Team for Watford (h)

[ImReadingTillIDie]

Sadly haven't been able to go to a game yet so only seen the highlights. Should we stick with the same team that wet to Bolton?

[Rfc1987]

No. Akins has a number of options and tactical plans for each game. He saw bolton as our first big away challenge so he set up a fluent but also strong solid team using blackman as the big target man. This game is at home and even know it will be our toughest test we will need to go out and try to win this. I can see us starting the same team that played against leicester except maybe williams coming in and hopefully marriapa.

my bad morning head *ipswich

[Sanguine]

I'd like to see Williams and ALF start, please.

[maffff]

I'd be happy with

-----------McCarthy-----------
Gunter-Morro-Pearce-Bridge
-------Williams+-Guthrie------
-HRK------Drenthe-McCleary-*
-----------Blackman#-----------

* dynamic positions. Happy for McAnuff in over HRK right now
+ expect to see Karacan
# wouldn't be shocked to see ALF start.

McCarthy, Gunter, Morro, Pearce, Bridge, Guthrie, Drenthe appear to be the guaranteed starters right now.

[imHobb]

---------------McCarthy
Gunter-Morrison-Mariappa-Bridge
-----------Guthrie-Williams
-McCleary----Drenthe------HRK
--------------Le Fondre

[Pepe the Horseman]

Assuming Mariappa isn't going to play, I'd go:

McCarthy

Gunter
Morrison
Pearce
Bridge

Williams
Karacan
Guthrie

McCleary
Drenthe
Alf

[URZZZZ]

Mccarthy
Gunter
Morro
Pearce
Bridge
Jem
Guthrie
Williams
Drenthe
Kebe
Pog

If Kebe is injured then Mccleary

Bench: Fed, Kelly, Mapps, Akpan, Mccleary,Jobi and Alf
No place for Blackman and HRK which shows that our squad is very good

[melonhead]

Mccarthy
kelly
Morro
Pearce
Bridge
Guthrie
Williams
Jobi
Drenthe
Kebe
Pog

If Kebe is injured then Mccleary

[sandman]

Federici

Kelly
Pearce
Mariappa
Bridge

McCleary
McAnuff
Karacan
Guthrie
Drenthe

Alf

Subs: Taylor, Cummings, Morrison, Akpan, HRK, Blackman, Pogrebnyak

What he'll go with is same as last week with maybe Alf in place of Blackman and HRK instead of Jobi.

[bassavage]

For as poor as he was 1st half on Saturday, Blackman looked liked a completely different player after his pen. Hopefully that was the confidence booster he needed.

Personally would go for same team as Bolton.

[littlejohnnyoster]

Assuming Mariappa isn't going to play, I'd go:

McCarthy

Gunter
Morrison
Pearce
Bridge

Williams
Karacan
Guthrie

McCleary
Drenthe
Alf

Yes and Yes. Having an extra man in the middle made the difference against Ipswich. Big man like Williams will give ALF more natural support rather than trying to stick a winger in the middle.

[Alan Partridge]

Hammond

Booty
McPherson
Primus
Swales

Meaker
Caskey
Parkinson
Lambert

Morley
Asaba

[MouldyRoyal]

I'd be surprised if Williams starts as he is away with USA! USA!! USA!!! all week. Since Guthrie and Karacan are training together, expect that pairing to start once more.

[Royalee]

McCarthy

Bridge
Pearce
Morrison
Gunter

Karacan
Guthrie

Drenthe
Williams
McCleary

Le Fondre

Subs:
Federici
Kelly
Mariappa
Robson-Kanu
McAnuff
Blackman
Pogrebnyak

[BraisingsteakRoyal]

---------------McCarthy
Kelly -------Morrison -------Marriapa -------Bridge
Drenthe ----Williams ---- Guthrie ----- McCleary
Blackman ALF/Pog

[BenSmith91]

Alex Mac

Gunter
Morro
Pearce
Bridge

McCleary
Karacan
Guthrie
Jobi Mac

Drenthe

Blackman

[BenSmith91]

Haven't actually seen the team play yet this season, but wouldn't mind seeing either Akpan or Williams play alongside Guthrie. Some people don't seem entirely convinced by Karacan

[urz13]

McCarthy

Kelly
Morrison
Mariappa
Bridge

Guthrie
Karacan

McCleary
Drenthe
McAnuff

ALF

Subs: Feds, Pearce, Gunter, Williams, HRK, Blackman, Ugwu

I'm expecting to see an unchanged line up from Bolton however, with Ugwu perhaps making the bench

[LightwaterRoyal]

------------------McCarthy----------------
Gunter-------Morrison------Pearce------Bridge
-----------Guthrie---------------Karacan----------
McCleary-----------Blackman-------------Drenthe
-----------------------Alfie-------------------------

I expect one of Ugwu and Samuel to make the bench.

On a side note my friends St. Bernard called Alfie just got the snip, good or bad omen?
