I think Watford were a bit unlucky on saturday,but you have to feel this is a game were we should get 3 points,with the micky mousers coming up, ill take 7 points out of 9,a draw on saturday will be great,scouse gits !!!

[ballard45]

From watching the highlights of the game against Charlton, there seems to be a real confidence about the Hammers. I think we will win this and I wouldn't be surprised to see a similar scoreline of 3-1 to us.

With no injuries from the Charlton game, the same team and hopefully the same result, this game as well as the scouse game on Saturday are being shown live down here, C'mon you loverly Irons!!!

No dodgy hips then but those holes in my hands hurt!
No good for playing in goal.

There is a family likeness although, as you know Brian, some believe that this is a picture of my son.

on further reflection...

is the lineup that soccernet show correct?

Probably. But Mullins and Collins are probably playing defensively in a boxed midfield with Bowyer and Reo-Coker more advanced.

Certainly an interesting lineup, but one which provides plenty of impetus for Konchesky and Painstil to get up the wings and provide the width with the aforementioned defensive midfielders picking up the slack in the back.

Really does display the lack of wide options with Etherington out and Newton suspended.

Bloody freezing with a heavy frost, so much for the sunny South Pacific!!:cool:

Must be cold at Vicarage Road.It took us 33 mins to get a shot on goal.
