Match Thread Watford v Everton - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

[allen]

Are these not a mix of games that were rearranged? If so it’ll be because those games were set for tv initially.

Yeah, I'm sure that's it.

I even bothered to check Prime, but it looks like it's back to the murky waterways.

Talk of 7,000 blues in the stadium

Big opportunity for another win on the road this. We simply have to turn up.

Anyone else find the fan power at present a bit bittersweet?

Great to see the atmosphere/greeting the team bus at FF etc but why haven't we been doing this in big games like Cup Quarters/Semi finals/Derby games?

Feels like once we are safe we'll go back to being groaners who dont want to do anything without looking like Kopites.

The commitment from the fans has been absolutely awesome. However realistically how can we keep it up. Work/family/fishing with Hibbo ?

Eventually it'll fall back to the team to produce the goods. What them lot do on the other side is down to them.

Just watched the Roy Hodgson pre-match chat and Watford have 6 injuries from the Palace game.

Please don't get turned over by Watfords U12's Everton...

Yes agree, remember the toxic atmosphere few weeks earlier, loosing to Burnley and falling into bottom 3 had the opposite effect to most teams so all credit to fans and team for responding

This might be the catalyst for more fan power. But I think it's harsh to suggest the fans don't to their bit generally. We have one of the best away followings in country and we sell out each home game. There's only so much you can do. The players need to step up, Goodison won't be bouncing for every game. It's just how it is, and that's not just an Efc thing either.

We haven’t kept a clean sheet away from home since the Brighton win in August, so in all likelihood we’ll concede at some point. Just need to make sure that when (if) we do, we can respond appropriately. Hopefully we’re 4-0 up by the time they score.

 

[Ron Swanson]

3-0 to us.

 

[Lobster Johnson]

I guess that's why they call it the blues...
