Are bert and beundia going to be fit?

Knowing our luck.. Dean will be cagey and say "maybe" and then we will not see them or Baily until Christmas

[PaulWinch again]

I think this is potentially tricky. Through no real fault of our own we look a bit undercooked.

[Demitri_C]

I think if we win it would be a great reault as we have a load of missing players.

2-0.

Not sure I buy undercooked. We've had plenty of friendlies, we only missed out on the Forest one.

Some of the football for the Young goal the other day was excellent for example.

Martinez

Targett
Mings
Konsa
Cash

Nkamba
McGinn

Buendia

Watkins
Ings
El Ghazi

That's a good side and one more than capable of bearing Watford.

[LeeB]

I'd start Young wide left instead of El Ghazi. He's looked sharp as fuck.

Also benefits from the "bound to score against former team" rule.

Really hope Buendia plays. Very excited to see the new Messi in action.

According to the Watford forum, Buendia got his only Premier League goal against Watford.

I wonder if Young could play DM? Old and wise, should be able to read the game better than anyone. I'm spitballing. Not sure if he'd have the legs though.

1-2 win.

No idea on the team really, get the feeling it might be one of those WTF selections at 2pm.

Would be o.k with a draw if we win the two home games but 7 points from first 3 got to be the aim even if all the new signings aren't ready to play.

With the backline we have we should be capable of grinding out some clean sheets v two newly promoted teams and Newcastle.

According to the Watford forum, Buendia got his only Premier League goal against Watford.

I remember watching that on Pick. Think Watford won that and went 6 points clear of us with just 4 games left of season so proper great escape that was.

Carlos: Let's make it about football this time.
Miguel: Yeah.
Carlos: Which football team do you support?
Miguel: Eh... Watford.
Carlos: [spits] Watford can't play to save their lives, amigo!
Miguel: I agree.
Carlos: Oh. Oh, well then, I don't agree! I think they can play. They just need a new manager!
Miguel: Yeah.
Carlos: Anyway. You're going to die!
