Watford Fc 1-0 Nottingham Forest - 06/03/2021

Sema did well at CM at the start of the season and also for Udinese last year.

Gray also reasonably deserves a chance to see if he can keep his form going.

Fine with that line-up.

 

I reckon this forum is where he picks his team from, and I'm not joking!

 

Good to see Xisco going for it, why not at home to a poor Forest team? I think the midfield could be all over the place but going forward I think we're going to cause a lot of problems for them.

 

I would guess Hughes will sit and it'll play like a 4-1-2-3. So long balls not necessary really.

 

Interesting formation 4-1-5.

 

Yeah, we just need Hughes to have enough time on the ball to control things

 

Yikes!

 

Will need Zinc to win a fair few midfield tussles in there today with Cleverley missing. He can't afford to be lightweight in this one.

 

Don't mind that lineup tbf. What's the subs bench looking like?

Reckon first goal will be huge today. Shame Britos can't come back to **** Knockaert up.

 

Sema into midfield and still 433 is my bet, he did play there for Udinese at times. Good job he’s so versatile.

 

Hopefully. Zinc and Ken to go box to box. Big ask for Ken to play that role when he's looking so fatigued.

 

See post #139

 

Normally I would be interested to see Sema in CM (that is, assuming he's not on the left), I think he could be a useful option there, a Doucoure type box to box midfielder, but I'd rather he had a break today given how he's played of late. Oh well, we get a week break after this

 

Zinck as a #10 could be useful in unlocking doors, more so than Cleverley, but he doesn't have the steel that Clev does so it'll be interesting to see how it all pans out

 

Hopefully we score first. Sanchez can replace Ken at some point

 

Need to show our metal

 

I love the line up! Xisco couldn't have done better with what's available. We need to go hung ho and really throw the kitchen sink at them. Forest will have no choice but to play on the back foot and I don't think they're good enough to soak it up and suckerpunch us.

This could be a lot of fun!

 

A preview of the game I read said Sanchez wasn't available. They got that one wrong.

 

Bench looks pathetic in terms of attacking options

 

Don't write Success off just yet!

 

LOL.

I'm expecting the club to say he hasn't trained yet, or something

 

I'll be asleep by then, exhausted after celebrating goal after goal for the Horns for 90+ exhilarating minutes.

 

With no midfield this game could end up being 6-5 either way.

 

Good job he didn't pick me to play!

 

Success and Sanchez only on the bench? What the ***?

 

Sky Sports and FotMob both claiming JP in midfield.

It's going to be fun either way.

 

Have we got anyone who can tackle in this team other than the 2 CBs ? Think we will definitely concede. Hopefully we will score plenty, but think this will end 0-2.

 

If you listen closely you can hear the sharpening of knives for Gino.
To let Quina go on loan was acceptable if adequate cover had been brought in.
To replace him with Dan Duck,who appears to be quackered and a chap who hasn't played for at least a year is downright foolhardy.
It's asking a lot of Sema,Hughes and Zinc and Disco for that matter.
This will be an ugly thread if it goes badly.
Negligent Gino,just negligent.

 

Huge game today, in this respect. Need a positive result and to avoid any injuries in midfield!

 

Nah Moog was outed as being Beppe Sannino years ago wasn't he?

 

Surely Forest's first tactic will be kick Will Hughes about a bit?

 

He’s Back!!
Isaac is our saviour.
85 min winner.
Legend.
