THE OPPOSITION VIEW - West Bromwich Albion (Home)

The window closes and we fail to sign a right wing back - the position that has been apparent since we bought in ROb Edwards and missed out on Kane Wilson, Ethan Laird and a host of other seemingly available affordable home grown players. But - and as always with Pete - it's a BIG butt! We keep Sarr and Joao Pedro, we have Kamara, we have Hause and Choudhury and Davis (if he is ever fit) and Louza is coming back and we are in the Championship - so maybe anything is possible. So, as always with Watford, its not perfect but it's always perfectly Watford and for now that will have to do. COYH! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices Hosted on Acast.

So the centenary of the first game at the Vic. Fireworks, former players but a false start. JP had an exceptional game and one hopes that it was not for the scouts as we are 48 hours from the close of the transfer window. So a goal in the last minute to win is a tonic, just what the doctor ordered after QPR on Saturday, but whilst happy we acknowledge that there is still a certain element of "papering over the cracks" with the last minute winner and we discuss the good, the bad and the Bayo!

Once again we fail to come up with a opposition representative but instead we study the potted unofficial history of Middlesbrough Football Club and make our predictions anyway. We talk a bit about the QPR game, the transfer window, great games vs Boro, the gaps in midfield and defence, Justin has flashbacks of last season, taekwondo, lager vs real ale and we learn more about stillage than is really helpful.

Are QPR a local rival, for some there is clearly a lot of animosity it seems. So, after going behind three times in a game when defending seemed preferred but by no means essential the Hornets finally succumbed to their first league defeat of the season. It has been a hard week for Rob Edwards and you hope with the 100 years of the Vic game v Boro and the transfer window closing he has a better one this week!! In the meantime we talk about the land of Uncle Ron and whether you need to be sleep deprived to visit and how many Calypo's could you buy with the £16m fee for the sale of Kamara and whether playing in a back 3 or 4 is good when he goes forward a lot!.

As the transfer window counts down we suffer a first defeat of the season in the Carabao Cup to MK Dons who were well worth there win. Should we be alarmed at the performance individually in some cases and collectively overall or is this a symptom of a freshly assembled squad allowing Rob Edwards to see what he has in the rest of the squad? As ever the contributors make the most sense, but even in a week when those pro or anti the current ownership regime have been debating hotly with one another - all here are in support of Rob Edwards and want the hierarchy to support him in what is left of the transfer window and beyond. A bad day at the office but perhaps but we are still unbeaten in the league. Fingers crossed for Saturday vs QPR at the Vic! COYH! Learn more about your ad choices.

RAW AND UNEDITED - So a 0-0 at Deepdale keeps us unbeaten but the story of the day was who was not on the pitch. With offers in for Pedro from Newcastle and Sarr seemingly being courted by Crystal Palace and Leeds - the fact that neither player appeared on the team sheet was a notable discussion point. We had regular contributors and some fresh voices appear on the pod and just as Adam Leventhal came on fresh from a press conference to talk to Vinnie, from the US, who he had previously met on a train to Anfield (!) - the first announcements started emerging about a fee being agreed for Sarr to go Villa Park. Lots of incoming fees then potentially meaning the questions will be about where and on whom do we spend some of it? COYH! Learn more about your ad choices.
