Genuinely one of the most bizarre posts I’ve ever seen on here. 

It's not like there's a lack of competition either

Got to say this seems a really odd choice.

Conway, Scott & Bell were all eligible, weren’t they?

I think it's u-21 player of the year as opposed to first team young player of the year

He must be frustrated with his teammates. In addition to the above, several good runs made that went completely unnoticed. 

Mum says it's my turn to be the next Watford manager

Yes, and only the first part is accurate.

I think he'll go on to be a very good player at this level. He seems to have the attitude and intelligence, it's the confidence and experience that he is gaining that will help him push on.

I was going to delete that post but forgot - I counted 12 in your team (counted Taylor-Clarke as two) after a quick scan 

 

Taylor and Clarke as the midfield might leave us a bit light.

What happens if I lose, break or change my phone during the year? 

£10 charge for losing your season ticket 

The club have gone out of their way to solve a problem that many fans have mentioned. 

Not enough shirt stock in the shop at Christmas? Problem solved!

48 points with ten games left. Anyone still think we`re in a dogfight?

If we get relegated from this position we absolutely deserve it.

We don't have much choice right now.

We don't have much choice in that he has to start, but leaving him out there for another 90mins just puts us at risk of losing another player to injury.

I think you might see Taylor-Clark come on for him, but I would be surprised if King didn't start. 

I think you're right, and even if Pearson doesn't think it is quite the right time, I don't think he has much choice. 

King isn't going to get through another 90 minutes, is he?

Who are the next players coming through the academy and are any of them likely to be able to fill some sort of role in the squad?

Change of shape ?

King in as CB and go 3-4-1-2 or 3-5-2

Or King & James as CMF and we go 4-2-1-3 or simaler to how we have been lately.

King must be in midfield either way. 

Either 3-5-2  with a back three of Tanner Vyner Pring or a back four with the same plus Dasilva

I’m very tempted to say that that is as close to mumbo jumbo as I’ve seen on here - but I won’t………..

I'm pleased we have so many good players coming through the academy. 

I'm also pleased we're not holding up the careers of players who have not broken through into the first team. 

I'm sure we'll miss one or two this way, but we also won't be stockpiling players who aren't going to make the cut.

He’s got nobody near him to pass to. Tanner is a mile away and nobody is free in midfield.

Absolutely. They give him the ball and then all **** off, not his fault at all.

Free scarves tomorrow as well apparently... Apologies if I've missed this being mentioned.

Though that does come from CTID on Facebook, so massive pinch of salt!

Half and half ones

If Kalas stays (a big IF), Vyner will be in the extraordinary position of winning Player of the Year and then not being a first choice the following season. 

I'd have to disagree with this. For me, he's got the shirt, he keeps the shirt. Obviously a lot can change in the close season though. 

It'd certainly be nice to be put into a position where NP has to make these difficult choices though. 

I really hope ZV gets player of the year. He deserves it.

For those of you there - does Max’s pink stand out sufficiently from the red?

Makes no sense to me that you’ve got all the colours in the world to choose from for a keeper shirt, and they pick one similar-ish to red.

I had no problem with picking him out

OTIB loves a good kit meltdown. Two in a season is a nice treat.

I was told the walkway round the stadium is a public right of way when matches are not on and the stadium has no liability for this. When matches are on, the stadium is judged to have full liability for personal injury, trips falls etc.

Ticket holders are covered by the stadiums public liability insurance, non ticket holders are not.

It's another sorry side effect of the 'where there is blame, there is a claim' culture.

The only PROW near the stadium is from the Winterstoke Road roundabout to Raynes Road.
