Watford (A) Match Thread

[Langston]

You’d feel 80ft tall if you were Nelson now, not only a first league start but preferred over a bloke who cost a fair wedge and was playing for England as recently as 2022. Take your chance lad

[ARM1968]

Enzo - picks who wants to. Come on. 

[SecretPro]

ALVESSSSS

[FrankieADZ]

good team that considering we are playing again Tuesday

[TrickyTrevLeftPeg]

Curtains for coady

[Ric Flair]

Odd that Yunus finally makes an impact and then gets completely ignored. Definitely don't want to commit to that permanent deal.

 

Hopefully that midfield works today.

[Noahfence]

Bit cornered about Praet. Hopefully he decides he wants to try today instead of jogging about

Bench back to looking strong too.

[HighPeakFox]

I like Dennis Praet, but even I would have to concede I'd prefer Yunus over him given how invisible he often was against Swansea.

[NaijaFox]

For the (morbidly ) curious, today’s opposing lineup…

Ex-Fox Ben Hamer starts between the sticks for the Hornets.

Nelson in the starting 11 and Alves on the bench. Great to see when there are more experienced options he could've chose. 

 

Not great for Coady though. 

 

I worry about the lack of Vestergaard in the middle when we are playing out from the back, don't really like Faes in the middle as his touch can be hit and miss. And it's a big responsibility for Nelson if he's in the middle.

Yeh I don’t think we are that keen to keep him if we go up.

Stephy carrying a bit of a knock? I like Kasey but he's not a RW for me 

He did pull up with what looked like a hamstring strain against Stoke. Thought he'd be subbed but wasn't so nothing too serious 

[RowlattsFox]

Unlikely with Enzo but could be a more traditional back 4 with Justin playing. He's definitely spotted a threat down the Watford right if he's gone Justin and Mcateer on that side.

Can’t understand getting Coady on a 3yr deal and not playing him, not got an issue with Nelson but play him in the cup game to get some experience.

Nelson’s ceiling is massive. Get him games now and he could be prem ready which will save us a lot of money. 

[HybridFox]

It's Alves time!

[FrankieADZ]

think we'll see Yunus start on Tuesday night tbh

That’s a bit of a boat full. Holy crap. Some good players in that lineup.

Would certainly prefer Yunus, bring alot more energy into the team, here's hoping Praet can be arsed today 

[Bob Weasel Fox]

Come on you Foxes 🦊 💙🙏

[Jonezy]

Interesting with Nelson over Coady. Would have liked Kasey in the middle and Praet on the bench, but Enzo knows best.

[Swarles Barkley]

Looking at twitter looks like the RB is weak link for Watford. Fatawu on that side for that reason maybe

We will go for Sensi over Yunus I think

If he’s got his next deal done with Torino (or whoever), it’s useless to expect any more out of him.  But if he still needs to impress as a free agent, he might show some motivation.  He’s a skilled player for this league.

[Nolucklcfc]

Praet over Yunus?
