hard game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

......and Smith must score. 1,311 Posted December 26, 2020 Somehow I think we might get beat tonight not because they're any better than us but that ' new manager bounce ' might kick in. 2-1 loss. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Well b back 3,140 Posted December 26, 2020 Should we win that pretty much means we have swept all aside, other than Bournemouth that was in the first few weeks. This we would have done with a number of injuries, we still probably have 4 positions where we have our best player in a particular position still injured or on the bench ( Krul, Quintilla, Rupp and Gibson ) although to be fair you could argue it would be difficult to drop any of the deputies. Extreme bad luck aside we will be much stronger in the second half of the season. Keep a clean sheet tonight ( even if it’s 0-0 ) means we can stop anyone in this division scoring past us and there are no better physical centre forwards ( who are often the ones that destroy us in the past ) in this division than Troy Deeney ( love him or loathe him ). It will be a very tight game and I am hoping we don’t lose tonight therefore, which just tightens things up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sonyc 5,447 Posted December 26, 2020 I think a draw. I am more worried as the game gets closer. Last week I would have said we would sneak a win. The new manager has stated he needs his team to "fight like an animal" and I don't really like the sound of that. It reminds me of Wimbledon on a Boxing Day many years ago when we might get a drubbing. And yet, under Farke, haven't our Boxing Day blues been banished? 1-1 would be my tip and happy to take that right now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(though being dropped would be harsh on Sorensen) While I don't think this is the best game to test him out (prehaps the cup will be better for this) but start Quintilla at left back and Sorenson at his natural midfield position?
