    I can only assume Ndong's last suspended game was Stoke as he was a registered Watford player but just not signed in time to be included in the squad for that game.

    It's 343 for those who are wondering.

    That'll be the number of seconds before we concede.

    Very odd to say it's odd. We'll probably win which will also be odd. Oddtimism.

    At least Gracia is flexible and doesn’t name the same team / formation regardless of previous results unlike our last 3 managers.

    However it would be more safe to ask Kate & Gerry McCann to look after your kids for the night than have Holebas, Zeegelaar and Janmaat on the pitch at the same time.

    That is as rancid a lineup as you could hope to see with 5/6 sub par players. Shows up our pathetic transfer window for what it was. Glad I didn't bother going. 0-5.

    If we win I'll certainly be some form of optimistic. I think.

    Hopefully we'll be able to expose Cahill with Deeney's pace.

    This must be the case but still seems strange how it works like this. I wonder is there an example of this happening before?

    Hopefully our uncertainty over how we'll line up will also be reflected in the Chelsea dressing room.

    Hopefully Gracia's thrown a spanner in the works of their planning and they're now frantically trying to reorganise themselves.

    Zeegalaar actually isn't bad going forward. I presume he's replacing Pererya on the left.

    Well it'll be interesting, that's for sure.

    If I were manager though, I'd insist that Janmaat wears his stupid headband over his eyes in the hope it'd improve his defensive positioning.

    Wonder if we'll get to see Luke Bakkyo or N'Diddy tonight.

    What price one of them to get on the score sheet?

    I may be wrong but I think Holebas has played in a back three twice for us before...

    Liverpool a - L 6-1
    Man city h - L 5-0

    Stunning. Absolutely stunning. We have no decent full backs so we play 3 of them ? Who is mukenda ? 0-5.

    I guess since left back is our weakest position we might as well chuck two of them out. 9-0 Chelsea.

    If anything sums up the lineup it's Sky Sports News showing Tommie Hobang's picture in place of Holebas.
