Watford (A) - Sat 13th Feb 15:00 - Matchday thread

[MelksRed]

Place your bets ladies and gentlemen.....

 

Sub at half time or wait until the 60th minute?

[Nugget]

'I think Dean will have to change it at half-time' blimey

[shelts]

Fammy a passenger . We failed to sign anyone in the window and now forced to play Towler who’s come  into a terrible side bereft of any confidence. Holdens fault

Who’s their manager ? Is he any good ? 

He's ******* shite! Best day of a shite 2020 was moving that Brent **** on. 

[Hampshire Red]

The variation is a long ball from Hunt to any one of Watford's defenders.

Xisco and yes it would appear so.

That’s curtains for Deano! There’s absolutely ZERO chance that he’ll be in charge for next game. Those that have been following City a while know when they’re watching the swan-song and believe me, this is it!

£100 says Holden will still be around for the next game... he’ll tear his hamstring on the way out to his car and spend the next 6 months in the medical room.

I lose track, they've had so many.

[Roadrunner]

Look non the bright side season tickets could be cheaper next season.

Lose the word "tactical". There's no sign of that.

It’s literally like playing FIFA as a child. Filling all your midfield slots with attacking midfielders. 
 

I bet Dean Holden’s ultimate team has Neymar at CDM.

[pongo88]

Tinnion says “Dean has got to change it at half time”. You can tell he’s played football

We're not!

As if. A 4 all draw perhaps.

Calm down Ashton told us Holden was the stand out candidate 

Standing outside his office. I think he must have meant.

Losing interest in the club I’ve loved so much since my first match in 1993. It’s quite upsetting.

Same here mate....never thought I'd feel this bad about a team I love

This is why I haven’t posted much since Holden was appointed. Disillusioned doesn’t even begin to describe how I feel about this club and football in general at the moment.

Enjoying caring less, actually.

Same here I haven't posted anywhere near as much as I used to immediately after his appointment. It is the worst  managerial appointment in City's history.

You don't know what managers will work under the current set up or if MA will now accept the set up needs a to change

But do you believe Ashton would admit he was wrong and that he is not qualified to be in charge of all day to day football operations? He's a walking ego.

[RedEyez]

5 minutes ago, Scrumpylegs said:

I expect that swallowing pride and admitting they were wrong is is exactly what they’ll do. I’d imagine they’ll state pretty clearly that an experienced manager is what’s needed now. 

Really hope that’s sarcasm.

I blame everyone who wanted LJ out 

I blame Lansdown for this disgraceful appointment. 

[old_eastender]

Would be really good to see Fammy hauled off and Bell given 45 mins, but Holden won't do that..

[Sarumred]

Will Watford declare at half time?

Replace stand out with the word CHEAPEST

[Clevedon Red]

Started under the previous regime so not a new way of ******* up the game.

[MarcusX]

I'd have kept LJ at the time, but wanting a fresh face doesn't make it their fault. They wanted an experienced manager not Deano

I defended him before today, but this is very much his Tinnion moment. He promised us a turning point, he said he could motivate them. He clearly cant, he has to go now. I dont think he will though

[Ska Junkie]

It's taken us a month to have 4 attempts on goal, let alone on target. I may be on my own but I'm leaning towards the possibility we might lose this one WCD.  

[Slippin cider]

I might put RB on just to hear what they’re saying about this utter shambles!

[Mr Popodopolous]

9 minutes ago, Ska Junkie said:

Even when Holden goes, Ashton will just appoint another pussy. We need a horrible bastard, not a bloody yes man. 

It's hard to say, I see what you mean but modern players, do they respond so well to the 'old school' methods. Can be varied.

This is purely tongue in cheek but maybe there should be 'cash flow' issues in the wage dept brought on by Covid. Hasn't done Derby or Sheffield Wednesday results any harm at all in recent months/weeks!

[RedorDead BCFC]

Thank you Ashton if you employed a shit human we would of been into double figures against now.

You complete and utter cock, do the right thing and f k off out of our club with the management teams tonight please. 

[bcfcchampions2015]

Absolute shambles of a football club - these players and staff should hang their heads in shame.

Mr Lansdown, We the fans have seen this coming for months, why haven’t you??

Dean Holden and coaching staff are so far out of their  depth it’s unbelievable.

Don’t let Steve off of the hook so easily.

He is culpable in all of this. 

I get told off by people for pointing the finger at Steve and Mark Ashton. 100% they are culpable. When a bloke tells me it's his club then I judge HIM on the performance of it.

[City_USA]

Oh to be a fly on the wall in our changing room right now.
