#BHAFC v #WFC: Stockdale, Bruno, Greer, Dunk, Bennett; Ince, Crofts, Gardner; Teixeira, O'Grady, Colunga

edit: good to see O'Grady start imo although I guess ir was maybe unavoidable.

Oh dear Sami, where is Paddy? Please try harder.

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]

very

No Kaz and Supertramp to put Watford on the back foot from the start.

Lol..last weeks thread pre match re lineup was pretty negative ..and we didn't do that bad..judge post match

 

[Joey Jo Jo Jr. Shabadoo]

Disappointed that Lua Lua isn't starting, think he's been really good the last few games, it was good to see him getting starts and performing.

 

[daveyboy1973]

Set up for a 0-0 again. Wtf does paddy have to do to start?

 

[Solid at the back]

Meh

 

[Mackenzie]

Stockdale

Bruno~Greer~Dunk~Bennett

Crofts~Ince~Gardener

Colunga~Teixera

O'Grady​

Looks alright to me, but seems a bit of a waste to have Holla on the bench.

 

[KZNSeagull]

No Holla. No S'Tramp. Oh. Bit underwhelming really.

SO WE ARE BOUND TO WIN NOW!! Game on.

 

[Meade's Ball]

A shame we're without Holla for this one. Ince should be a bit of a force in front of our backline, but Holla's neat passing will be missed. Have to hope Crofts is on one of his better passing days. He and Gardner should be box-to-box, when they're not filling in for Bruno and Bennett, so we ought to be strong and mobile. I think we have a chance, COG banging one in and Colunga showing off his pace and technique. Come on lads!

 

[Mackenzie]

Set up for a 0-0 again. Wtf does paddy have to do to start?

I don't think Paddy will ever start a match for us, he just hasn't got the legs for 90 minutes, but he's a great option off the bench. He's so good to watch, but I guess he wouldn't be playing for us if he could last a match.

 

[perseus]

Watford have two wide players in Anya and Dyer both starting. I think this is too attacking and we have a chance now.

Happy to see KLL back as impact sub - I know he doesn't like it but I do.

 

[fleet]

Uninspiring starting XI

with injuries to forwards I am not sure there were many other options

 

[GT49er]

Watford have two wide players in Anya and Dyer both starting. I think this is too attacking and we have a chance now.

....or they might just rip through the gaps left by our advanced full backs.......

 

[Wilko]

No Holla, LualLua or McCOurt starting. Looking to defend rather than attack it seems. Still, does mean we have some quality on the bench if we need it.

 

[Silk]

I would have picked Holla for this one.

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]

Better offensive midfield options to start off with instead of telling Watford we'll be happy with a point.

 

[Mackenzie]

I would have picked Holla for this one.

I think everyone is surprised by his omission, perhaps he isn't 100% fit to start, I can't see it being tactical.

 

[Joe Gatting's Dad]

Line-up at Forest looked very negative, but they proved us wrong, without scoring - so, you never know .....
