rjw63 Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 (edited) Watford will win tonight, and there's no way we are clawing back 5 points AND goal difference. Been prepared for weeks that we'll be giving knuckledraggers and vermin felchers their cup final twice a season next term.

I agree with a previous poster; Hourihane should start every game; his spot kicks are invaluable, and he may even score. El Ghazi up front. Again mentioned by a previous poster. Good idea. Can he be any worse than what we have up front? This is the time for Smith and co to earn their huge salaries and do something different in a last attempt to keep us up. Agree RE Hourihaine, I am no means a fan of him at all, but what cannot be doubted is that he gets goals from midfield, and right now when we look so poor in the final third I think he must start- I keep thinking back to the Norwich game boxing day, how vital was that! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 3 hours ago, omariqy said: Massive game tonight. How we feeling? Not that confident since I saw Norwich team news. Todd Cantwell out and Tetty and McLean doubts so going to be a pretty weak midfield. Hopefully they'll go 2 upfront (Idah looked lively for them at the weekend) with Buendia in a free role. There is no way we're staying up just winning one game imo. We've always needed to win two games even if that seems pretty unlikely so a Watford win wouldn't change too much for me other than making things more difficult. If Watford then follow up with a win v Newcastle we are as good as down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 We had to win really a couple of our first 5 games. Had we beaten instead of drawing with Shef Utd and Newcastle we would be fine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, it’s not a forgone conclusion that Watford will beat Norwich. And not a foregone conclusion that we’re doomed if that scenario comes to fruition by next weekend. I guess tonight will define our season, which is in itself a very sad state of affairs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hippo Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 1 hour ago, Djemba_Villan said: The way Norwich are still, just about, in touching distance, but not too close is probably good for us. means they will go into tonight thinking it’s a possible route out of relegation. A draw would be a brilliant result for us too. Sadly I think Norwich being desparate for a win/draw will have little bearing on the result Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyblade Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 Watford going for it with Welbeck and Deeney up front. Norwich finally starting Pukki though. I don't know about you guys, but I'd take a drab 0-0 draw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
