[Albion] Watford (H)

- Start date
Maupay and Connolly would have had the best part of 3 weeks off.
So they'll need a game or two to get back to match fitness?

It will be hard. The way to beat Brighton is to work very hard. West ham did for 70 minutes but then lost their way. Other teams fighting down the bottom always work hard because they're fighting for their lives. This will be a toughie

a point won't be a disaster
what with West Ham playing at Man City
all 3 would certainly be a bonus

We have just played the three teams below us and not won. Watford will be the fourth....it’s going to happen. Believe. 2-0 to The Albion.

If we lose it will no doubt be totally toxic given 2.5 hours more drinking time pre KO

0-0 or 1-1 would be my score prediction.

I will be very unhappy if GP drops Muzza after his performance yesterday - he needs to start Muzza and Maupay together for the Watford game.
They're going to feel very bruised, having been in front both at Villa and at home to Everton and losing them both. They could have been entering the game from a very position of relative safety, given how their season has gone.
HUGE game.

One thing yesterday which was a warning shot for Watford was how much Antonio bullied our centre halves if we don’t get to grips with Deeney will have real problems.
Really important our centre halves are at it next weekend as that will be a key battle

Now that we have found ourselves battling in a relegation scrap, it isn't only our own results that matter, it also depends on other teams helping us as well. The top 6 barring Liverpool have not performed well this season and they could all slip up to those that are up for the fight.
The title is as good as over and the top 4 almost decided as well. I fear some of the top sides will be 'on the beach' much earlier than usual. We simply HAVE to win our so called winnable games. Draws against those around us might not be enough.
I pray our confidence took a boost after yesterdays come back. Or, are we West Ham's bogey side and nothing has changed?

The Albion and Watford - two polar opposites yesterday. Watford 2-0 up completely in charge give two goals away in first half stoppage time and then a third in the 90th minute. The Albion all at sea, 2-0 then 3-1 down, fight back to 3-3.
What those performances must have down to both teams’ confidence will have a big bearing on next Saturday’s game. After the Bournemouth game I honestly thought our morale was rock bottom and that we needed something positive from the West Ham game - by halftime I thought the worst, we would never turn it around. We did, wonderfully. I just hope my new found optimism isn’t misplaced.

West Ham enter a very difficult run of games. They play the top 6 in their next 7 and the team outside that group is Southampton who are no mugs now. If I were a West Ham fan I be worrying where the next point comes before the middle of April.
Oh good, that ticks another box,
1) It's a big game, six pointer
2) They're on a bad run
Just out of interest, how are they for injuries and suspensions - will they be missing several key players? Are any of their players in the middle of a barren run in front of goal? When was the last time they kept a clean sheet?
