Well we had a good win on Saturday so in true Watford fashion we'll probably be rubbish on Wednesday and you win easily.

Probably with Hughes playing a key role and Zaha enjoying himself again.

I am going for a 2 nil win in this one. McCarthur and Gallagher back in the middle will make all the difference.

1-0 win for the hosts after a tight game with few chances. Either scoring very early on or, as we have endured so many times this season, in the dying seconds.

I was a critic of Roy, but mainly around the methods he employed as opposed to results.
I have to acknowledge he’s a canny operator though and proved me wrong about Riedewald (who I mistakenly thought should play) and Mitchell (who I thought wasn’t ready).
Having observed over a few seasons how he operates he concentrates on a compact shape in the defensive third with little space or gaps left to exploit.
However, he leaves loads of space in the wide areas presumably reasoning that his defenders can deal with crosses.
This is surely a game for Olise to play wide right and hug the touchline because I think there will be space.
On the other flank Mitchell may be curtailed going forward as he has to contend with Sarr, but it would be good if we could replicate Olise’s threat on the left.
Zaha doesn’t stay wide and in any event tends to cut in.
Schlupp may be the best option but may not be involved.
If we try and go through the middle we’ll play into Roy’s hands.

He certainly doesn't excite this supporter Willo. In fact, if anything, I tend to become nervous these days when he gets the ball. Coming close is not good enough any more.

Dad and I watched games standing on the muddy slope of the Holmesdale Road end. He cheered and I rattled.

One consolation POG, no Deeney or Doucoure to hack Wilf.

This operation, will make the 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' seem like a simple military exercise.
