Predictions vs Watford

Post by tiger76 » Wed Jun 24, 2020 12:17 pm

I can't see an open game, i'll plump for a hard fought 1-1 draw, Vydra to bag again, we'll look more like our normal selves after the City debacle.

This will get us to the magical 40 point mark, and hopefully calm some nerves on here from our more hysterical posters.

This is certainly one of the games we should be picking up a point from after the City game.

0-0.

Tricky one to predict.
Watford will be looking to get a win
and pull them away from the bottom three.
A win for us will virtually guarantee safety.
Even a draw will probably do.

I'm going for 1-1.
That'll do for me.

Boiling hot evening forecast, little quality on show from both teams. 1-1 draw as Watford are a big team and we've lost a couple of our taller players so I see them scoring a set piece..

1-2. Watford are fighting for their lives while I get the feeling we're going to be going through the motions these last few games.

If it was a “ real “ game I’d have us 2-1, 3-1 and comfortable with form we were in . Though with a ultra threadbare squad and a presumably up for it Watford it’s got 0-0 all over it

We’ll lose this I think. 1-3

It’s going to be very warm and we’ve nothing on the bench.

0-2

For Burnley to win we need to be firing on all cylinders as the cup fixtures will tell us.

Dyche's negative vibes won't be doing the team any good.

Looking at the congested fixture list and our depleted squad through injuries and departures we will be hard pressed to get much from our remaining games unless our injured players return and for me we need Wood and Barnes available but looking like Barnes is out for the rest of the season. I think only Brady and Gudmundsson are even training at the moment.
Watford will want the points far more than us tomorrow-so a draw at best but a likely second defeat

There's a far bit to turn round at TM at the moment, I can only see a draw at best.

0-2 loss. This as all other remaining games this season worry the hell out of me! Depleted squad with only Wood among the 'walking wounded' expected to contribute this season. Morale must be at an all time low in the Dyche tenure. I wont rest easy until we're mathematically safe. Hopefully Bardsley's signing may give us a boost, fingers, toes crossed.

with the current situation as it is, I wouldn't mind trying a different formation to compensate for the squad depth.

A 3 5 1 1 formation with Long coming alongside Tarks & Mee, Bardsley & Taylor wide, Brownhill - Cork - Westwood centre midfield with McNeil playing behind Jay or Vydra.

This would allow us to make a forward swop, Pieters & Lowton as wide subs, with a safety net of two other subs if needed.

Therefore a 2-0 win to the Clarets with McNeil bagging a curler from outside the box.

yeah - all too predictable I am afraid, wanted to be wrong when I suggested it would happen on Monday - though the flyover didn't help

thing is the numbers didn't seem that excessive around 450 - 500 theough it may have been the number trying to post at the same time

With all the issues at the club at the moment I’m afraid I’m going for 2/3 - 0 defeat unfortunately. I also think on that slick looking pitch Watford will be a bit to quick and will football us off the park. With the odd punt forward for Big Troy.
Hope I’m wrong COYC!

0-3. With the excuse that they are still traumatised by the events on Monday night. The banner of corse, not the abysmal performance.
