Last time we won at Preston, Dec 1979, and I was there. The one and only time that I've been to Deepdale, so I have a 100% win record up there.
Good point. I'm far from a TD lover but his drop in form came amongst hidden injuries and a massive drop in form from the whole team. Deeney Whilst searching for improvement TD amongst others has been chasing shadows whilst keeping deep enough to add some protection to our defence The current defence is now fine and just needs a proper midfield in front of it. TD in for Pedro in a 433 should be fine against many teams, and if he does still look out of touch then he will gradually fall away from the main 11.?
The censoring ****s deleted my treasured memory of the blackburn girl. What an absolutely abhorrent way to treat a guest.
Quick question... Some say we are on Sky red button tonight but I can't see it. There are two main games, and then Gillette soccer special, which is the live chat following games on monitor. I don't think we're on....??
https://www.skysports.com/football This suggests we are on the red button - see big red button thingy on the panel for our game
It may be true. What % of the Watford fanbase actually come in here, and what % don't bother coz of the whining or the risk that they may get abuse for not conforming to some of the opinion in this forum? They may not be as mentally strong to deal with it as me .
Just a quick reminder to those who may not have spotted it earlier in the thread Im ProudPreston29 from PNE fans Forum Pebble League , a friendly forum https://pebbleleague.com/ This is our own match thread which you all more than welcome to visit and sign up if you want to join in the debate as a few of you already have https://pebbleleague.com/thread/9143/preston-north-end-watford Including a couple of Graham Taylor videos and all the latest news on the fixture from both clubs Good Luck (but only after tonight) Thanks PP29
In the real world no, in the 'ability to fulfil your contractual obligations as Watford's centre forward and captain' yes, with 100% certainty.
I think you are 100% correct, problem is this shows why the normal stats only give 1/2 of the picture. An hour until we see what happens but you are right I can see a fair few rude words on here @ about 6 if it’s not the same team
Good read, that. I particularly like our home shirt being described as a "shocker" - it really is ugly as sin. I'm quite glad not to have seen it IRL. As regards the game, I always associate playing Preston with three things: -Always drawing or losing (most recent game notwithstanding) -That b*stard Jon Macken always scoring. -That b*stard David Nugent always scoring. Tough match ahead. You'd like to hope our horrendous record there will have no bearing but who can say. If we play 4-3-3, solid 2-0 win. If Xisco makes any pointless changes or even considers going 4-4-2, then low score draw, defeat or ludicrous undeserved 1-0 penalty win.
On Sky last week they were saying that Watford have the best strike partnership in the league in Deeney and Gray. The quality of punditry is truly incompetent. The guy who does Quest show and the woman who sometimes Championship on Sky are excellent, proper football fans who research the teams, read the forums to get the fans inside view. I would replace Linekar and his cronies with proper football fans and save the Licence fee payers a few million per year.
Cant wait to see the team. Mainly because if its unchanged I'm paying my tenner, putting Hive on and give Emma a good ogle. If it's the chuckle brothers I will take the dog for a walk then watch the free **** out of focus single camera angle red button on Sky if I can be bothered.
I've always thought that the combination of twitter, this forum and what my mates say is a good reflection of what Watford fans feel about something. Not heard many complaints at all about Deeney being dropped. If you want to see the walrus in our starting 11 then please step outside and we'll have a friendly chat.
Pretty sure we played 4-4-2 when we won earlier in the season against them. Obviously I prefer that we play whatever system allows us to play with verve, quality, speed etc etc
Not a complaint as such, but I'm not necessarily sure what Wilmot has to do here - he's gone from being taken out of a winning pair for no specific reason, to suddenly not even being the replacement when WTE is out.
