Watford v Aston Villa Official Match Thread - Sat 14th - 3pm

Anybody know why we kept playing Young at left back instead of Targett in most preseasons? I thought that was weird unless Matt is injured?

Injured. Perhaps the question is why was Targett playing left back today when he clearly wasn't ready and was up against one of the quickest wingers in the league

 

[Fulford]

The same manager who got us promoted first time, when we were miles off when he joined. Kept us in the league after a huge amount of changes. Then moved us up to 11th the following season.

Behave

The same manager that relied on one player and hadn't got a clue when that player was out.

 

[Pangloss]

That freekick delivery is unacceptable

 

[Tom Cat]

When was the last time we got anything from being 2 down?

Behave

Get fucked with the behave BS, I’m on about now not 3 fucking years ago in the Championship.

and if I remember rightly we were in free fall until Jack came back and we won10 on the bounce, and we all know that covid saved us from the drop.

big lads this watford lot

 

[Stephen Jay Hawkings]

Can anyone take a fucking set piece?!

He had a knock early on.

 

[Bonker]

Buendia is not a number 10. All the games I've seen him play for Norwich he was wide right so why the feck is Smith playing him there.

I'd prefer him a bit deeper tbh but he's never going to be ball-winning for us, he needs to be playmaker but he can't do that without the ball.

 

[JNB90]

Austin Macphee will be earning his money with our delivery.

You don’t stay in a league due to one player. He was the cutting edge, no doubt. And I doubt we’d be where we are without him, but DS has still made some excellent signings and created the platform for SJG to perform.

 

[Bikini Inspector]

Smith falling back on the Ramsey sub. He has never moved the needle as a substitute.

 

[Dumble]

I disagree. He’s made a difference a few times for me. Wolves game I think it was last season (if my memory is right been wrong before) he made a diff

 

[Pangloss]

I don't really get Ramsay to be honest and I do not know why he has been tasked with turning this around for us.

 

[Bikini Inspector]

Deliberate pointless booking from Mings. He doesn't want to be out there today.

 

[Fulford]

We lost virtually every game when he was out. We went from top 4 to clinging on to 11th place. The bloke gives me no confidence at all. If the owners want to make the CL they need to recruit a much better manager and one who can attract CL standard players.

 

[Fulford]

I don't really get Ramsay to be honest and I do not know why he has been tasked with turning this around for us.

If he's PL standard then so am I.

 

[Pangloss]

I didn't expect us to do well in this one and my pre game comments show that, but I cannot accept us looking so unfit, Watford, newly promoted look fitter, faster and stronger than us all over the pitch. Unacceptable.

You called him a clueless manager, I provided evidence he’s not.

I stand by my behave

 

[Lord Ron Saunders]

we haven't got a clue, no plan, we are terrible
