Incredibly tough fixture this one, I’ll take a bore draw and a clean sheet please

The return of Worrall & Sow can’t come quick enough - though I fear that this one comes too early.

I`d love to see us keep a clean sheet, but the way we are playing and the way Watford are scoring I can only see one outcome...another loss

Watford’s away form of late hasn’t been great

[ThePromisedLand]

Neither has ours - home or away - unfortunately.

They'll be looking forward to playing us then.

We need to get our noses in front if we can, If we go a goal down I can't see us getting anything from the game unfortunately.

To be fair the Swansea match was Hughton’s first defeat at home.

there are 3 ways to set up: A. 2 brick walls ; B. the present but defence focussed set up ; C. the full on offensive throw the kitchen sink job.

I think to get the draw or nick a win against strong teams you go with plan A, against weaker teams at home definately plan C, plan B isn't working except for a more respectable amount of possession but ultimately low scoring, damage limitation losses and pretend we were always in the game and a few what ifs.

Basically nothing new has really been tried for a long time, there is a strong case for going full on, plan C and really find out if we can actually score a couple of goals early in the game, then revert to either plan A or B.

Often with the present middling set up the players have a focus on inertia, defensive and keeping shape responsibilities hence a lack of options for forwards, and hence having to hold the ball up for an age or half hearted crosses to noone in the box and/or half clearances begging to be hit and no forest player in the same parish.

The only thing we know for a fact is CH will set up exactly the same as in all the other games and Watford win 2 nil.

I’d be very happy with a 0-0 too.

Colback out.
Arter seemingly struggling.
How about introducing Cafu?
Can’t see what we have to lose.
