  • Word from a Watford fan is Louza is their best player  and Baah is a real danger man.
    Need to be careful that he doesn't make us feel a bit sheepish!!

    To be fair, I'm surprised that Baah hasn't gone on to have a better career, he showed his talent / potential against us in the 4-4 with Rochdale, when we played Paul Smyth at Right-Back (2020/21?), surprised he's still at Watford.

    Where? I can't find the game. 
  • That bench is class though

    Hard not to feel bad for Macca but on balance probably the right decision. Not only is that team a decent step up in terms of quality from last season but that bench really packs a punch. 
    I feel like Macca covers all three CB positions too, useful sub

    Im on sky - it's now moved onto Frank Lampard and Coventry -

    It was a 3 minute interview with Jones and Wilder 
  • The Docherty haters are going to be annoyed. Starting and captain. 
  • Ah fair enough saw the lampard conversation 
  • The Docherty haters are going to be annoyed. Starting and captain. 
    Nobody could hate Docherty
  • Note to self.... Don't let the missus book travel arrangements without considering possible promotion to the Championship the following season. 😉 To be fair we booked them in January, when we were absolute shite. On route to Gatwick. Will be watching in the emirates lounge prior to departure. I'm also surprised TC got the nod over tanto, I really hope he has a brilliant start. UTA!!

  • AMB will be disappointed. Despite Mannion not playing at all in preseason,  he's straight back in on the bench.

    Am a little surprised to see Berry and Knibbs on the bench already.

    Cant really have any arguments about the team so far
    Much stronger bench than last week 
    I'd go as far as to say the bench is stronger than most of our starting 11 over the past few years. 
    Gives Jones plenty of options if needed. 
  • Got a lovely bacon and sausage sandwich right about now.

    The Valley @ Home really have outdone themselves this summer
  • We can fill a 20 man squad, despite a couple of injuries,  with no kids on the bench. That's impressive. 
  • Fans bar is still a joke.  That is all.
  • That front two is too lightweight imo. Concerned that if we go direct we won’t be able to hold the ball up and will be surrendering possession cheaply. 

    Am actually surprised Kelman is starting, though he looked undercooked at Southend and only managed 45mins.

    Hoping for the best, but this could be a rude awakening.

    Forces us not to lump it .  Good .  
  • I'm going 1-0... Miles off the bench to score the winner 3 minutes from time. Come on Charlton.

    It'll be balls into the channels hoping to get in behind with pace from TC and Kelly. Think we are assuming Watford will play a high line.
  • The TC thing is because he naturally pulls wider than Tanto and Watford like to play narrow and invert their full backs into midfield. TC gives their right back a headache 
  • TC over Tanto is the only controversial one for me there 
    Maybe, but you want som creativity in there somewhere. 
  • Charlton tv stream stuck
  • Also bringing on Tanto later on against a tired defence sounds sensible 
  • Looking good so far

    Didnt think coverage was starting till 12noon?
