Hope this isn’t a jinx but you’ll be top 2/3 easily I feel !

 

I guess a point decision could be the main concern .

Bookmark this so we can blame @Super_horns when we don't :P.

 

Also, what are you expectations for the season for Watford?

What I’ve taken from the first weekend is that most teams are wanting to play high lines, and it is so far completely undoing them. 
 

In short, it’s precisely why we can’t play. Vesty…. He would be the major glaring weakness if we did. 

Nelson and Okoli all day for me!

I think people need to calm down a bit with all this piss the league comments after one game. New players, new managers. All the teams will get better.

Time will tell. Fact is though matchday 1 had a lot of very low quality football games. Still early but in comparison last season matchday 1 had in total 40 goals. We're now in 23.goals with our game only left to be played. 

I know there are always matchdays with low scoring games everywhere but l can't overlook the fact most of the games were a bit on the scrappy side.

So 17-0 brings it up to last year's total. Unfortunately I can see them defending deep and scrapping to give nothing away. I can see a 1-0 I am just not sure which way!

Yeah I mean I hope I'm wrong. I think we should just wait a few weeks before we start making bold statements (not saying you have). We haven't even played our first game yet and people already crowning us champions.

We should wait months not weeks. Our midfield is thin and soft, we don't have a striker and it seems unlikely Mavi and Fatawu will carry us by scoring 20 goals each and in addition we don't have a clue about the points deduction. 

I'm optimistic but when I see non footballers like Soumare I'm going straight back to earth.

😆 It's Faes for me. 

 

I do think our attacking options are very good and is one good striker away from being excellent for championship level. Even Ayew will be decent at this level I think.

Faes is still getting called up for international duty. I also don't think he's a good CB but he's alright at this level I guess.

Is it? A young local lad who's done well sponsors them and they've given him his own number whilst our owners are creating and or using fake, dodgy betting companies as way of smuggling in cash to us. The latter is far more embarrassing than the former.

That's 9 players who are either too good for the division or look quality. It's not just our first XI, but our strength in depth that shows promise.

 

First XI is probably going to be, as things stand:

 

GK: Stolarczyk 

RB: Ricardo (C)

CB: Okoli

CB: Nelson

LB: Justin 

CDM: Skipp

CDM: Winks

RW: Mavididi

CAM: El-Khannouss 

LW: Fatawu

ST: Ayew

 

Add a decent striker and that's far too good for most at this level.

 

But then there's our ressies. Let's say these are our seven on the bench.

 

GK: Begovic 

CB: Faes

CB: Vestegaard 

CAM: Alves

RW: Monga

LW: Decordova-Reid

ST: Daka

 

At Championship level, that's a silly level of quality and options. Imagine somehow marking Fatawu out of the game for an hour and then having Monga running at tired legs for the last half hour. Or Daka coming on with the press for the last 15. 

 

And that's before we add any more or consider players like Page and Aluko.

 

You sure about that?

I generally think our fans are slightly delusional from our glory years. Don't take it too personal, there are very many that he's to understand we got relegated because our players aren't very good.

Allocating a squad number and then listing it in the normal squad list, I think is slightly. Marketing gone mad.

 

But no harm done, I just think it's embarrassing to do that.

I think we’re in for a bit of a humbling over the next few weeks. I can see a string of defeats on the horizon. Sooo not convinced by today’s performance, all the same issues we had last season. I think we will just be too easy to score against, and may concede a lot of poor goals.

I’d drive them to jumping out a window….. I was massively optimistic, but then we struggled to beat a club on its arse.

Sheff Wednesday battled hard .. it wasn't a easy match and other teams this season will struggle to beat them ..
