Woking 0-2 Watford Fc - 06/01/2019 - Fa Cup Third Round

I will never tire of seeing that photo. Pure art.

 

Ok they will win, but never by "a cricket score"

 

Jeez talk about a manager being negative.

 

I don't buy into that at all. There's not a chance in a million he'll be saying stuff like that to his team before the game. "Ok lads, it's going to be a cricket score today, so pad up".

All he's doing is taking the pressure off saying "we'll get thrashed", because it's face saving. If that happens then he'll say that's the gulf in class, but he'll be hoping his side give it a right go, and run us close.

 

Don't get too cocky - I remember Northwich Victoria.

 

Mate - judging by how "organised" your "defence" was in that clip - are you sure you shouldn't be playing in yellow?

 

I think Gracia will make a lot of changes for this match, but as we saw against Reading and Spurs, the 2nd IX is pretty good also.

I'm going for:

Gomes

Janmaat, Mapps, Cathcart, Masina

Quina, Wilmott, Chalobah (if he's still alive), Cleverley

Penaranda (if he's still alive) Okaka

Subs:
Dahlberg (if he's still alive), Navarro (if he's still alive), Doucoure, Deeney, Success, Holebas, Capoue.

 

To be fair I think there will be a few on here that remeber that. A lot of us took great comfort in Luton Town being a non- league side.

 

Yes.
But also, take a look at this bloke. You'd have to have a few pints before you picked a fight with him. I'll bet those 19-year-olds people are talking about do what he says. Is he abouts to give two fingers to the ref do you think, or is miming a pistol?

 

Come on. It's bullsh**. Take one look at the guy in the photo. He's not saying that to his squad, but he has got to think about morale for their future matches. They're in a good league position.

 

11 changes.

Gomes
Janmaat
Wilmot
Britos
Masina
Hughes
Quina
Chalobah
Cleverley
Success
Penaranda

Subs:

Dahlberg
Navarro
Deeney
Doucoure
Mariappa
Okaka
Sema

Woking 1 Watford 5

 

If it were cricket, I imagine they'd beat us.

Gracia must check the small print here.

 

Important caveats.

Some never leave the Colney Sanitorium.

 

Mute agreement from anyone under the age of conscription.

 

And the goals scored in the last 10 minutes by Deeney, Doucoure and Okaka
Boy that was a nightmare game!

 

That formation looks completely insane when I'm viewing this website on my phone, the back four are all sandwiched together on the right hand side and Dahlberg is hanging around just behind where a left back would normally be. I'm all for trying it.

 

Glad you chose Dahlberg, about time we gave him a chance, always there at home games to watch the match. Would like to see how he performs. Could always sub if if necessary, but would do him good to have a go I think.

 

I have kids 13, 12 and 10 years old. We went NCT classes. They had no impact on parenting skills at all. Prioritise Watford!

 

This is not a class (we're done with them), it's sitting in a pub whilst we all wait for our babies to arrive.

 

Am looking forward to the overly sentimental Football Focus piece on their star striker who has to still do his milk round on the very morning he has to play the biggest day of his life against Top Division footballing giants. Footage of him delivering his last pint at 14.30 before hitching a ride on a local dust cart to the stadium , just in time for kick off.

 

Bit late. We kick-off at 2.

 

I had a quick look on their forum and actually some of them are condescending about us. One comment refering to our fans as being premier league plastics

Just because their fans support a c**p team dosen't make them any better.

 

Milk round pays better than Woking FC. Priorities.

 

Back to the match...

...this is a huge game for us. Nothing less than the 3 points will be a travesty.

I expect us to be professional, take the points and we go again.

 

I believe Gino has already chartered that dust cart to personally drive Okaka and Zeegelaar over to Udine. #takingoutthetrash

 

I still have hope for Okaka.

He’s no worse than our other strikers other than Success who at least has time on his side .

 

I understand that this question will sound a bit patronising and I promise I don't mean it to be it is purely to please my own curiosity.

Q. Do people actually support clubs at that level as a first team?

I know people follow their local non-league club and that but I don't think I have ever met an out an out Hemel fan, they are mostly Watford, Arsenal and whoever else as well.

 

Exactly.

Dahlberg man marking Harry the Hornet.

Overloading around the corner flag.

 

By Uber?

 

Adds to the ****ensian charm.

 

They do.

Not many but some.

Around us, Kingstonian, Richmond & Corinthians all have diehards. They may well also support Chelsea as their Prem club but it’s that way round.

 

Make it a pub with BT Sports and ignore them all or just bin it, not great fun in a pub with half of them pregnant and the other half on lime and soda with hospital bags in the boot.

 

Doesn't matter. He gets subbed on in the 85th minute, giving him enough time to bag a hat-trick. Watford had assumed the 4-0 lead at half-time would be enough, but Welling or whatever they are called are in the 4th round draw. The town is then estatic to learn of their draw against, established Premier League side, Bournemouth! There are tears of joy amongst the Workington natives as they prepare to finally face a footballing 'giant'.

 

Another plastic Premier League fan

For your information they're called Worthing. Show some respect.
