Win or bust! 3 points here and it’s a decent weekend which will keep up in the mix, setting up a very winnable tie against QPR, backed by a packed away end.

I don’t think Watford are as feared as they once were, but they still have plenty of players capable of doing some serious damage, so we have to be on top form. It was a disciplined performance yesterday and I’d set up as we did for the second half, maybe unleashing Walker for Godden, and Dabo for the ineffective Norton-Cuffey. Such a blow to lose Allen (again). From where I was sitting it looked like a disgraceful challenge from behind, which amazingly went unpunished by the clown in the middle.

2-1 Sky Blues, Gyokeres and McNally. 21,808.

Absolutely.... typically for us, Monday will be the day they "click".... this will be tougher than Stoke....

We need Hamer and Vik to be back on it Monday as both have been poor in the last couple of games. We could do with a good start and an early goal against these.

City 2 Watford 1

Ashdown · Apr 8, 2023

I’m not attending so we will probably win Watford will be dangerous though .
Can’t believe Stoke got turned over yesterday after playing so well against us

Sick Boy · Apr 8, 2023

1-1 draw

Sky_Blue_Dreamer · Apr 8, 2023

Have to win really. But I seem to recall I don't tend to see us play well against Watford.

With Allen out we already know MR is going to play Godden up front with Vic and that rarely works. Also can't see why Burroughs is being left out with BNC and Howley ahead of him.

Wilson
McNally Fadz Doyle
Burroughs Sheaf Hamer Eccles Bidwell
Gyok Walker

Moore, Panzo, Dabo, JWE, Howley, Maguire, Godden

pusbccfc · Apr 8, 2023

1-0 to Watford and a final nail in the coffin.

Wilson
Dabo-McNally-Fadz-Doyle-Bidwell
Sheaf-Hamer-Eccles-Howley
Vik

Does anyone know why Burroughs isn't even on the bench yesterday? I'd be starting him over either Dabo or Bidwell but can't seem to make the squad at the moment.

Earlsdon_Skyblue1 · Apr 8, 2023

Probably one of the last throws of the dice. If we win and results aren't too unkind we will be coming away from the stadium feeling pumped. Let's not give up just yet.

I do remember a 5-0 thumping of Watford back in a league cup game many moons ago. I also went to a 0-1 away win at Vicarage road back in 1984.

Coventry City 2-2 Watford Fc - 10/04/2023

[IMG] I am going to put as much effort into this preview as our players have over the last two games. ..... Done. Prediction: Coventry 3 Watford 1

Wow! I don't think SBT ever got this depressing and negative. Not even when we were playing in League 2 or Northampton.

My heart bleeds for them

Is this negative psychology

Legia Sky Blue · Apr 9, 2023

The trouble with Watford is that we know that they have the players, and if they click on a given day they can beat anyone in this league. Their defeat by Huddersfield might also result in them showing more mettle against us. Then again as a poster said earlier, they could already be packing their beachware. Let's hope its the latter

Covcraig@bury · Apr 9, 2023

Need to win . The last couple of games we have been nothing better than shocking and got away with it.
IF we make it to the playoffs ( IF ) I think we just don’t have the depth of players to make it .
3-1 WIN

Saddlebrains · Apr 9, 2023

Just had a look at the dots

Crowd looks poor. That hammering from Stoke really has made the day trippers think fuck that

ceetee · Apr 9, 2023

I just have this feeling that our season is going to fizzle out

Sbarcher · Apr 9, 2023

Looks like it’s Hamer v Hamer tomorrow.

Yes and another £33 each will put people off.

Shame if that's the case as we're actually nearer the playoffs than before that game! Shame it's the second category A games in a row.

Awful crowd. Most I know aren't going.

Watford should never, ever be a category A game. No one is going to look at Watford and consider it a big game.

Cos it's a bank holiday and everyone is off work.

Maybe they also (mistakenly) thought Watford are a big name at this level and would attract people.

They are ex premier league

Plus it’s on tv

But it's the same as Fulham and Norwich. They are ex PL but don't sell well and no pay on the gate fan will be arsed about them.

The £33 has paid off for the likes is Stoke, West Brom and Sunderland but will hit them tomorrow. Could be one of the lowest home figures of the season despite being a bank holiday and still only 3 off the PO. Watford are only bringing 1500 I believe.

Yep, like they mistakenly chose Norwich and Fulham. No one is arsed about them.

Really? These days you can watch any game on telly.

And many of our home games have actually been on TV.

Games that are on sky usually have a lower attendance don't they ?

Can only think of sunderland being decent

Also £33 though. Cardiff was on sky red button (I believe), and it was our 4th highest home only crowd of around 19,400. Only slightly lower than QPR in second.
