Watford Fc 1-1 Southampton - 28/02/2024 - Fac4

I don’t think we will win, but Saints surely won’t play their strongest team?

 

Exactly. Plus their focus is mainly going to be on the league. Not saying that makes it any easier for is but I'm hardly quaking at the thought of Southampton.

 

Yep, I would be bothered. I would like a cup run plus winning breeds confidence. As for beating them being a slim chance I'm not sure why. We're at home, we've lost only 3 in 16 or 17 games and we're 9th in the same league as them. We're not a bad team I get frustrated when I see quotes like that which suggests we're completely terrible. They will be favourites but not by much and will almost certainly make changes so I fancy us to win this

 

Your entitlement pains me. Southampton are doing very well in the championship. As such they will go straight through the Premier League next season. Effectively we are playing a European Super League team on Saturday.

Perspective please.

 

Me too; especially as I can't see us going up or down this season.
The bookies seem to agree with your assessment that Southampton are favourites, but not by much. Currently Oddschecker is showing:
Southampton 21/20
Watford 5/2
Draw 11/4

 

Will we ?

 

I don't see why not. We don't have much else to play for.

 

Should think so. Or at least no radical changes beyond the normal game to game rotation Val goes in for.

 

Odds don't mean much to me so I've converted them to probabilities, with which I'm more at home:
Southampton 48.8%
Watford 28.6%
Draw 26.7%
So, I was wrong about what the bookies expect: Southampton are reckoned to be getting on for twice as likely to win as Watford.

I don’t think the team will be too dissimilar to the 3rd round in all honesty. I think it will pretty much be the same side- maybe Lewis in for Morris but that’s it

 

Hope we go for it, will be at least 7 non PL teams in the last 16 and no reason a few other PL won't lose to lower opposition (Forest, Wolves & Bournemouth).

 

My apologies sir and of course we should just bow down in front of them as they arrive at the ground in the knowledge that they're are far superior

 

We ain't going up and we ain't going down, so why not give this a go.

 

I can't really see Healey making this one!

 

Isn't that what 'cup-tied' means? He's tied to us for all cup games?

 

We ain't gonna win the cup, so why not give the league a go ?

 

Ahaha I forgot about him. If the rumours of Ince leaving have anything to them then maybe he won’t be involved either

 

Give Dennis some minutes to get used to wearing a Watford shirt again!

 

If Dennis plays we win. Simple as that. There's not a team in this shytty league that can come close to handling him. Not one.

 

We stand even less chance of winning the cup.

 

Why not both?

 

Just search for his Watford goals on YouTube. Make sure you have a hanky in reach.

 

10 goals and 6 assists in a woeful premier league team plus the most megs in all of Europes top 5 leagues .

 

Think of how many it would have been if we hadn't appointed the senile, pro-Apartheid Hodgson

 

Probably a meg record that would still stand 100 years from now.

Hard to believe Woy is still manager in the premier league isn't it?

 

Not for long. He's on Double Secret Probation.

 

Why is this match not kicking off at 3 o'clock on Saturday afternoon? It isn't on the telly and I don't think either team had a champions league fixture this week

 

Apparently we are on during prime time in Mozambique

 

Live on ESPN+ in the US

 

To make it more difficult for fans to get to the match.

 

The draw for the 5th round takes place just after we kick off. Which is both weird and annoying!

 

We're going to get smashed, aren't we?
