[Albion] Watford vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

[banjo]

I've just seen this posted on the Watford fans forum match day thread. Talk about clueless:

"As an aside although Brighton deserved their win no doubt they are just the Burnley of the south .
A functional 4-4-2 , get the full backs high, work hard , discipline, shape, bog standard pragmatic basics".

4-4-2 can’t remember the last time we played this formation bless them.

Watford look doomed, hopefully they’ll bounce back, I’ve always found them a decent bunch of fans.

Edit... Lallana and Moder....

Cantor and Aspinall in the early stages commented that Hodgson/Lewington were perplexed in a long discussion trying to fathom out our formation.

Potter strikes again

Sounds a bit more sophisticated than Burnley’s 442.

Joe Cole loves us.

Sitting on the BT Sport sofa today. Singing the praises of literally all things Albion, then he described the subs of Bissouma and MacAlister as “Bringing on two world class players in my opinion”.

The whole BT studio team were excellent, over the 90 minutes they covered us in detail with no made-up waffle.

Like many of us....


And by the time we did work it out - he'd changed it.

More regulars…..

The way i see it is that the fewer fans we take to an away game the " regulars " are less diluted and closer together thus more united in volume and coherence . I am quite sure that most of the fans who were there today were at spuds but because they were spread widely they couldn't " get it together "
As an example the biss song at spuds seemed to be being sung by four separate groups who all started at different times ! thus almost incomprehensible .
I absolutely love it when the away support sing in unison such as ring of fire at fulham or the maupay song at stains but it is incredibly difficult to achieve when many more people are involved .

 

[Solid at the back]

We are safe. Every game is a free hit now. Well done lads.

Possibly, but there seemed an awful lot of pillocks at Spurs.

That person cant have been watching the game as we quite clearly werent playing 442, considering we had 3 centre backs on the pitch and 2 wing backs.

You are exactly right ! i should have ended my post with the line " many more people including a lot of pillocks involved "

They've turned on poor old Anne Swanson now and how much TB has spent.
No mention of a monorail yet

Almost 50,000 Spurs fans there apparently!

Their apparent player spend will always be artificially lower due to Pozzo family deals in bringing in players from their other clubs.

Fair play to Hodgson, he sussed it out at 16:55 hours. Better late than never.

Comically here I’m a poor man’s Marcel Marceau, with a pad and pen to hand.

True.

Also true is that this team doesn’t go out onto the pitch with a set formation to stick with. Everything is fluid.
