Watford friendly (3 Viewers)

[sw88]

Good chance for 2 blazed over by Pugh.

Good build up by Clarke cheating the ball past a defender, played out wide to miller who crosses for O Brien but can't get a good connection then Pugh hoofs the ball high and wide

broke?

I don't mind being wrong as long as we win

 

[sw88]

Miller looking strong up top and more involved

 

[sw88]

Good long range effort from Tudgay saved well by Gomes

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Tuday shot produces a good save from Gomes. Corner to City

 

[sw88]

Johnson tries a 'mo konjic' like run. Needs to improve on the finish though. Was more of a pass back from him

 

[stupot07]

Is the march to the arch back on? #wecandothis

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Miller shot deflected for a corner

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Half time. Watford 0-1 City. Tudgay.

 

[sw88]

Half time. 1-0 up.

More impressive today. This can't be far from our first 11 v Bradford imo.

Looked comfortable in possession and out of it.

Pressing the ball well and finding the front two most of the time.

Few chances created, and decent performance overall.

 

[sw88]

Got to say though I'm glad we don't have a foreign manager! Is theirs Italian? How the players can communicate with him on the side lines is beyond me. I thought having a scot was bad enough

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Think it's another 15 minutes of the second half for the players who started the match then the second lot get half an hour.

He's gonna be a Hero If he stays fit.

 

[Nick]

Sounds promising so far, how have the strikers linked up?

 

[sw88]

Johnson off for Seabourne and Burge on for Allsopp

They're doing ok together but I think most of the better play has come from the midfield getting balls to them rather than them getting it from one another, if that makes sense

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

To pick up on a couple of points raised there. SP confirmed last night that Baker and Barton will be leaving the club.

From CCFC live blog

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

2nd half team for Watford: Gomes; Doyley, Angella, Ekstrand, Pudil; Murray, Andrews, McGugan; Deeney, Ranegie, Fabbrini.

 

[sw88]

Troy Deeny in in the second half. He's one unit! Not sure who their 23 is either playing up top too, but he's also a big lad.

Not many chances created by us this half so far but good practice for off the ball recovery

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Swanson on for O'Brien
Maddison on for Tudgay
Thomas on for Miller

 

[sw88]

Swanson Thomas and Maddison on (or 'the two young strikers' as Pressley referred to them on the bench)

O'Brien, Tudgay and Miller off

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

1-0 City

Tudgay

How is this possible, surely you lie?

Tudgay is terrible as he was a free transfer and we are going down.

Don't get too excited. Apparently goals in anything but league games don't count

Just opinions ..

I'll wait before nailing my colours to either mast.

 

[sw88]

Barton Haynes Lawton Daniels Finch Phillips on

Pugh Webster Fleck Willis Thomas Clarke off

 

[Nick]

Is Barton just playing for Scouts or something?

Back to 4-4-2.

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

Is Barton just playing for Scouts or something?

If that was the case then surely we would want to keep him off the pitch.

 

[wingy]

Back to 4-4-2.

No Seabourne

 

[Nick]

If that was the case then surely we would want to keep him off the pitch.

Just wondered why he is getting gametime if he isn't going to be bothered with.

Besides, it's in the past. Meaning that's referencing his previous record, which is no indicator of how he'll do in the future

Keep/get him fit? Shop window (and not in the Noel Whelan sense)?

Just to piss Carl Baker off?

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Great save from Burge to save McGugan's shot

Yep ... he's now the biggest Villian never to play In Birmingham.
