    Are the gold ones Wolves?

    Just won a Northern Ireland shirt signed by Craig Cathcart. Surely a sign!

    I wonder what odds I can get on Cathcart first goal scorer and City to win 5-1

    It's easy to be negative and dismissive and I knew a few would be obvious are sarcastic about Wigan, Portsmouth etc, but it's a platform to go to greater heights. It's up to the club to take advantage of it.

    I am concerned though that we will be outnumbered in midfield by Citeh’s formation and be too weak in defence. I would like to see three at the back, but it’s unlikely.

    Gracia has already shown he is pretty crafty and well-versed with tactics and Watford will have a set of well organised game-plans; but tactics win or lose through the capability of each player against his counterpart. Reference Bob Paisley, one of the select group of managers qualified to sit at the same table as Graham Taylor, who said ' Sometimes each player has to concentrate on winning his personal battle against the man he is taking on' (not a direct quote.)
    That's what worries me.
    Each player will have to be right at the top of his game and keep that up for however long the match goes on.

    Don't be surprised if we play an additional midfielder - a DM maybe on point in front of defence, or CM on point ahead of the normal 2 DM's (we used that in the sf)

    Perfect!

    Chef - check.
    Free on Friday night/Sat lunchtime - check.
    Hornet aligned - check. Unless he's eyeing one last move back Oop Narth.

    Unfortunately facts show the opposite is true and that you're talking out of your hoop.

    Every single team that has won the fa or league cup outside of the top six in the last 20 years is now in the lower leagues. Portsmouth, Wigan, Birmingham, Swansea, Middlesbrough, Blackburn. All recent cup winning sides, all now utter shyte.

    But apart from that, good point.

    City seem a bit overly confident. Parking their bus at Watford junction.

    That's fine. Sarcasm is your oxygen. Take that away from you and you cannot live. I get that.

    Win and it's platform for the club to go to the next level. What the club does with that opportunity is down to them. You may wish to dwell in your negative stupor, and that's your prerogative.

    I'll be hoping that we seize the day and that good things will come off the back of it.

    Small minded people cannot see beyond what's gone on before. I'm glad the club is run by people with vison, rather than your closed minded approach.

    A city team that didn't actually deserve to be there after the quarter final. Only there due to a technicality not allowing VAR.

    I think the platform we have is our squad depth, scouting network, Gino's skills and the potential of our younger players. It's a great platform. Losing heavily tomorrow wont do much for our 'global brand' but we will still be in an incredibly healthy position for next season, especially with Doucs saying he's happy to stay if no big club stumps up the cash for him and the possibility of signing a quality centre back.

    I'm really pleased that you have moved on from being a real downer on our chances a week ago.

    You said, "The best we can hope for in this match is a respectable defeat," and that winning would be a "fantasy".

    What's brought about this new positivity?

    Good to see Kyle Walker has a keen interest in Roman numerals, he would fit in well with our forum classicists.
