Watford related predictions 2018/2019

Call yourself a football fan? You could easily have got married after the World Cup, had a 3 week honeymoon and still have seen a pre season friendly before taking your new missus to the Brighton game, (just the one game mind).

You need to up your game Burnsy.

 

Given the way I suspect this season will go, I’m looking to down my game if anything.

 

Congratulations!!!

This guy (whoever the hell he is) is saying there is a chance Watford will win the league and he’s willing to bet his life savings on it. I think I’ve found HB1 on twitter.

Now that the transfer window has shut I'll give this a pop:

League position: 16th
FA Cup: Don't care
League Cup: Don't care
Player of the Season: Doucoure
Top Scorer: Gray
Best summer signing: Deulofeu, if he counts. If not then Sema could be a good surprise.
Flop of the season: I'm worried to say it, as it will mean another season of Holebas, but Masina. It's disconcerting that he doesn't appear to be likely to start vs Brighton, even if he might need some time to acclimatise to England. He could be good going forward, but based on pre-season there are question marks about his pace and defensive concentration.
Worst disciplinary record: Whoever plays most out of Holebas and Janmaat.
Gracia to see out the season: Yes, but I'd be very surprised if he started the next season.

 

I will also now do this as the window has closed...

League position: A wake-up call 17th but we’ll be down there all season this time.

FA Cup: 4th Round as focus will be on PL

League Cup: Whatever round we enter in? 2nd?

Player of the Season: Hughes. A breakout season with international recognition.

Top Scorer: Deeney (8 PL goals)

Best summer signing: Deulofeu is fit. Foster if not.

Flop of the season: Masina. Not because he’s not good enough but because we will persevere with Holebas for some reason.

Worst disciplinary record: Holebas. Obviously.

Gracia to see out the season: No. Will be a dead-man-walking by December or before.

 

Now that the window has closed etc etc

League position: 14th
FA Cup: QF
League Cup: 4th round
Player of the Season: Hughes

I think it'll be another season of consolidation, rather than the push for Europe many had initially hoped for, or the struggle many seem to be predicting now.

I have pretty much disagreed with everything you've said recently until I read this. I always go to the 2nd round game, home or away and I don't remember us playing well in any of them!

That’s fine! What annoys me is when people can’t let their differing opinion just sit side-by-side and be debated sensibly. For the most part that happens but then some decide to drag it down to another level needlessly (I’m not saying that’s you btw). I personally don’t think there’s a need for all the posts labelling people as bed-wetters etc. That type of thing only seems to come from one side of the fence from what I’ve read over the last couple of days.

The window wasn't the worst or the greatest, but our midfield has the fundamental quality to see us through

League position: 14th
FA Cup: 5th round
League cup: 2nd round
Player of the season: Hughes
Top scorer: Deeney
Best summer signing: Masina
Flop of the season: Gray
Worst disciplinary record: Holebas
Gracia to see out the season: Yes, Pozzo's won't change him mid season unless he's having an absolute mare

 

This is more on point than most tbf

 

Decent effort. Obviously had a premonition about Capoue ending the career of a serial diver with a hideous and premeditated assault.

 

Looking back at that, none of you have the right to question lawro / merson about their predicitons ever again.

 

Well I got Foster and Masina right. Everything else woeful (gladly)

 

League position: 8th
FA Cup: Winners
League Cup: 3rd round
Player of the Season: Foster
Top Scorer: Deeney
Best summer signing: Deulofeu
Flop of the season: Crap referees

By far the most accurate predictions.

Can everyone else please keep up?

 

I might be being picky but if Foster is player of the season and signed in the summer how can he not be best summer signing?
