We gave to get into these fuckers from the start. They will be motivated and supremely confident with threats all over the picth. We cannot let them bully us or dictate the tempo. Fucking c'mon Villa. Win tonight.

Beat me to it Shinner
-
Same old same old, shame Vassilev not starting, May have dragged a couple of defenders wide for jack to use the space
-
Drinkwater, yikes.
Find a way to win Villa.
-
Just win. Please.
-
There middle 3 are big fuckers, Drinkwater and Nakamba got there work cut out there
-
COME ON YOU VILLA BOYS.
-
We looked better with Vasilev causing problems up front on Saturday so why not start him and grab the initiative rather than having to wrestle it back again?
-
That's not a bad looking Watford line up to be fair, still fancy a 2-1 Villa win though. UTV.
-
Urgh, won’t be sad not to see that side picked ever again.
-
Nakamba needs to turn up he’s been very poor lately.
-
God speed.
-
No Vassilev or Luiz is a very negative selection. Midfield of Nakamba and Drinkwater scares me.
-
Vassilev is nowhere near ready. He’s hardly touched the ball when he’s come on.
-
Disappointed Vassilev isn't starting, desperate for a win.
-
Vassilev is nowhere near ready. He’s hardly touched the ball when he’s come on.
Maybe that's because of how we are set up.
-
Urgh, won’t be sad not to see that side picked ever again.
Any chance of you giving this a rest for a bit ?
-
Vassilev is nowhere near ready. He’s hardly touched the ball when he’s come on.
Still can't get my head round the fact Archer has not been given a chance to come on from the bench yet given the circumstances especially when he was rated so highly after his performance in the Crewe game.
-
Drinkypoos to score tonight.
-
Nakamba needs to get stuck in. He seems reluctant to make challenges and it's supposed to be his strength to shit up the opposition a bit and cause a nuisance. We've got to be up for a scrap today. Hopefully Drinkwater improves too. AEG and Trez need to improve too. They can make things happen, so I don't want us to be living in hope for some Grealish magic and not much else.
-
Get your scorchios ready, PWS.
-
would have prefered Luis to start but maybe its because the watford midfielders are big buggers
gonna be a hard one but lets hope its one of those nights
-
Fingers crossed for a Deeney red card as opposed to a match-winning performance. Can't stand the thug.
-
I'm beginning to think Drinkwater is Dean Smith's`drinking partner ;) or Smith is seeing something in training that we have yet to witness. Tough game tonight ......these are the type of fixtures where we are crying out for a physical presence in the middle of the park ...Nzonzi (sp?) For example
-
Evening all. Nervy 2-1 win for us. Jack and AEG for us, some scrote for them. Lots of yellows.
-
I’m not keen on having 3 central defenders but if your going to play it at least we have Guilbert and Target who do get forward rather than Taylor and Elmo which just gives you a back defensive 5
Drinkwater and Marvo in the middle and Grealish playing up top is not filling me with confidence either so swings and roundabouts for me
-
Worried about our 2 in the middle being over run and Jack not seeing much of the ball. I hope Drinkwaters powers of recovery are good enough.
-
Drinkwater? Un fucking believable
-
Lower lower Watford
Higher higher Villa
-
Why not throw the new guy in ?
[I know I know]
-
Urgh, won’t be sad not to see that side picked ever again.

Having an opinion?
-
Drinkypoos to score tonight.
Sounds like you have been on the cooking sherry a bit early there PWS.........you gonna have a punt on him scoring?
-
Drinkwater? Un fucking believable
There is no way he is going to sign him on loan and then not play him. The only way he will improve and get match fit is by playing him
-
I'm fucking fuming at this. After 2 disastrous performances, this unfit, dismal excuse for a footballer, waltzes into the side again.
The mind fucking boggles.
-
Vassilev is nowhere near ready. He’s hardly touched the ball when he’s come on.
I'd rather him than both our wingers playing
-

Nailed on to score, stuck everything I own on it, £8.37 baby.
-
Jesus H Wept
Smith never learns
-
Drinkwater? Un fucking believable
There is no way he is going to sign him on loan and then not play him. The only way he will improve and get match fit is by playing him
Well, he might get fitter, but there's no automatic improvement guaranteed just from playing games. It doesn't seem to have helped Trezeguet very much, put it that way.
-
Drinkwater? Un fucking believable
Agree, Douglas must be pissed off. Drinkwater is way short of match fitness. Pathetic that we're at the 21st January and no striker eligible.
-
Urgh, won’t be sad not to see that side picked ever again.

Having an opinion?
Having a constantly negative unconstructive opinion . At least wait till half time .
-
The midfield is going to get bullied unless we can play high temp possession football.
-

Having a constantly negative unconstructive opinion . At least wait till half time .
edit: don't argue with idiots, they bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.
-
When Dean Smith sees Drinkwater sloping round Bodymoor Heath, does he not think "fucking hell, no wonder Sean Dyche preferred Ashley Westwood"
Good and indeed, fucking grief.
-
Good job you edited that.

Pre the edit

Aimed at Risso, who i'm sure won't be making another post like that again.
-
Back to shitting ourselves, please.
-
It is said that the definition of madness is doing the same thing repeatedly and expecting to get a different result.
We shall see.
-
I certainly am!
-

I don’t have a problem with the original reply !
-
As Disney says "if you can't say nothing nice, don't day nothing at all."
-
To put a positive spin on this because it looks like no-one else will, starting with the same 11 and then switching with 20 mins to go might be the master plan?!?

Chester predicts a repeat of the Forest home game

-
Goodness wouldn't it be nice if there was a way of watching this game... for those of us trapped in the welsh hills...
-
Fortunately i have been delivered such a way...
-
Nakamba needs to turn up he’s been very poor lately.
Ditto Targett, El Ghazi, Trez, Drinkwater.. we need the whole team to turn up tonight. Just hope we're up for a fight. COYVB
-
Who had 1 min for the first foul on Jack?
-
Jack looks nice and realxed. Gerrrrrintoem!
-
Revenge will be sweet
-
Our Father, who art in heaven ....
-
Goodness wouldn't it be nice if there was a way of watching this game... for those of us trapped in the welsh hills...
A trickle all the way over to London would be appreciated...
-
DD loses first touch as expected
-
Commentator has pronounced Hause three different ways so far, his latest attempt being Horse.
-
Great ball from Targett, El Ghazi hanging on to it far too long.
-
That was our throw, surely.
-
That was our throw, surely.
It definitely was.
-
AVTV audio commentary dropping out as usual!!! Is it on anywhere else?
-
The Drinkmeister hasn't been too bad so far.
-
Maybe pun intended in calling him Horse
-
This isn't much fun.
Far too tense for my liking.
-
We love giving the ball away. I bet we top that table for unforced errors.
-
We punt the ball up to our striker...
-
Better. At least we’re getting stuck in. Very open, they’re getting in behind us every time they go forward.
-
That doesn’t sound better!
-
Haha fair. First half vs Brighton is my benchmark so it’s impossible not to be better.
-
Diddled out of a corner there.
-
Why are Premier League referees so fucking hopeless
-
Guilbert got a knock on the jaw earlier, which must have really hurt after his problems with an abscess earlier this week.
-
Guilbert got a knock on the jaw earlier, which must have really hurt after his problems with an abscess earlier this week.
Yeah, ouch!
-
Drinkwater with the world's largest turning circle.
-
Just put it in the fucking box
-
Drinkwater is doing marginally better.
We look really nervous.
-
Konsa has a miserable first touch...
-
Well done Reina coming way out as they try to catch us out with a quick free*
-
Doing ok so far but need someone to show some real quality
-
Have to take advantage of this first-half display. We never play a complete game.
-
Our link up play to their box is very good but last ball and touch non existent
-
Drinkwater is pour. That is all.
-
Reina showing his experience there
-
We’re playing well going forward imho.
-
This is a much better spell for us, we need to capitalise on it or regret it when Watford will almost certainly do the same.
-
Drinkwater is pour. That is all.
He's looking like Maradona compared to his performance at the weekend.
-
Mings takes a big point blank ball to the head, goes down and bounces straight back up again.
-
Tyrone. Ouch.
-
Mings takes a massive point blank ball to the head, goes down and bounces straight back up again.
I bet the pitch has a Mings shaped dent in it.
Like one of those memory foam mattresses.
-
Drinkwater is pour. That is all.
He's looking like Maradona compared to his performance at the weekend.
In his final, coked-up years!
-
Drinkwater still shite then.
-
Shocking by el ghazi. We have no ome on the bix when we go forward. Its like bruce alm ove again
Drinkwater is like a snail on the ball ffs
-
Was that nakamba getting stuck in there? We’re getting at them, bit of spirit at least.
-
Final ball is all that's missing, here. Come on Villa!!
-
Targett being Targett
-
Targett with a chance nowhere enar on targett.
-
Shocking by el ghazi. We have no ome on the bix when we go forward. Its like bruce alm ove again
Drinkwater is like a snail on the ball ffs
Exactly what I was thinking.
-
Targett is fucking useless
-
Jesus our wingbacks are utter garbage.
-
Well I’m sticking my head above the parapet and say that I think Drinkwater is doing ok at the moment
-
Nakamba looking much improved.....
-
Drinkwater is woeful
-
Trezeguet and marvelous both seem to be having good games. And Drinkwater does look a lot better
-
I like Trezeguet, he always puts in a shift and I like that scurrying running style of his.
He's not very good, though, is he?
-
Well I’m sticking my head above the parapet and say that I think Drinkwater is doing ok at the moment
He's given the ball away multiple times!
-
Trezeguet and marvelous both seem to be having good games. And Drinkwater does look a lot better
Nakamba is certainly having a good game.
-

Headless chicken. Really think he is shit
-
Well I’m sticking my head above the parapet and say that I think Drinkwater is doing ok at the moment

I don't think he's been the worst
-
fuck off
-
Well I’m sticking my head above the parapet and say that I think Drinkwater is doing ok at the moment
He's given the ball away multiple times!
Pass completion rate 87% currently, only Mings and Grealish better.
He's having a much better game thus far.
-
We really don't look like scoring. But neither do they.
-
Fucking Deeney yet again
-
Thanks chaps.
Get Jack in the middle.
-
Game over then.
-
Fuck shit ****** bolx.
-
I fucking hate Troy deeeeeeny
-
FUCKING HELL.
Too fucking easy.
-
Bollocks
-
Jesus that is shite from both Konsa and Guilbert.
-
We really don't look like scoring. But neither do they.
Well I put the mockers on that. Arseholes.
-
Fucking deeeny shit villa
-
Targett a spectator
-
We concede easy goals and we don’t score enough. We’re fucked.
-
shocking defending that
-
Fucking useless.
-
And now we are down! Ffs
-
One decent chance, from one decent cross. See how easy it is?
-
My God that was so easy
-
We’ve looked dodgy at the back all night. Better going forward but then what’s the point when you haven’t got a striker?
-
From the radio we sound slow, ponderous, not forcing the pace, the crowd quiet and all Watford had to do was wait for a chance. All rather predictable.
-
19th as it stands.
-
Bournemouth winning 2-0
-
That's a great illustration of why we are going down.
Decent play, no presence whatsoever up front, concede meekly, game over.
-
As he just scored a goal or is that very bad constipation, if so can he not **** on the pitch, thank you.
-
Bournemouth winning. We’re down.
-
It's been asked before, but what the fuck do our lot do in training?
Genuinely, what are they coached on? We do literally nothing well - blunt in attack, shockingly inept in defence, and our midfield is hopeless at ball retention.
What do they work on all week?
-
It's an obvious point to make but the lack of a centre forward is absolutely killing us.
-
Smith and his shit tactics.
-
We need to win as we will start that drift into the cut a variety
-
Watford will now outmuscle, outwork and outrun us.
Expect plenty of niggle and winding up.
-
dont look good
I dont think Ronaldo would make much difference in this team , let alone Ali Samgoal
-
How many times have our defence given it away . This defence... shocking
-
We’re just so bang average. Anyone think we’ve got a chance of scoring if it’s not some sort of Jack wonder goal? He can’t do it every week. We need some other fucking players to step up and fast.
-
Watford into the side netting
-
The striker situation is unforgiveable.
Those three options were never going to be enough going into the season.
I don't give a fuck if he tried to sign Maupay or not, the problem is we were not prepared and right now it is killing us.
-
We’re fucking toast.
-
Did not want to concede first. We need a minor miracle now.
-
Southampton beating Palace now also.
A miracle won't keep us up at this rate.
-
We have given up now.
-
Let’s face it: that gigantic BELL was always gonna score tonight. Let’s just pray it’s the last feckin’ time... 🖕
-
We're going down because none of our team with the exception of Grealish are good enough.
-
The striker situation is unforgiveable.

I don't give a fuck if he tried to sign Maupay or not, the problem is we were not prepared and right now it is killing us.
This. We are so tepid tonight and smell of relegation and the teams in the mix are winning. Time to make that change
-
That's a great illustration of why we are going down.
Decent play, no presence whatsoever up front, concede meekly, game over.
Sadly I agree, playing at home against a side near the bottom with no striker. We are toothless up front and cack at the back.
-
Mings booked
-
We have given up now.
Yep. Nakamba oddly the only one looking interested now.
-

Looks that way, strange that we are now paying for bad decisions even before the season started, you could point that same finger at this transfer window, lack of action.
-

To start the season like that it bad enough but it o then fuck around for most of January with fixtures against revelation rivals is bordering on the criminally negligent.
-

Absolutely spot on. The entire supporter base can see this in July/August yet somehow our manager and personnel man cannot?!? Beggars the imagination...
-
Passing from Hause is woeful.
-
Oh, well. I suppose it was nice being back in the Premier League for a short while at least.
-
We are so depressingly shit to watch.
We don't even have a striker on the pitch, can't defend crosses to save our lives, and our midfield still manages to be the worst thing about us.
-
HT
-
We’re just piss poor.
-
We're going down because none of our team with the exception of Grealish are good enough.
Most of our side wouldn't get on the bench in a top half Championship team.
-
Fingers crossed for a Deeney red card as opposed to a match-winning performance. Can't stand the thug.
Wanker.
-
I don’t have many good memories this season. Everton maybe. We haven’t even really had a go.
-
Make the most of seeing Jack in a villa shirt.
-
We are incredibly boring to watch.
-
We were doing ok until the goal but had a complete lack of quality in the final third. After the goal we were shit. Time to earn your money Dean.
-
He’s shit for us but can we not get hogan back. As he is a forward. Also what happens if our new striker inevitably gets injured? What then? We are looking like we did in 2016 and capitulated in jan. It’s painful. And now the teams around us have hit form. We haven’t.
-
Passing from Hause is woeful.
I see he hasn't improved from Saturday
-
The difference between having a forward and not. We controlled the game without ever looking like scoring. They have 1 chance and bury it.
Its all been said before but huge fuck up by the powers that be too leave us in this position.
-
Smith has to go tactical loser. Drinkwater been shit last two games and plays him again. 5 at the back again at home. No chances created either.
Fucking useless
-
Awful. We are going down.
-
Yet another half-time rant by DS, hopefully. When is he ever going to put a team out to actually start a bloody game positively, FFS?! This just can’t carry on ad infinitum. Bag o’ shite. ☹️
-
I don’t have many good memories this season. Everton maybe. We haven’t even really had a go.
Me neither, mate.
It's been a dreadful season. A manager doing nowhere near as well as I expected, and a lot of unlikeable players who look neither good enough nor like they give a shit.
Where is the urgency?
-
Somehow Engels can't get ahead of those. Jfc
-
To be fair I thought we were doing ok albeit strikerless, but that cock up has killed us. Big decisions now Deano
-
No substance and no quality. We’re fucking buried.
-
We were doing ok until the goal but had a complete lack of quality in the final third. After the goal we were shit. Time to earn your money Dean.
What's the money his interpretation of earning his money is going to be to send the side back out with no changes?
-
Thought we were doing quite well up to them scoring, lack of a forward not helping obviously in terms of a cutting edge. Konsa standard ball watching act costing us another goal. Watford have improved a lot since, they barely put two passes together before the goal.
Drinky obviously miles off pace for third game in a row, Luiz for him the obvious change. Trez offering nothing, maybe the kid for him and switch AEG wide. Hourihanes set piece threat could be useful too, ours have been crap so far. Nakamba's best game in ages, most doing ok really.
-
Entirely predictable, and that does not bode well for the rest of the season. We're seeing this too often and a striker won't make enough of a difference. It smells bad now, so much so I'm off to the "worried" thread.
-
Anyone think there will be any changes at half time ?
-
Grealish trying to beat men on the wing only to be further down the wing. Whereas if he beats a man in the middle he could be through on goal. Dean is indeed a shite manager.
-
Deano same sort of manager as Tony Mowbray. All pretty stuff but team is utterly lightweight. No fight in this lot at all though, I don't understand it.
-
Absolutely bereft of any confidence whatsoever which is killing us.
Hause is a complete liability. He’s constantly behind the other two and then is useless on the ball.
-
Smith has to go tactical loser. Drinkwater been shit last two games and plays him again. 5 at the back again at home. No chances created either.
Fucking useless so what team would you have put out tonight ? FFS
-
Small Heaths player of the season award will definitely be going to Troy Fucking Deeney. We are screwed aren't we? Le Tissier said our play in final third is woeful. This wasnt supposed to be like this, not this team, not this manager. I can't believe how bad it's been.
-
Passing from Hause is woeful.
has been terrible since the semi final
-
It's always going to be hard to get a result when Hause, Targett, Drinkwater, and El Ghazi are in your starting lineup. They just aren't good enough. Neither is Nakamba really, but he seems to be doing ok tonight.
-
Thought we looked quite comfortable on the ball most of the half, without creating anything. Not much between us, but what a difference a striker makes. Need more bodies hitting the box second half, we've got in some decent areas for crossing, with no options. Pff, come on Villa, big second half needed.
-
To be fair I thought we were doing ok albeit strikerless, but that cock up has killed us. Big decisions now Deano
I can think of one good decision.
-
Hause has been piss poor
-
No physicality in midfield to protect the back three, a lack of presence up front. Only Mings and Grealish any good. The recruitment has been woeful and the owners need to reflect on that, because it's going to cost them big time. Arguably the biggest second half of football coming up in our recent history. Boy, we need a turnaround.
-
Our lack of quality in the final third is shocking, and defending for the goal was non-existent (a free header inside the six-yard box?? Jesus), but on the bright side, we've moved the ball around better than last time out. Nakamba's looked better, as has Drinkwater (a couple of minor aberrations apart).
I worry how we're going to break them down, as it seems the only way that front three will score is if we're running at them - but if they sit and defend I don't see how we'll do it short of a worldy from outside the box. Maybe a set piece?
-
I'm not sure what Smith can do. There's no striker to bring on. Who's responsible for the fact that we have no strikers is anyone's guess but we've needed one for months. It's scarcely believable that a club of our stature is in this position.
-
Do we ever come back to win games? Nope. We just lack the substance to do anything.
-
Trez looks as shit as he did at the Africcan Nations Cup , I just dont get it
-
Get Luiz on, play him further up the pitch, bring Vassilev on, at least have someone with a bit of movement about them playing where you'd expect a striker to be playing.
I am so sick of this shit, week after week it's the fucking same.
We never look like winning. Does anyone really think we're getting anything out of this?
It'll be the same XI who come out after the break and we'll waste another 20 minutes doing the same fruitless, doesn't-fucking-work thing.
-
It's always going to be hard to get a result when Hause, Targett, Drinkwater, and El Ghazi are in your starting lineup. They just aren't good enough. Neither is Nakamba really, but he seems to be doing ok tonight.
AEG is doing ok too. Not his fault the club don't have a senior striker in the squad. The Drinkwater signing, as persistently called out by the majority here, was utter madness and we are paying for it dearly.
-
Smith playing el ghazi up front again a utter failure the last few tiems but hey ilm do it agajn amd hope it works. Ill play grealish on the left again even though he is better in a no 10 role.
Oh and ill play a completely unfit cm in drinkwater who keeps losing the ball hoping he gets better.
Luiz is perfect for this game but instead he leaves him on bench. Like I say out of his depth at this level
-
How is it that Engels and Chester can’t get a game but Konsa and Hause can??
-
Need to at least draw this game - big half coming up..
-
Entirely predictable, and that does not bode well for the rest of the season. We're seeing this too often and a striker won't make enough of a difference. It smells bad now, so much so I'm off to the "worried" thread.
Yes we're pinning all hope on 1 signing. There's more wrong than that.
-

Yup it’s fucking trash.
-
Reina and Mings are all we have at the back. Ironically I think "Drinky" is doing ok, as is Nakamba. Jack is different class.
Watford were there for the taking, but of course we screw it up.
There is also an FA rule that says Dean can't sub until after 70 mins. So we have that to look forward to.
-
Anyone think there will be any changes at half time ?
Maybe Smith will try something completely left-field & stick on the young American to play up front? Second thoughts, that’d never work in a million years... 🙄
-
I really don’t know why I follow the match thread it’s so fucking depressing. If you lot were at the game would you be so critical and negative? Sure we are up against it but I thought our job was to ‘support’ isn’t it? I may be a dreamer and a misguided optimist, but for God’s sake get behind the club. Come on Villa you can do this!
-
Our players just don't seem to understand the Premier League. Watford are fighting,niggling, cheating, and scrapping their way to victory. Every single decision by the ref is is being challenged. Deeney would of ran through a brick wall to get on the end of that cross. El- ghazi and Trez are both doing that schoolboy thing of running in behind hoping their player misses the ball which they inevitably don't. Not good enough from the players and obviously lacking in a proper game plan. Not good enough from Dean & co. Massive improvement required but i have no faith in that happening.
-

You're absolutely right.
You are a dreamer and a misguided optimist.
-
One shot on target at home ffs

I really don’t know why I follow the match thread it’s so fucking depressing. If you lot were at the game would you be so critical and negative? Sure we are up against it but I thought our job was to ‘support’ isn’t it? I may be a dreamer and a misguided optimist, but for God’s sake get behind the club. Come on Villa you can do this!
Yep I would support but not blindly. Getting behind the club isn’t going to turn the sows ear into a silk purse.

So here comes the reaction then

well said that man. Come on villa.

Ah, the old no-changes routine.

If we were at the game supporting them may make a difference, how the smeg does it make any difference what we say on a forum?
-
El- ghazi and Trez are both doing that schoolboy thing of running in behind hoping their player misses the ball which they inevitably don't.
Presumably training with our defenders has taught them this is a decent tactic.

It’s because we’re all sick-to-death of watching our team performing like Blues. It’s about time we had something better. End of.
-
Massive 2nd half. But this is what happens when you’ve no natural strikers on the field, attacks breakdown.
What exactly does Trezeguet do again?

I admire your optimism but this is the place where we come to vent our spleen. It's how it works. Fucking come on Villa.

Getting behind the team online is pretty nonsensical. Like getting behind Brexit.
At the game, very different.
-
If we don't turn this round then DS making no changes will reflect very badly on him imo.

I love this blind optimism stuff. All I need now is for some twat Teacher to come on here and tell me that I have mis-read someones post. Match thread is depressing because we are so very poor. Hope for the best, plan for the worst.
-
Oh the humanity. AEG boots it out for a goal kick.
-

I don't think anything appears to reflect badly on him. He's somehow bulletproof
-
No wonder we play shit so often if the players are following the match thread on the pitch.
-

Yep rinse and repeat. One new striker isn’t turning this level of malaise round.

Play with some fucking spirit and quality Villa, and Dean fucking do something.

You fecker!! Ha ha. Love you Wince!!
-
Two headers in the opposition box for Hause in this game - the first one utter shite, the second one somehow worse. We literally have no aerial threat in this side.
-
It just doesn’t improve at all. Every single game we look a little more inept than the version of inept we performed to the week before.
-

Lot in this, we are the only team in the Premiership that bucks the trend, you don't let the rot set in and when it does you do something, for most managers it 5/6 games and your out, for Deano i'm sure he could survive a whole season like this.
-
Reina saves us
-
Dog shit,

One of us! One of us! (Shit but) one of us!
-
At least we're on the front foot and look a bit more up for it but, Jack and Tyrone aside, there's just no quality in this team. The rest are so mediocre it's shocking.
-
It just doesn’t improve at all. Every single game we look a little more inept than the version of inept we performed to the week before.
And yet, people are still backing Smith, despite the same shit every week. Both Smith and Pitarch should have been potted some time ago. Sleep walking to relegation.
-

That's the thing for me, as the season has progressed we've regregressed.

Smith just waiting for them to score again before he makes any changes

I like the cut of your jib!

Luiz on for Drinkwater. Fuck, now i'm broke.
-
Bloody hell
-
We so need a manager that can motivate and does tactics.

Drinkwater off, wince drinks beer.

Just like on Football Manager
-
Yep we are getting worse all of the time.
-
What a save.
-
Jesus Christ, nearly 2-0
-
Let's start with a handicap just to prove a point and after going down try something
-
Drinkwater shakes his head as he's subbed off. You fucking serious pal?
-
Good to see we’ve come flying out the traps in the second half.
-
Let's start with a handicap
We do, we start with Drinkwater.
/baddumtish
-
Smith is more than slightly rubbish when it comes to tactics.
-
The players looked disinterested.
-
This Samatta bloke is going to have to be fucking amazing if his signing is going to turn this shit show around.
-

First half more like pube trapped in flys. Painful and embarrassing
-

Its laughable really.

That was what I meant

Shot on goal
-

Yes and based on our track record with signings it’s not looking good.
-
Watford not having to do a lot to see this out. They just carry on doing the same.
-
I’m sorry man. My blood is fucking boiling. This guy just doesn’t have it at this level. The players aren’t the best but they are not improving because the coaching is shit. Tactically he is useless. And if we pull something out of the hat it won’t be because of some coaching/managerial wizardry. It will be a piece of luck or a piece of luck. I’m genuinely exhausted by it all.
-
The players looked disinterested.
Honestly starting to remind me more and more of the side with Richards, Lescott, Sanchez, Ayew et al.

I'm not sure where everyone thought we would be in this league, but this is what I thought it would be like. The one exception was that I didn't think we would lose 3 key players.
Watford were not in the game until they scored and I thought we did okay without having a threat due to no striker.
-
Our crossing is a disgrace.
-
We could play all night here and not look like scoring.
-
Our crossing is a disgrace.
Passing, shooting...
-
Watford doing everything snidey that teams in their situation should be doing, and we have no fucking idea how to do anything.
-
We don’t appear to have a clue to do anything.
-

If he has any cop on at all he'll have insisted on a cooling off period. Getting his legal eagles on the case before the end of this game.
-
That shot of DS said it all "no clue what to do"
-

I'm with you TV. Sadly, the people in charge aren't. We are in a coma. Got promoted ahead of schedule so will stick with Smith because he has the excuse of not being really ready for the Premier Division.
-

Yep! its called surviving in the Premiership when you have a pretty low standard of team, you kick your way to another season.
-
Watford doing everything snidey that teams in their situation should be doing, and we have no fucking idea how to do anything.
It’s the Nigel Pearson way. It’s perfect for where Watford are. It’s just intelligent at this level. That’s why as much as I might puke suggesting it someone like Big Sam would get us to do enough to stay up.
-
This is total garbage.
-
We don’t need snotford wasting time....book the bastards
-
If Big Sam is what it takes....
-
Ducking hell Sam ateallthepies. How we have fallen....
-
Ducking hell Sam ateallthepies. How we have fallen....
Hell I’d take Yosemite Sam at the moment!
-
A flukey goal is our best hope.
-
65 mins into a vital relegation game, losing 1-0, and still no fucking striker on the pitch.
-
I can't even tell what on earth we are trying to do here.
It is just aimless hit and hope that something happens.
-
We are ducking dreadful. How can the owners be hapoy with this shit
-
At least he might tighten up the defence - Mr Terry hasn't helped much :(
-
Pearson and Allardyce don't play the same way really, and neither are totally suited to our situation necessarily.
-
Indy finally warming up

As much as I would dislike Big Sam being here for the long term, your bang on right, pay him a few million to keep us up and move on, he would take it.
-
Oh for the old days when we used to smash Sir GT’s Watford every season. What a shit show we have become over the years.
-
SCORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRCHIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Fuck off you frog eyed prick deeney!!!
Hahahah get in !!!

See your earlier posts and hang your heads in shame people
Why? We were losing a game we desperately needed to win and some of our players were stinking the place out. People come on here to vent their frustrations. Every single poster wanted us to turn it round and win. We did so lets rejoice and not resort to "i'm a better fan than you because blah blah blah" GET IN ME BABBIES!
