Maybe?

 

You think Chuk could be ready for a PL start?

Interesting first game, will be nice to see some of the new signings in action. With Ings and Watkins both top strikers it's hard to know whether they will rotate or both play - it will make it harder for the opposition to know what to expect as we were becoming predictable at times last year. Losing Grealish and bringing in new players does mean it will be a lot harder for oppositions to work us out before the game, but those tactics will be new to us as well.

Got to say  I’m a bit concerned about this one. They will be fully revved up, starting back in the Prem at home, fans back for the first time in …for ever, and meanwhile we are short a number of players through …well a number of reasons, new players not yet bedded in, with a pre season that has been seismic in it’s disruptive influence, and short of credible pre season game time…..

Just see it as very likely that we look ‘half baked’ and not joined up as a team

Hope I’m wrong!

Watford fans still bear a big grudge for the game when we scored a last minute winner at Villa Park - the goal was credited to Mings and they thought he should have been sent off earlier in the game - they very much hold that game up as a big reason why they were relegated.

They will very, very up for this.

Team will probably be something like this:

------------------------Martinez-----------------------------

Cash---------Konsa---------Mings---------Targett

----------------McGinn------Nakamba-----------------

Traore---------------Buendia----------------Watkins

-----------------------------Ings-------------------------------

 

If Bailey is available he would probably start over Traore but I'm guessing he'll only make the bench at best.

 

Alternatively we could go with 3 in the middle with McGinn, Nakamba and Sanson and Buendia, Watkins and Ings as our front three.

 

It's important we start the season well as games 1-3 are winnable before a tough run of fixtures from gameweek 4 including Manure, Spuds, Chelsea and Arse away. Our record at Watford hasn't been good recently but anything over than 3 points will be disappointing.

Is there a decent pre match write up for this one out yet? With fan free sterility, I did not take much of notice of Championship so I am bit clueless.

What will their team look like? Who will be danger-men (piss off Troy)? How did they fair last season? Who have they signed? What has their preseason been like?

Wouldn’t be my first choice obviously but this is how I think we’ll line up next weekend:
 

------------------------Martinez-----------------------------

Cash---------Konsa---------Mings---------Targett

----------------McGinn------Nakamba-----------------

JPB   ---------------   Ings  ----------------   Young

------------------------Watkins-----------------------------



edit - if Watkins is out, then i’d go with

 

------------------------Martinez-----------------------------

Cash---------Konsa---------Mings---------Targett

----------------McGinn------Nakamba-----------------

JPB   ---------------   Carney  ----------------   Young

-------------------------    Ings   -----------------------------

Hopefully Buendia and Watkins will be fit for this one. After watching the match today I think I'd go with:

Emi

Cash Konsa Mings Targett

Marv McGinn

Young Chuk Traore

Watkins (Ings)

Subs: Steer, Hause, Tuanzebe, Hourihane, JBP, Buendia, Ings (Ramsey if Ings starts)

Not far away but I'd be shocked if Ings doesn't start and Bertie clearly not up to speed.
