That really is unforgivable. Pathetic.

[Mark 'expert' Lawrenson]

Not too displeased with the line up, no Hamza and Ayew is a bonus and has lifted my spirits 🤣 

3-2 Watford

Barring Okoli and Mavididi it's a good lineup (for our level). 

It’s about time Mav turned up and got a goal or two.

Lets be honest, nelson needed taking out after last week

Whether he needed to or not is up for debate but surely nobody can argue that Rowett is justified by taking him out. Would rather it be Okoli as Nelson should be a better foil for Lascelles

Dropped Nelson ahead of Okoli. 
 

Pretty Special that. 
 

At least there’s no Hamza and Ayew. 

Just Ricardo, Okoli & Thomas. 

Exciting afternoon of Ricardo and Thomas passing backwards for Okoli to pass to their midfield.

He could score 5 goals from now until the end of the season as his output will still have been awful. Monga must be off in the summer otherwise it's bizarre he hasn't been given more of a chance

[Md9]

Be nice when ayew is never even on the bench again so they don’t have the option of bringing him on. 

[Number 6]

Nelson was poor last game and did give Bristol a pen in the game prior. We have been our own worst enemy on terms of gifting opposition ways back in to games, though taking out people who make mistakes probably leaves us unable to field an 11.

No Jordan Ayew in the starting 11

Yeah but the **** is still on the bench so no doubt we'll have to suffer him for at least 30 minutes when no doubt we'll be chasing goals to get even a point.

[Finnegan]

It might be shit but that's probably our strongest 11. Jury probably out on Okoli vs Nelson but you'd have to have massive local lad bias to deny Nelson has been pretty shit lately and had to be dropped after QPR. 

 

I'm not particularly confident we'll get a result. Maybe a draw which isn't quite good enough. But that's the best team to do something anyway.

Doesn't matter when you've got a water tight defence ......... oh hang on

Therefore a 2-1 win incoming, Ayew last minute winner 🔮 

[Plastik Man]

Daka with the perfect hat trick.

 

1 off each arse cheek and the 3rd deflected off his cock.

[Dandy king]

Really good to see a manager who's not afraid to try something different , shake things up so he can get a result......oh hang on

Nelson is absolute rubbish and has been all season, Okoli not much better to be fair. Neither would would be anywhere near a half decent side

[Mickyblueeyes]

James doesn’t work in the 10.

[TheLittleBigMan]

Gutted. I really wanted Ayew to start. 

[Clarkey123]

Can’t argue with any of the team selection. Fair play Gary.

Yes got to be worth a protest next home game  ...  no Ayew.... no chance 

[fazzyfox]

Even though we don’t do clean sheets I foresee a 0-0, solid(ish), cancelling each other out, and just a bit safe and cagey. 

[kingfox]

Chakvetadze and Irankunda both starting 😕 one of Ricardo or Thomas might actually physically shit themselves.

So we've massively outperformed our xG then.

Marti, King and Gazza performing miracles...

Basically as good as we've got. If we can't get a result with all our best players on the pitch we may as well pack it in.

We are going to struggle

Their captain is a Louza, we have plenty of our own.

 

The top 3 look like someone’s just put their hand in a scrabble bag and pulled out random letters.

Okoli is mentally stronger than Nelson after last weeks game I think its the right descsion

 

Guess he could have tried BDCR instead of Mav

On what basis? 
 

Okoli looks like a rabbit in the headlights
