Live on Sky I think?

I think the players will be massively hyped for this after Saturday's disappointment. They will want to show the world that we are deserved champions.

Assume Quintilla or Sorenson in at lb for the (wrongfully) banned Giannoulis.

Presser :-

Farke hoping Hanley is okay, late calls on Pukki and Cantwell.

They have appealed Giannoilis' red card but he will miss game anyway

Giannoulis' red card appealed failed and he misses the next 3 games. Booooo.

I think Farke will have them up for it. Tonight they had to patch up 3 or 4 players hoping we could get a result, and then rest after. Emi hardly got in the game was the main issue. And as for Quintilla, jeez, assar (or whatever his name is) absolutely had him on toast! I think we'll win Saturday and take a point from one of the last two games, and that will be enough.

Lets face it, as much as we want the title, the job is already done, we're promoted.

Not surprised. Had that feeling about it following the disappoint against Bournemouth up against a very strong side with more to play for than us. They wanted that auto promotion slot more than we wanted to win the league.

Quintilla was clearly struggling against Sarr but there were only really half hearted attempts to help him out. Little bit disappointing.

And I think this game showed we need to be stronger in the middle next season - McLean and Skipp (if he's here) isn't going to be the answer at that level.

We're also going to need a bit more than Hernandez and Placheta coming off the bench.

That was crap. No midfield support for the defence, Dowell and Pukki were sadly missed, why weren't they on the pitch? Cantwell jumping over the ball a few times, when it comes off, it's good, but needs to be aware of where his team mates are. Vrancic? pah. Krul and Hanley gave it a real good go. No excuse for that performance from a few

I think Farke will have them up for it on Saturday.

It has been a long season, players are tired, most of that team played nearly 70 minutes with 10 men on Saturday, with lots carrying knocks, and at least 3 were patched up for the game last night. Plus really, it is job done, we are promoted, so it is human nature to maybe dial things down a bit. And at the end of the day, Watford are a good side, and they just needed the points a bit more than we did. I think we will still win the league.

Have said before that these two are not PL standard. Contrary to a lot of others I'm not convinced by Skipp in the PL either. In the Championship, excellent, but in the unlikely event he was here next season, I do wonder how good he'd be in a side that might well be having more of a hard time.

Indeed. I've said similar elsewhere.

Skipp couldn't have come into a better situation. He has, of course, been a big part of the success this season but he's come into a strong setup with every chance of success at this level.

He found it a little bit harder going last night against a side that are much closer to Prem level than the majority of the league.
