[SULLY COULDNT SHOOT]

Set pieces innit

Hmmm...interesting. I would of thought any change for Barnes would of been with David Lopez. Gus probably sees something in Watford that Orlandi can take advantage of perhaps?

Lopez is right sided, Orlandi is left sided. Barnes mostly plays on the left.

 

[SULLY COULDNT SHOOT]

Wonder why Lopez is not on bench... wouldve thot he would be ahead of Harley

Interesting change, Gus obviously sees the quality in Orlandi's corners and set pieces. Hope Dobbie gets a look in though

 

[Triggaaar]

DONT DO THAT!!!!

I almost opened player thinking Id missed the beginning of the game!!!

You haven't missed anything, still nil nil, no shots on target.

 

[Safe.]

We will score from a set piece tonight. FACT.

Was just about to say orlandi's in to take the set pieces. Watford have been crap at defending them.

For all those driving up...

The M25 is absolutly badgered at Junction 12 clockwise

Must be the cull. Mind you I thought they were gassing 'em, not running the buggers over.

First goal scorer hammond from a corner delivered by orlandi, book it.

Lopez is right sided, Orlandi is left sided. Barnes mostly plays on the left.

I'm pretty sure i read somewhere Lopez can play right and center too? Might of misread i guess! If so, i stand corrected. Didn't Lopez replace Barnes on Friday? Did he stay left or swap with Orlandi to the right? Sorry, wasn't at the game, so just going by what i heard on the commentary.

Lopez played on the right on Friday.

I was half expecting Barnes on the bench but thought Dobbie would come in.

Lopez can also play centre. And he came on when Barnes went off, but Orlandi was already on the pitch (for Buckley). I think it was a case of Lopez coming on and going on the right and orlandi moving over to the left. There was only a few minutes betwee the substitutions.

I'm sure both of them are flexible enough to play either side (like Bennett, Noone, Buckley and Lualua have done on occasion), but I think their preferred positions are left for orlandi and right for lopez.
