In the first meeting this season that non rated defender VDH kept Deeney out of the game.
Can you see FF doing so? |  | | |

I believe there is far more possibility of FF keeping Deeney out than MVD
Deeny obviously had an off day ....
Back to match day

Watford are an ageing group of players who in the last match covered even less ground than our lot. A couple of weeks ago they struggled to beat Sunderland 1 - 0 at home, they have a manager who's under pressure and have nothing much to play for. A tense, nervy match that we win 1 - 2.

I really thought we might catch them a few weeks ago. I can't believe they are 9 points ahead now. Christ, what a shite season this has been. |  |

Sounds petty but I hate the saying. People have been claiming games are ''must win'' since December, we have lost most of them yet we can still survive. Lose this game and we may still be only 2 pts off safety with 5 to go, draw and we could be a single point off.
A win is of vital importance, but it is not a ''must win''. |  |

I was a bit worried about Routs saying in the press that the Watford game is almost bigger than a Cup Final.
We need our players to be calm, focussed and on top of their game.
Piling pressure on themselves for one match is not a good idea imho. |  |

It's a two way statement for me.
1. It's piles pressure on as you said.
2. Maybe the overpaid twerps will turn up and put some effort in. [Post edited 12 Apr 2017 20:45]

I understand what you mean but different people can be motivated in completely different ways anyway and part of good man management is being able to recognise who requires what. Some respond well to a right royal b*llocking whereas others respond better to an arm round the shoulder and a quiet word of encouragement. It's never a one size fits all. |  | | |

True, but unfortunately, in football, the rewards for abject failure are still more than 99% of normal people get paid. Including his pay-off, how much did Bob Bradley earn for 11 weeks work? Sorry, I mean how much did he get paid - he didn't earn anything. | | | |

While I'm sure players sacrifice a lot in order to become professional at the highest level, I struggle to think of any other industry where so much can be gained in return for so little effort.
That's the perception anyway. | | | |

Yeh. Good points that I agree with. Loyal's as well. I just feel the players should keep schtum and not go running to the press before a game. For me it puts pressure on the team. Rangel and a few others used to do it and it often ended in tears. [Post edited 12 Apr 2017 22:39]

Everyone who has watched football for more than five minutes knows that the term "must win game" does not literally mean must win.
It refers to a game where the consequences of not winning on morale and momentum (lack of) are such that failure to win this game will be more acute than the statistical failure to get three points.
Pedants need not respond. We all know it's not literally a must win game. |  |

I would have thought the majority of the Watford players will be too busy thinking of a beach in Dubai right now. They're pretty much safe so they're jobs are done for the season, at least i am hoping this is the case. As for our boys, there's no excuses now, no more 'next games are cup final' BS. We need results, we need performances, we need leaders to step up and take the game to Watford. I won't be happy with another Leroy Fer article, or not good enough Paul Clement press conference. |  | | |

Yep, annoying isn't it? After we beat Burnley I was looking at Watford, Burnley, West Ham, Bournemouth, Stoke as teams we could potentially catch. Hell even when we were ahead against Spurs it looked possible. Now they're all miles away from us, although at least Watford & Stoke are safe and won't have anything to play for. And then I remembered that Hull are playing those two next as well  |  | | |
