    Can someone on here tweet back, “No, what we love to see is some bleedin new players.”

    I’m shocked that no-one from our negative fanbase has yet responded this, especially with this tweet being 20mins old.

    Edit: Our fanbase is becoming as lazy as the club.

    Quite agree.

    Least Doucoure is playing..

    Back to 442 - no pace at all in that team apart from Gray .

    Yep, it's about as slow and boring a side as you could hope to see at Premier League level.

    I don't care about the game itself, it's completely meaningless, but to be putting that side out a week from the season starting is hilarious.

    Looks like we have blown all our money on the new tv screens. Nothing left over for players

    It feels a lot like last pre-season again, when people were touting the likes of Fulham as having comfortably the better squad, and bemoaning the weakness of our team.

    Granted, without Geri and Pereyra, we lack creativity, but we know for all their limitations, Gray and Deeney can get goals. The spine of the team is strong with Capoue and Doucoure at the heart of things.

    We’ll be comfortably safe again. If, as we hope, and as rumors suggest, we’re able to add another winger or two, and perhaps another attacker, we’ll be in really good shape.

    One leads to the other.

    I mean, **** me, the club just had to send a begging letter to season ticket holders to ask them to actually attend. Beyond tinpot.

    The majority of our fans are hobbyists and support other teams. They couldn't care less.

    Have we even kicked off yet?

    Disagree.

    We are an injury away from having the same appalling centre back choices we had last season (that injury of course being to our now new best centre back, who we signed on the back of a poor season in the division below) with Mariappa being another year older and still League One standard.

    We are an injury away from having no one even close to the standard of Deulofeu to fill in and offer what he offers.

    We are starting the game before the season starts, historically the game you play your best XI, with Hughes and Sema on the wings. Lol. One is a decent CM being horribly shoe horned into a wide position, and the other is one of our most laughable ever bargain bin signings.

    The best we can hope for from bench is Cleverley and Success, and we are so A. tight and B. desperate that we've somehow allowed Okaka to step foot back into the club. God help us.

    We have zero depth yet again, and even if we do have another miracle start, we will no doubt absolutely collapse once more, just potentially sooner and more drastically than usual.

    So all in all I'm feeling good about this coming season.

    Yes

    Then this tweet 12mins ago

    What a save from Ben Foster!! Willian Jose bullets a header from point-blank range, how on earth did he save that!

    That’s the last update.

    People go to preseason to see the new players. That's why I'm off to the pub.

    Why are our new players down the pub? The club's approach to fitness is shocking.

    That’s where Sarr has been this whole time. Drowning his sorrows after realizing he joined Watford and not Wolves.

    Only coverage I can find is WO doing live text commentry. No streams viable for the UK.

    Nothing game anyway but christ Sema off to a flyer.

    I literally couldn’t not have less interest in trying to see this on a live stream.

    From what I saw of it, we were ******* terrible. They hit the inside of the post right on half time from a free header from a corner.

    Fans on Twitter don't care about how **** we are, just that Z-Cars still isn't being used.

    Imagine being a fan like that.

    Well to cheer you all up, I've got a 10 game Championship acca on the go and at half time every single game is losing.

    This is an incredible feat on my part.

    You wouldn’t know anything going on if your checking the watford twitter like me. In 45mins they posted 4 tweets about the game.

    Save from Ben foster, pen, pen scored & HT.

    Whoever is in charge of our twitter seriously needs to be sacked. Just a horrible job.

    We will need to get used to it given the refusal of the owners to buy players.

    I've had someone tell me we don't need signings because Sema had a good pre-season, and we're fine at centre back because we have Mariappa.

    Lol. Our fans are the absolute worst for having two inch thick rose tinted glasses for **** players.

    Who needs the official club account when you have gems like this:-

    "To be fair to @RealSociedadEN they are a good technical team with very good passing and movement we won’t meet many teams that play like this in the games to come #watfordfc"

    Absolute ******* dreamworld some of these morons.

    Saving that for when I turn up next weekend and Sema and Hughes are starting again, with Mariappa at the back after Dawson breaks his leg in the warm up.
