Young has obviously impressed Dean.  Shame no Ollie

[Monty]

No Ollie, no Doug, AEG instead of Traoré, a 36 year old wide left of attack...well, Buendìa and Ings starting is exciting, let's see how it goes!

Going to be a tough test.

[Skerra]

Ollie’s slight knock going to turn into a 6 month lay off!!

[SoccerHQ]

Thank god we signed Ings. Imagine the bubble bursting in this era if we'd had Wesley leading the line today.

Looks like Davis is injured aswell.

Famous last words but the Watford team looks very average, Tom Cleverley as their best midfielder says it all and we can get at that defence if we play with decent tempo and get the ball to Buendia in space.

Fancy a 1-2 win.

The official twitter is poor showing today late with reveal of line ups.

[ozzjim]

Not at all convinced our wide options are anywhere near good enough to challenge where we want to. Hopefully prem experience will see us through to get a result.

[Toronto Villa]

Good luck to the boys and to Tuscans on the match thread. On the golf course so I’m hoping the boys don’t fuck up up round. First game isn’t the full side that will emerge over the next couple of weeks. We can beat this lot.

Amazing Ollie never missed a match last season except for the suspended one and now misses the first game Funny old game

[paul_e]

Our bench looks very dangerous, some real quality to bring on and change the game.

[Demitri_C]

About time we have options from the bench.

Be good to see how young foes at left wing. Sure he is going  to get abuse from them as they bitter about how he left
