Subscriber Dan+ 1,915 Posted September 28, 2019 Subscriber Share Posted September 28, 2019 Got to say after today I really think Watford are in the shit. Wasn't having it before but that today is another really bad result given the start Wolves have made too. They look a strong bet to go now. Already had their manager change and it's done very little. It's very early days but it's not happening for them. Watford's last win that wasn't against a team that was already relegated was against us in Rodgers' first game. That is shocking form.

Before the season I couldn’t see them relegated. And they’ve very quickly convinced me otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they’ve very quickly convinced me otherwise. They quite regularly start well and finish badly (along with Bournemouth), meaning people tip them for Europe by October and relegation in the summer. This year they've just picked up where they finished. I thought their quality would shine through, and it could yet, but they're on a really really bad run now. Today for me is not far off as bad as last week even if it doesn't get the attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber Storts+ 2,424 Posted September 28, 2019 Subscriber Share Posted September 28, 2019 Also we’d be lost without Harry Kane. Our talisman, and true captain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairy In Boots 607 Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 Table so far based on HT scores. We’re too naive needs to be sorted within next 2-3 games now really Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas 3,825 Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 Your lack of experience is showing. Said that in the Villa thread before you started. Feel you've gone too much quantity over quality. Could do with a couple battle hardened PL players with experience who can help you retain the ball better.

Just on a learning curve, it will come but I agree we do need that older head that can come on at 65-70 mins and just settle them down or wrestle back control. Burnley made it scrappy and distrupted us at several occasions and played themselves back into the game. Plus Targett who was brilliant today has hamstrings made of paper and Neil Taylor was weak in the championship nevermind the PL (at fault for both goals today). Also had no fucking luck at all, and horrendous experience with the officials at this level. After 7 games I don’t think we’ve had a good ref.

Subscriber RandoEFC+ 7,644 Posted September 28, 2019 Subscriber Share Posted September 28, 2019 Watford have to beat Sheffield United next week. It would be mildly amusing to see them actually go down so we can stop hearing about what a well run club they are with their managerial merry go round. Always going to fall down eventually.

Look at my post re HT scores, we’re learning all 21-26 year olds not many over 100 games, so far we’ve arguably been the better side in all expert probably Spurs. Plus tbh I don’t think you’ve watched many of our games to say that, we’ve outplayed Arsenal, West Ham, Bournemouth, Burnley and we’re flat out robbed vs Palace, we just need a little bit of luck. 1 hour ago, The Artful Dodger said: Bit early for 'very bleak'.

I’m concerned that points may invite pressure if we don’t pick up a few soon, I’d still be confident of surviving if we got to jan the first with 18 points. We’ll get a more pacy striker in Jan I reckon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just find the manner you've dropped some of those points a bit worrying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought we were better vs West Ham before the Red card so for the first 60 odd mins, then they were very good once a player down. I’d agree though dropping points is concerning and frustrating. However there’s 3 worst sides in this division than us that’s a given, personally away at Norwich is a tough game I’d take a point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Palace Fan 3,400 Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 I think it speaks volumes about our players and staff that they've managed to put the disappointment of a terrible transfer window behind them and really galvanised together to produce a good start. Our next five/six games are horrendous before a lucrative run before Christmas. Hopefully Batshuayi will be available in January and it will be onwards and upwards for us. I cant see Roy staying on as hes disgruntled working with Greedman, and the squad is only going to get weaker with no Wilf and investment, so need to make the most of these moments.
