    Sounds like a thriller. Lots of mistakes, lots of goals, Schmeichel heading the winner in the 95th minute.

    Claudio has listened. He heard you.

    "There may be opportunities for players from Omer Riza’s Under-23 squad. The likes of Vincent Angelini, James Morris and Kamil Conteh have all been on the bench in the Premier League this season and could get time on the pitch to impress the Head Coach.

    “Kamil [Conteh] is a very good young player, and also Morris. Morris will play, and Kamil maybe,” he said.

    And so did Shakespeare, that's Will not Craig by the way:
    “That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.”

    Vardy out for eight weeks, when do we play Leicester properly?

    Watfordy.

    We’ll win this as doing so will be of absolutely no benefit to us whatsoever.

    I’m not wholly sure why i’m going to it either.

    Filbert, give us a wave.

    More importantly, Leicester have no players for their game against Burnley the following weekend.

    Not sure how Leicester currently adhere to the 13+1 criteria. Might be in our interests to injure a few more of them.

    Being shown on Premier Sports 1 over here, not sure if available in UK, so there should be decent rivers going.

    I'll be there in person however, for some reason.

    Website says tickets are sold out, how many did we get?

    Just when you look at the Leicester team with a bit of hope for an actual win, you hear Ranieri bigging up our U23s.

    Try again next year.

    I'd just like to see Sierralta partnered with Samir. With Nkoulou still out and the next new CB not having arrived yet, as it stands that paring's likely about as good as it's going to get at centre back, and the quicker they build an understanding the better.

    2 teams' reserves and yoofs under orders to play walking football and begging the other team to score.

    Someone I used to work with is a Leciester STH, and says they've only got 9 senior players for tomorrow. Am I imagining it or was there something to basically say, tough luck, play the kids or are we looking at another last minute postponement?

    Yes think the FA pretty much said that.

    Basically be whose youth team/Under 23s are better...and it's not ours!

    5 weeks ago. We called him a sex offender and he absolutely battered us.

    Never as bad as that one about ‘Nigel Pearson knowing exactly what we need’

    I'm pretty sure the 1881 tried to bring a similar version back against Spurs, it sunk like a lead balloon.

    Everything points to our 'C Team' p***ing on their 'F Team' (named in honour of part-time Orn @Filbert of course).

    This may be just me but I would sack off the league and go full strength for this. I would take an FA Cup win even if it meant we were relegated to the Southern League Division One South in successive seasons.

    if we do decide to play the kids etc. I would like our three new signings to be at least on the bench and hopefully given at least a cameo roll at some time in the match.

    I went to Muff away in our relegation season and at HT there was some bell-end shouting "WHO WE GOT?" over and over. Of course, 75% of the Watford fans' sang the song over and over for about ten minutes. I know we won 3-0 and it was a great day out - but that.... just never again.

    ‘Cathcart at the back, Deeney in attack’

    Surely Jacob and Ucko can’t be confused why many think it’s weird they have self-selected themselves as the public voice of Watford fans.

    Not sure why I bought tickets for this one as I am not feeling it at all. Still hopefully get to see the new players.

    Morris isn’t real. I’m not having it.

    With 3 new signings to ‘bed in’ to a new team and system, and only this game to do so before our make or break week, I think we should be going full strength. It’s a bit like a final pre-season game before the real stuff starts. I appreciate from what Claudio has said it’s not happening, just saying what I would do.

    By the way, I’m still a fan of the FA Cup and would love to see us win it (even the league cup will do) in my life time. Good chance to progress tomorrow by the sounds of it.

    I was looking for a stream, saw your link and then realized that it will be shown on viaplay here in Finland. Not a free service but I have it. Now getting excited for another miserable afternoon of dross.

    I said something similar on here earlier and ideally I would like the new players to get a chance to bed in as long as they and all the other players we use are 100% fit and not carrying even a slight injury.

    I say this because I'm not really to concerned about the cup this year and I would not want to risk any of our players aggravating any slight injury then missing out on what could well be our make or break week when it comes to our PL survival.

    Only worth trying this in a year we've seen City knocked out.
