Just arrived in Watford nice and early with my boy. Weather looks fine although there was a bit of flooding on the way here, yesterday must have been torrential.

I was scrolling through that thread earlier and had the same feeling that it could’ve sparked more chat. I usually keep an eye on football live scores for all leagues while reading match threads like this, so even quiet ones still feel useful to me. A bit more fan reaction would’ve been fun, but the clean layout makes it easy enough to skim and move on.

Looking forward to this game. It’s a lovely day here in London, we’ve sold our allocation and then some, and we have the quality to come away with at least a point.

Then again, my blinkers about the squad this season makes Shallow Hal look like a realist.

Is Widell injured?

 

[Treehuggerjack]

Not sure I like the Fulton, stamanic combo as it didn’t work last time.
Maybe better if Fulton plays the 6 at the back and stanamic further forward

 

[Magic_Michu]

No Bobby Wales in the squad either… maybe a loan move lined up

 

[Captain_Sham]

Stamenic AND Fulton? SMH. One or the other. I would also take Fulton over Stamaeic right now. Stamenic is taking too many touches. He needs to do everything quicker.

Interesting, Ward starts, Galbraith on the bench.

 

[Swans Jack]

Shame Widdel has a knock and Galbraith unable to start. Happy with Stamenic starting. Maybe he will be pushed up more as its a Cullen role and does well in that role with his international team. Interesting Matos still doesn't seem to like Key and would rather Ward. Think that's very telling. Who would blame him.

Is Widell injured?

I’ve heard we’ve had a big offer for him
