Matchday Thread Watford V PNE | 25.11.25 | KO: 7.45pm I Championship

[JK]

 

[Warton PNE]

Bit of a free hit this for me.

With the injuries and suspensions we have anything more than 0 points will be a bonus.

Need to keep Louza quiet but that is easier said than done.

 

[Mortis]

Down in London yesterday for an event , so work in and around London today and off to Watford tonight , I’m expecting nothing from tonight but you never know 👍 COYW

 

[bloaty head]

Smith hat trick today, Mads and Thor with the assists

(2-0 Watford, 0.03xg from Preston)

 

[OB1]

Think we’ll get hammered here. Watford are very good at home and will completely overrun our midfield

 

[Bobbage]

A classic PNE week.

Get dicked when we're in form and the favourites at home against some local shite in a big game, then when we're chronically short of players in midfield against a very good team who are strongest in the middle of the pitch it'll all randomly click and we'll come away with a 0-3 victory.

I’m erring more towards the OB viewpoint!

Fates have conspired against us here. It could be a long old night. Hoping for something unusual to happen, like their goalie getting sent off early on.

Don't you mean BOTH goalies?

 

[Izanohair]

Will be on a plane back to Spain when the match kicks off. Possibly a good thing that I don’t have to watch it.

 

[Yoowell]

It’s certainly not a night for playing it out from the back. They’re going to have lots of possession so I’d be looking at the quick breakaways as a big part of the plan.

Aye, that's probably all we can do. Expectations are for zero points here, anything we get is a bonus.

 

[Walmer88]

Would take a draw given the circumstances, as long as they put in a shift, we can’t ask for much more.

 

[SoccerHQ]

Watford are priced at evens to win this at most bookies so that's a good value price considering all the selection issues.

Smith will surely be rested here and you have to think Jebbison will be motivated big time after his failed loan there last season and their fans will give him endless stick.

 

[LostinSpace]

I'm still shell shocked after Friday, not because of the result but because of our performance. Our team was good enough on paper but we never really seemed up for it. To get anything out of tonight we need a big shift in attitude. I hate to say it but I fear for the worse.

 

[Edinburghwhite]

Players need to remember not to headbutt anyones boot in Watfords penalty box. It'll be a straight red this season 😉

 

[Seamustasmania]

Golf will Interfere again .. have to leave home at half time hopefully , as I’ll have it on my phone live, I’ll be shouting Goal!!! Instead of Fore .. sadly I’m not confident at all on this

Golf clashing with a night game? 😂

Presumably you live overseas?

 

[SF]

Could be one of those games, when every single North End fan expects us to lose comfortably, and we grind out a win. Like Norwich away under Lowe.

It's very fucking unlikely though.

 

[cragtek]

Think PH will set up for a draw here. Expecting the entertainment value to be low, but I live in hope. Hard to look past the injuries.
