Watford v QPR **match thread**

[acricketer]

If we can't score against the side with worst form over the last 6 games on New Year's Day then we are looking at the playoffs at best.

I wasn't wrong a few games ago when I asked is it time to worry?

We still need to create more chances, nothings changed.

Unfortunately, with each passing game, Redknapp is continuing to prove he simply hasn't got it anymore. I have to say that I've not seen a worse side than Watford all season, I'm truly shocked at how bad they are. Yet we still couldn't create any real problems, preferring to play lazy, ineffective passes all afternoon. The usual, tedious and boring rubbish we have been producing all season. The one thing we are though, is consistent.

i just don't understand why we are incapable at playing at high tempo for long periods to break the opposition down these are suppose to be PL players they should be forcing championship players into making mistakes

So predictable , Carroll is a hinderance not an asset he slows the pace of the game down and leaves large gaps between the midfield and the forward line. We don't close down quick enough and give the ball away easily after long periods of possession.

The opposition are happy to let us **** about with the ball in non dangerous areas of the pitch, we spend 90% of our time playing the ball across the midfield and out to the wings where our crosses end up being cleared easily. There's no tactics's , no plan to play to the oppositions weaknesses , are we watching our rivals? We play 5 in the middle and dominate possession but that does not win you matches , we are toothless without Charlie Austin and unless Redknapp sorts it out starting on New Years Day we will slip down to mid table.

I agree with a lot of this but I don't think we are as broken as some think, definitely need another goal scoring striker but it's not like we have problems all over the pitch!

Swap Cesar for Nicolas Bednter, Johnson and Zamora are passed it.

as i said in a previous thread Derby are the team to watch leicster and derby will go up we will be in the play off if we get lucky !!

Agree 100%. We have no answer to teams which know how to play us. Another stalemate, another waste of time.

Judging by TF's tweet bringing in help at forward is exactly what the club has planned when the transfer window opens!

Its almost like he doesn't care , like its all too much effort of him to drive us forward and challenge for the title…we won't make the Play Offs at this rate.

His record will look respectable at QPR but its a different story on the pitch. Redkanpp does not want to take any risks, he works on the assumption that we have enough quality to get results without stretching ourselves and leaving our defence exposed. We have absolutely no urgency and that is the managers personality personified. Our 2 best signings Austin and Phillips are hungry and want to drive us forward but are being held back but 'possession football'.

I've no doubt Carroll needs to go back to Spurs, he is the one player who sum's our play up more than any other. Get rid off Carroll and bring Taraabt back as he is the answer, we lack goals and creativity its about time some admitted that on here and at QPR.

TF on Twitter: "We got a great squad. Dominated play today. We don't need to do much business. Maybe one player. Just for the record."

playoffs lucky?...i think i'd rather finish 7th if i can't finish 1 or 2

Well that'll please the anti TF fans who think he spends too much. Looks like they'll get their wish, we continue with BZ and all the others they love to hate....Cue the "why didn't we buy in jan" posts when we finish outside the top 6.
I've said many times we are very lucky to have him in control, but maybe we'll soon be back to buying our players from Barnsley and Rochdale and Tranmere..... Santos, Cullip brett angell????

Agree with all of that mate. Never wanted him here in the first place and after the monumental mess he made of the second half of last season, I'm surprised we kept him.

Should be thoroughly embarrassed at producing such dross for half a season. He won't be though, it'll be someone else's fault as usual.

Exactly, Derby will finish above us and everyone else fighting for second place.

The way we've been playing we'll drop out the top 6 as well.
