    In his post match interview Bilic summed up many of our problems against Swansea and the long term malaise that smothers the club currently.
    There are lots of injuries and the players don’t seem to be capable of playing with passion.
    At least he is honest.

    That’s all unlikely to change against manager-less Norwich on Tuesday.

    Pukki and the Ginge are their biggest goal threat with 8 or 9 of their 32 goals this campaign. They’ve only kept clean sheets in 23% of their games but to counter that they have an xG at home of 1.88 registering 16 shots on average.

    They like to score either in the first 20 minutes, around half time and around the 70th minute mark.

    Given all that and the knowledge our depleted squad is coasting in the knowledge we will sack the manager soon my prediction is:
    Norwich 3 (Pukki 6, 45) (Sargeant 68) Watford 0

    I’m going to this game as it’s my local one. The Compleat Anglers a good pub opposite the station. And there are many in walking distance to the ground if you needed to either work up the courage to watch this shower capitulate or drown your misery afterwards

    Nick Lowe admits he stole "So It Goes" from RITY.

    So It Goes was the first release on Stiff Records. Stiff's slogan was "If it ain't a Stiff, it ain't work a f***." Which is approximately the amount the players couldn't give, so why should we?

    Disliked for the word ‘presser’.

    An otherwise good review.

    There is always a positive. Watford are so sh1te right now that every game is a certain defeat. Always back the opposition to win and it’s like printing money.

    it is literally the only positive but it works.
    opposition -2 for the win before the game starts is a good shout.
    As is backing the opposition in game if we happen to weirdly take an early lead

    Not again.

    I used to say 'we always beat Norwich '.

    Sadly no longer the banker it was.

    Just had a listen , definitely the opening line has got Reeling all over it .
    It also sounds a little like the verse from Boys Back in Town.

    I can only begin to imagine just how bad this scoreline is likely to be.

    We just love playing teams back into form. We are the most efficient football fluffers on the planet.

    Under no circumstances should we ever ever ever play a back three again.

    The only remote chance we have of getting anything from this game is to go

    Bachmann
    Ngakia Cathcart Sierralta Sema/Morris
    Bacuna Kone
    Sarr Asprilla Martins
    Davis

    If that’s not the team, then there’s no point in playing the game at all. Might as well forfeit and take the 3-0 loss.

    As I’m going to this, I hope we get hammered. Just to see who’s left clapping them off.

    If Norwich don't win this I will be amazed. Just hope Kone and Martins don't get dispirited and ruin themselves.

    Would be nice to see Blake instead of Hunglo. Might as well give a spot to someone who may give a flying fark.

    We've won here on our previous two visits, and beat them in the reverse fixture. But, we sort of still half cared at that point. All that care has gone from the side faster than Deeney running past a salad bar. Norwich are still one of the better sides in this division despite their recent form, and we cannot lay a glove on a side who had not won it 8 games, and suffered our heaviest defeat of the season. Despite what some of their fans' still beleive, we are not rivals, even in fandom circles, that honor goes to the muffins on the South Coast.

    I can see Pukka Pies scoring a brace, Sargent bagging one (he always scores against us), and some tinpot subsitute getting a fourth in injury time. Locals will be trying to give it large all game, as our shower demonstrate that we can still lose three on the bounce and never look like scoring a goal. Kone' and Martins may or may not start, but it seems nailed on they do. An improvement in attitude from last night would be a welcome change. We have the FA Cup after this, so we can go and win that game at a canter. I fully expect Norwich to breeze past us with little to no challenge.

    Norwich 4 Watford 0

    How many times under different managers have we seen WTE make a major error? Up until he gifted Swansea a goal it was a reasonable away performance.

    Let's get Sierralta in on Monday in CB partnership with Kabasele, with Ngakia and Cathcart as full backs.

    I've never understood why football vidiprinters did that. It like they think people cannot distinguish what a number 7 looks like.

    1-0 2-0 3-0 4-0 5-0 6-0 7 (SEVEN)-0, 8-0 etc.

    Based on current injuries and the last 2 performances, I have no idea what the starting lineup will look like. I’m already anticipating a heavy defeat to a Norwich team who really need the win. No matter who starts the match, I want to see a performance worth watching. I want the players to be hungry for the win, putting pressure on the opposition, looking like they actually give a **** and be proud to wear the Watford badge on their chest.
    I’d go as far as saying this is the most hated squad in Watford history. We have had squads far less talented but with more passion and drive, sprinkled with the raw academy prospects it was underdogs fighting for every scrap. That was the Watford way, that’s the Watford I know and I will be happy if I get to see that fight from this squad

    Brother in-law to be is a Naarch fan so usually go to this fixture.
    Thankfully a leg op means I can't go.

    Grateful for the small mercies.
