    Not a hugely inspiring line up unfortunately . No proper striker and lightweight Quina back in the side . I’m not hugely confident . We’re not likely to score more than one.

    Not sure what all the conspiracy theories are all about though . The transfer window has virtually **** and Capoue and Sarr are staying so no reason to leave them out unless they aren’t fit to play ,

    just looking forward to seeing us with bc a strong 11 sone time soon

    It’s not what he explicitly says in press conferences that’s to be listened to - it’s the stuff he doesn’t say that you have to listen to. A pearl of wisdom I was given by a dear friend earlier.

    Who would have guessed that those players who have been injured all September would be still unavailable, Deeney would have been declared unfit because he was fattening himself for a move that didn't happen and that Capoue and Sarr would mysteriously be unavailable as we desperately tried to flog them. Who would have imagined that was even possible.

    That's a slightly disappointing line up!

    Is this meant to be one of the HiveLive free matches as it's on Sky? Mine keeps telling me I need a subscription, and there's not even an option to buy a video and audio pass when I look to purchase a pass. Anyone got the same issue, or am I misunderstanding something?

    A Dart who stepped off the plane 5 minutes ago, with no sleep for a couple of days, would still be a much better option than Hungbo (granted this is based on his performance against Newport but it was abysmal).

    He landed in the UK yesterday, surely he could have made the bench.

    Looks like he didn't travel to Derby in case someone bid enough so we could cash in...

    No, because it's an away game. Hive cant show it to those of us who reserved our seats to support this ******** of a club.

    Quina up front according to Sky. Good move. Excited to see what he can do in attack.

    Lol.

    I decided I’d bother watching us for the first time this season. Then I saw that line up.

    I’ll spend the evening doing absolutely anything else, thank you very much.

    I trust that we looked at the options but that either we couldn't persuade players to come to a championship club or that we had better options already.

    Oh man, it's only midweek away games... So can't I buy any pass to watch it at all? I have to go through Sky? Sorry for being a total idiot here.


    Teaches me for skimming this a few weeks ago...

    Sky showing clips of Sarr despite him not even playing. Absolute box office.

    Some may call it a u turn. But I’ll call it a strategic pivot.

    One ticket for bedwetter central, por favor.

    Reading was on hive? I thought I remembered them saying any TV games would be excluded from hive broadcasts, probably a sweetener to sky for giving the other games to clubs to stream.

    You can get a Now TV pass from Sky for a tenner.

    Perhaps Sarr has been dropped because he’s been **** so far this season?

    And that's all sky channels for a day too, not just the game.

    I've got the £25/month deal on nowtv.

    To all those moaning, we have Murray on the bench, in case we decide to play with a striker at some point. That's depth.

    I don’t want to sound presumptuous but I figured this would happen and put you down as my +1 at the beginning of September.

    Aisle C, Cabin 265. I’m on the top bunk. Captain @wfcmoog will be along later to welcome you. Steer clear of the ‘Captains Lodge’ Bar after 10pm as @NathWFC does a dreadful stand up routine. @GoingDown does cabaret at some point too.

    And jeez, this is the worst line up since the last time Watford announced a line up. Awful.

    Hardly. Our B team could easily get top 6 in the Champo.
