**** Watford FC vs Brighton and Hove Albion - Official match thread ****

[portlander]

Paynter sounds very involved, working hard

One thing that annoyed me about your promotion last season is that you went the whole season without getting any serious injuries to your key players.

KLL looked like our best player before he missed most of the season through injury.

 

[Driver8]

it is because they made a couple of changes so the side wasnt full strength eg Loach didnt play.

Neither was our side full strength. We still outplayed them.

Tanno only has to last two thirds of a game and where is your factual evidence that Poyet has fallen out with Dunk?.

Some people like conspiracy theories

We beat Watford in the cup a one off game when we were full of confidence.

We have played well at the start but the truth is our players can't maintain that form in this league against bigger fitter and better organised teams.

We are kidding ourselves if we think we can pass teams in this league off the pitch with the current squad.

Cook being sent out on loan was a mistake and not prioritising defenders in the close season was a mistake. Tanno is not the answer and never has been.

Watford have missed a lot of chances so here's hoping we make them pay.

I'm sure Gus will have us right in January with Tony's backing.

sensible post

I remember Tanno coming out of retirement, having not played for 6 years and then playing 120 minutes for us. The guy has a serious engine.

 

[portlander]

Watford commentators picking up on our poor passing tonight, say we are not playing like a Gus Poyet team

There's more to it than meets the eye,,,,,don't get me wrong I am firmly in Gus's camp. But that does not mean he is above any sort of reproach. It's not only most the player's who have not a lot of experence at this level. Neither has Poyet, but don't anyone dare say it ffs.

 

[brunswick]

watford 14 shots.

Christ almighty, haven't really been on NSC much for a month or so but I can't believe the negativity of some people on here. We are still 10th in the league at the start of this game and whilst we don't sound good tonight, a win will take us up to 7th in the league! I think some people just have ridiculous expectations for this season and actually think we SHOULD be challenging for promotion this season. I think we have some quality players and if we do have a good season we have the potential to finish in the top six but seriously, people seem to think that our current position isn't good enough!

If anyone doesn't think that a mid-table finish would be a great result on what is a work in progress under Gus Poyet, you need your head checking!

another sensible post

 

[jack phillips]

we should all be happy with top 14 finish

 

[Willy Dangle]

2nd half will be better.

 

[JBizzleBeard]

Half time Wasabi peas and another Kronenbourg methinks. What a rubbish first half to listen to that was!

 

[fleet]

Lucky to get away with 0-0 at half time

Certainly my gripe has nothing to do with our current squad, at all. I'm delighted with the players we do have. Just surprised at some of the decisions being made. Poyet is a f***ing inspiration, but he's not perfect. Still, he'll learn.

Thought Tanno had retired - making more comebacks than Frank Sinatra.

half time and time for the cats medication....................and I might have some myself

 

[Art Vs Science]

9 shots for Watford to our 2. Very very poor. I am gonna stick my neck out, we have absolutely no chance of 3 points tonight. Taricco on for Bridcutt, totally bizarre decision

 

[Giraffe]

Gus will sort it out. Still think we are going to win.
