    ‘Deep circulation’
    (lots of piss!ng around tip tapping between defenders)

    ‘When we have a period of possession, we don’t really know what to do with it, and aren’t effective at it..’

    Yup, that sums us up our season.

    Another frustrating day at the Vic.
    1-1

    I wonder if our players get as much information before games?

    I'm interested to know whether we can put in a performance on a cold, wet Sunday lunchtime in Stoke.

    I'm being optimistic and going for a slim 1-0 defeat. Eustace with the goal.

    The anticipation was building by like any week until I realised this game is still 9 days away.

    With Sarr being injured on the bus back from international duty, I think we might go with 4 centre backs for this one to combat all the balls being swung in to the box because we have 0 full backs.

    Will be somewhere else next Sunday. Might just be best for the blood pressure. Wilmot to pop up with a goal.

    My wife's running the London Marathon so not only do I get the immense pride of seeing her finish I'll be watching completely oblivious to the no full back Gino stitch up show at the rainy cold Bet365 Stadium.

    I would love to know how he would injure himself on the team bus. Stub a toe on the steps getting on/off perhaps? :p

    10 best cheese shops near Stoke. None in Stoke, though.

    Dovedale Blue is good, Black and Blue is somewhat similar but with cracked black pepper.
    They also do Buxton Blue but I have not tried this.
    If anybody is interested their range can be found here at http://staffordshirecheese.com

    At least we won't be playing that awful 3-5-2 anymore!

    Stoke 0-3 Watford

    Pedro x 2
    Sarr x 1

    I think you could be in for a shock. Bilic played with a back three system in China and used it a fair amount at West Brom and West Ham.

    Surely not stupid enough to think it can be applied to this squad in its current form, though, eh?

    Even if a 4-atb does leave us with the sum total of one left back and a collective half a right back...

    Easy win for Stoke , helps stoke the pressure against Gino and his inept staff.

    I am seeing similar comments all over social media.

    How can any genuine Watford fan want the team to lose?

    How can any Watford fan continuously back the actions of the owner?

    You often seem to though.

    Genuine fans don’t.
    Fans with an agenda and a desire to be proved right over a desire for victory do.

    Who cares anymore.

    0 0 Gino will go home and have a posh wink over his new head coach thinking he's right again.

    Quite easily. I don't want Gino Pozzo to get any enjoyment out of this football club as he's taken any enjoyment away from me. Who cares if Bilic wins every game between now and the end of the season? He'll probably be replaced in the summer, we'll go into a PL season having added a few Bayat specials to the squad and we'll get battered every week. We're not a serious club anymore, success is now keeping a head coach longer than 5 months.

    I'll support Bilic and the players that turn up every week. But as far as results go, who cares? What difference does it make?

    In answer to your question: quite easily, I have given my reasons many times.

    Can you answer my question?

    I'm not having a go at you or trying to start trouble, I just don't understand how any fan could want Watford to lose
