    Another win incoming to lock in the midtable position. Which is pretty good effort all told.

    Would just like to see the reaction if we lost 3-5 or something.

    “well least it was entertaining and attacking ..”

    Going gung ho and just trying to outscore the opposition is admirable but in our case unlikely as
    recently we have been relying on Worldies \pens\errors from opponents

    We are positioned at 11th in the league and Huddersfield at 20th.
    As an engineer, I'm always interested to know the speed and direction of a moving object - not just its position.

    Star signing Healey still injured and I assume Hogg can't play under the terms of the loan so should be a comfortable afternoon for the 'orns. 0 - 0.

    Is that number of strikers or number of wingers?

    Good point, but you can’t dismiss the impact of our MAHUSIVE win last week.

    Of course. How could I overlook that? It's highlighted below, showing just how HAHUSIVE a win it was. upload_2024-2-23_13-32-48.png

    4-2-4 with cbs and two dms staying back. Rajovic as target man and Dennis as complete forward. Sema and Asprilla on wings and both fbs given overlapping attacking duties. Gives us 6 in attack with four players staying deep to thwart any counter attacks plus our pacey fbs will get back at some point. Turns into a 4-4-1-1 when needed with Rajo behind Dennis looking for flick ons.

    Val might as well start experimenting with systems for next season at this point, no chance of relegation and we arent going to trouble the playoffs now.

    When they read out the teams and say Hogg, does anyone else then shout Deeeeeny in their head? or is it just me

    Slightly narcissistic. Why would we shout your name ?

    I get a different one that plays on extended in my memory. Of Knockaert going down like a sack of bricks then missing the penalty and then hunched over when he see's Deeney's won the tie. Justice. Football doesn't have that in spades, but I am sure that hurt :p

    Going to watch St Albans tomorrow. Looking forward to a few beers and a decent game, for a change.

    Looking forward to the game, no matter how bad we are i could never watch another match at the same time Watford are playing (either at the game or online). Once a hornet, always a hornet through thick & thin.

    The best form of defence is attack, if we keep them on the back foot instread of f*****g about in our own half and inviting them on, we should win this one.

    Advice to anyone doing the Mr Q challenge today. You are not going to win, the best you can do is avoid embarrassment.

    If you want to get anything out of the experience, do a 180 turn, head for the Rookery End goal, slot the ball in, stick you jumper over your head or take your top off and run off (to the applause of thousands) with your arms in the air.

    It will be a priceless moment you, your mates and family will never forget. Better than £10k you’ll never see.

    True and agree but don’t think Val will go 442 with 2 strikers and wide men .

    It’s like one of those fairground games where you try to throw the ball into a bucket. The ball always comes out as it’s fixed. Same with kicking the ball on centre circle spot. If you notice, there’s a guy always standing right near the centre centre spot before a kick is taken, if by some miracle someone kicks is near, he’s there just to flick it away and hope nobody notices.

    They did this somewhere else. The guy knew he was up so practiced for a few hours down the park. Then did it!

    Our lot don't seem to know how to kick a football.
    There should be 100 lined up for the last game of the year. If nobody makes it, the closest wins the 10k.

    To get the ball to stay in the bucket, you need to take a step to the side & throw at an angle so that you hit as high up the side wall of the bucket as you can instead of the base

    Yup. Every other week at the Vic we have to watch those clowns, being announced over the annoying, lining up and making a hash of every kick. Then half time comes and we have to watch fans doing the same thing.

    I promise you, if I get to do it, (how does that happen anyway), then I'm doing the above.

    Also need to have a masterful eye in geometry due to the size of the buckets and the 'curve' of the ball. It reminds me of those claw machines in arcades, equally as rigged due to the pathetic grip of said claw.

    For me, this is the game we have to win. If we lose today, and QPR beat Rotherham, all of a sudden, Huddersfield are on 37 points and QPR will be on 35 points. We’ll be on 44 points.

    Hopefully we’ll win and then can relax, but lose then I think there will be a lot of worried people looking over their shoulders.
