    Watford could be without Hameur Bouazza who is struggling with a bruised ankle.

    The striker looks set to join knee-injury victims Ben Foster and Marlon King as well as defender Clarke Carlisle (thigh) on the sidelines.

    Sheffield United boss Neil Warnock has a few injury worries but has not named who the afflicted arem, wating until Tuesday before delivering his verdicts.

    Striker Danny Webber comes into contention after missing the last two matches with a hamstring strain.

    Chris Powell is apparently going to replace Jordan Stewart in defense and Priskin is going to be getting a starting position up front. :)

    To be fair sexybadger is quite clued up when it comes down to the starting 11...if he says powell and priskin are starting then i believe that!

    Don't hold me to it Bubble. My source has made mistakes in the past. ;)

    Well to be honest I think you're right anyway and they're the two changes i'd have made! I'd probably stick with Malky for this one so he can keep Hulse in his pocket, ala, Cardiff in May!

    Lee
    Doyley
    Mackay
    Demerit
    Powell
    Noddy
    Mahon
    Spring
    Young
    Henderson
    Priskin

    subs: alec, shi2, bangura, macca and chambers


    I'd fancy Macca to maybe make an impact in a game like this if it's tight, a little 20 minute cameo at the end if neccessary!

    Also fancy a 2-1 win with Priskin and Henderson scoring their first prem goals!

    Thinking about it drop the powell / Doyley sub and add in Macca.

    I doubt macca will start, he doesn't have enough first team games to play in such an important match

    why do people prefer powell to stewart. powell is too old and slow to keep up with webber and kazim-richards

    Tell me when you've seen Powell outpaced this season? He uses his quality and experience to get to where the wingers are gonna be, before they even know they're heading there! I prefer him to Stewart because poor old Jordan catches up with players and then proceeds to fall head over arse, making the whole exercise a bit futile!

    I would like

    To see Powelly at left back, but overlapping as a wing back and Jordan in Midfield tracking back when Powelly does his runs.

    Both players are super fit and can run all night. You would see a much more composed Jordan on the ball with Powelly supporting him.

    who would be sacrificed then to play stewart left mid?

    HB is injured.
     
  16. Bubble

    Well I personally think Young is at his best when playing down the middle...so perhaps Powell and Stewart could team up down the left!

    In the arguement with Powell and his supposed lack of pace, i don't think that's fair really! As UEA said, when have you seen Powell out paced? Plus his experience and ability to read the game mentally makes him quicker than most of our defenders!
     
  17. WatfordÉire

    WatfordÉire Squad Player

    agree with the experience and mental quickness but if it's 0v0 or even worse 0v1 tomorrow night and we go all out for it, his lack of actual pace may cost us. but thats just my opinion and i understand where you lot are coming from too

    Could see a surprise with HB actually playing tomorrow.

    Apparently he trained today :)

    well was i right or was i right about malky and powell being too slow:rolleyes:
     
  20. Bubble

    Bubble Wise Oracle

    Wouldn't say Powell was too slow BUT i'd certainly say Mackay is!

    I like Mackay but he wasn't convincing on Tuesday.

    I know Shittu is prone to the odd error but i don't undertsand how he seems to have fallen from favour so quickly. IMO he is a key part of the team and when you looked at the starting line up without Shittu, King, Young, Hammeur and Foster it's easy to see why we were so poor.
     
  22. Bubble

    Bubble Wise Oracle

    Exactly, i'm afraid i had to question Aidy on that one! Was a strange team selection/formation he picked and it really didn't work!

    I would have gone with:

    Lee
    Doyley
    Shittu
    Demerit
    Powell
    Noddy
    Mahon
    Bangura
    Stewart
    Henderson
    Priskin


    I personally think Priskin will come good given a run in the side!
