Wonder who AS will start with up top?

It will 100% be Cullen if we don't sign someone before the weekend. I think Sheehan knows he's not suitable to be our main striker, but he trusts him to do a job. While he clearly doesn't rate Vipotnik and Wales is very raw.

 

[Ringwood]

I think Wales offers more than Cullen in that role raw or not. He has SPL experience and knows how to score and bring others into the game.

I can see where you're coming from and I'd certainly like to see Wales start against Plymouth, but I don't think Sheehan would agree with you. Someone else posted after Saturday that Cullen is the first line of our defence with his work rate and I think that's exactly how Sheehan sees it.

 

[Ringwood]

Can't see Watford coming here to play open expansive play from the back which will require a high press. Cullen was left isolated in the press first half v Blades

another tough game ahead, a physical side who take no prisnors, hope the ref is on top form as our lads will need protecing , with no sign of a new striker as i write it , i think it will be cullen to start as his work rate does help a lot, Wales looked a 100% better than vip when he came on but no disrespect it was Crawly not Watford , i do however think he will be involved and do expect our new mifeilder to be as well

Think Watford will play similar to us.. young pressing energetic side but they do have a number 9 though..

I hear one of their better players is on a suspension. Imran? Which is good news for us.

Didn't think I'd be able to make this, but I can now.
Is the ticket office open before the game tomorrow?
I don't want to run the risk of ordering online for it not to turn up in time this close to the match.
