Watford (A) | 21.03.26 | KO 15:00

[Dan]

You know how certain results just happen quite frequently like a 2-2 draw at Stoke. Well Watford 2-1 Leicester has happened many times before and it will happen again.

[Simonb]

1-1 and with this bunch of characterless bottlers, id be happy with a point

[DJW1]

I´m being serious here. If nothing else this will surprise Watford (4-4-1-1)

 

Begovic (if fit)

Aluko

CB1

CB2

Thomas

 

Aribo (I´ve not seen him play but he´s bigger than Skipp!)

Winks

Mavadidi (in the absence of anyone better)

Fatawu

 

JJ (free role)

 

CB3  (to hold it up and win some headers)

 

I really don´t care which of the available CBs play where. Titter if you will, but remember how well Walshie and Elliott did at centre forward. I really can´t bear seeing Daka or Ayew trying to play CF anymore.

[Stavros81]

I have a strong feeling Rowett will almost pick the same 11 but maybe take out Mukasa for Winks and put JJ in the no10 role

Yes Mukasa is a luxury player which we can't afford to carry in the games left. Lascelles has to come in for Nelson or Okoli.

[pmcla26]

Begovic

 

Ricardo

Okoli

Lascelles 

Thomas 

 

Winks 

Skipp 

James 

 

Fatawu

Daka 

Mavididi

[squidsworth]

Just gonna be another note perfected before the generously portioned lady belts out her most famous tune.

3-0 Watford.

How the heck does Nelson get hooked over Okoli?!?! 

[Pliskin]

3-1 Watford, they will piss it.

Yeah i agreee just hope Rowett has the balls to do it. Mukasa bring him on with 15 mins to go. I honestly think he’ll go with Ayew again which will cause a meltdown and very much warranted

Okoli is woeful he really is mistake after mistake 

[Sunbury Fox]

No doubt it will be the same formation and basically the same team. So, another defeat. Next. 

 

At least we have an international break after this!

Okoli is rubbish but Nelson was worse against QPR. 
 

Ideally Vestergaard and Lascelles would both play.

Okoli cannot control or pass a football. Its brain fart after brain fart. Nelson is effectively covering for him and taking on the duties of the CB who progresses the ball. He's effectively covering for Okoli. Its Nelson who needs the experienced head supporting him. Okoli needs putting in the bin.

[Claudio Fannieri]

Won’t happen but this is what I would do - 

 

Stolarcyrk

 

Okoli

Lascelles 

Nelson

 

Aluko 

Skipp

James

Thomas

 

Mukasa

 

Fatawu

Daka 

 

What I actually think he will pick 

 

Begovic (if fit)

 

Ricardo

okoli 

Lascelles

Thomas

 

Winks

JJ

 

Fatawu

Reid

Mavididi

 

Daka 

[Tielemans63]

I'd drop both Okoli and Nelson if Lascelles and Vestergaard are fit (they won't be) as the pair of them were an absolute joke against QPR.

He cannot pick Okoli and Nelson the need a rest and if Vesty and Lascelles are fit enough they should start with Skipp in front to break the game up - if Begovic is fit he has to come in too.

 

we need a backbone or spine that can show leadership - it’s the only way we have any chance of surviving.

I get the feeling that this could so easily be us this season.

[Ian Nacho]

Don't win this and I think our relegation is all but confirmed. 

[FoxesTalker]

Watford at home to Wrexham tonight. If they fail to win, it will be exactly a month on Saturday since their last home win.

Welcome Dr Leicester, not scored in weeks, no bother we can give your strikers confidence, not won in a month, we have just the solution a confidence boosting home fixture against Leicester.

If others pick up points it will be. With the international break it will just compound the misery. 

 

However win it, and I fancy us for the next two 👀

Let’s not hear any bullshit about tiredness or fitness with Watford playing tonight

Strangely they were in the same position as we are now, that was the year they stayed up on the last day at our place when we needed to win to have a chance of automatic promotion.
