Watford 0 - 2 Brighton & Hove Albion - 12/02/2022

In the meantime, here is my unreasonably optimistic take. Roy has got the back 4 organised, and bar an unfortunate deflection that gave Foster no chance, that would be 2 clean sheets in a row on the road. At the back Foster is a massive upgrade on Bachman, if only for his presence and calmness. We've got Louza back from AFCON, and as Kucka had his 1 in 4 decent game against W Ham, maybe he should come out. Sissoko hopefully got his totally **** game out of his system on Tuesday.

Is Sarr available? Not mentioned on the website one way or another, but hopefully back and ready to go. He won't be up to speed with the Hodgson way of course, maybe subbed on to provide some individual flair. Kalu should be fully integrated - hopefully he will be as positive an addition as the other January recruits.

On our opponents: a solid side, but nothing to be scared of - on a run of draws (and loss to Spuds) which might be starting to weigh on them. Graham Potter seems a decent sort. Brighton is nice. It has a green MP. I'd quite like to live there.


Chin up Hornets!

There, wasn't too hard was it?

 

Shhhh. If we don’t talk about it, nothing bad can happen.

Watford 0 - 2 Brighton

Another good performance and an unlucky defeat with Brighton only having 17 shots compared to our 2, 80% of the ball and 2 goals disallowed.

'Orns!

 

My money is on the most boring game we've ever seen and if we win it then I'll get the champagne out.

 

Watford pinging out emails on a Friday for tomorrow's game. Thousands of tickets available..
Fans voting with their feet.
I guess shopping or gardening is the better option.

 

Can't see beyond a regulation 2-0 Watford win.

 

If there is no thread then we can’t moan about it.

 

Why dont you buy a ticket and actually go to a game.

 

Brighton dont score many, so barring any freak incidents/refereeing blunders we can realistically hope for a clean sheet here.

Hopefully Sarr, Dennis or Pedro can pull off a piece of individual brilliance too score as we dont really look to threatening in our teamplay.

A piece of luck to go our way would be a welcome turn of events.

Please no more King. Requires too many chances to score. Hard work is not enough, might as well have Deeney if thats all he offers.

 

Agreed, Kings tries but has delivered nothing (1 assist) in 9 games of playing every minute.
We have to try to win, which means scoring goals, time to try someone different.

 

Under 2.5 goals is like having a money making machine, (cue a goal fest).

 

I'm sure he's a nice bloke and I know the injuries weren't his fault but I get very irritated whenever I see him playing for Brighton, after he contributed pretty much nothing for a whole season with us as we got relegated then just upped and left on a free.

 

I think we will win this 1-0.

 

This is such a must win game. I can’t stress this enough.

 

Hopefully the club have still got the flamethrowers from the Norwich game out back. If they could spread those around the pitch and put them on a nice steady heat that would be great on a cold day.

 

Sarr is back at the training ground.

Last act was to score the winner in our last victory. Seems a long, long time ago.

Come on you Orns

 

Im bringing a pack of M&S sausages. Should flamegrill nicely, certainly better than the muck they serve outside the ground.

 

I'm going under 1.5 but still has the making of a 0-0 imo.

 

So long ago that you forgot the two goals after his in the same game.

 

No I didn't. He scored the winner. The latter two just made the scoreline look nice.

 

I'll be drinking cheap Beer at Spoons, rather than cheap wine in Bosleys before the game. This change of drink will mean a change in fortune for the flappy Hornets. I'm prepared to accept that I will need the loo more often, sad times for me, good times for the Hornets.


Watford F.C 2- 0 Brighton & Hove Albion F.C.

 

110 seats left but lying about the state of it probably makes you feel important

 

That’s not HOW it WORKS!

 

Sadly Roy blew the budget on his trip to Bournemouth to see his real team play.

 

I think we have a good chance of a win to be fair, we have played much better in the last 2 games (defensively and midfield) and we were unlucky against spam.

however other scores are going against us , we realistically need between 20 and 25 points for survival from 16 games , even if Roy gets the attack working like the defence we are still going down as we need to average around 1.5 points per game

I’m not sure if it’s better to go down fighting or just give up now, love watching Watford but nothing as depressing as watching; us edge ever closer to the drop

 

We haven't beaten them in ages have we? Law of averages says home win.

Unfortunately, law of shyt football teams says away win.

 

Hope we win this one and Hornetboy can start an omelette on my face.

 

They have double the points we have, in other words they’re twice as good as we are.

 

Two or three egg?

 

They've drawn over 50% of their games this season, 12 draws in 22 games

We've only had Sarr available for 50% of our games.

What does this tell us? Absolutely nothing.

Watford 0 - 1 Brighton (Welbeck 11')
