Marriot Ram99 Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Cocus a ducking clown had enough of him now, if we finish higher than 15th this season it will be a miracle. He makes Garry Rowett look like ducking Guardiola, we can't create anything. 2 goals in 5 games 2 ducking goals, Wycombe would be embarrassed with that.

Mel hasn’t had much luck has he. My answer would be to play a more fast paced game with less emphasis on possession for possession sake. I feel sorry for Cocu and what he was dealt with last year but he doesn’t appear to do himself any favours with a laboured, laborious style of play that, in my opinion, won’t work in the championship. I would be very interested in Paul Cook if It was my choice. It would be a gamble but he could end up being our Chris Wilder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jono Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Why why do commentators all come from Hertfordshire and sound like anything North of the M25 is a team of plucky also rans, mill workers, and grimes grudges. Jeez it was Watford FM That was an ok game of footy from two well matched teams lacking a star but for one golden moment. If you’d only had audio you’d have thought it was Spondon colts V Barca Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Scarlet Pimpernel Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Absolutely nothing between the two teams. Could have gone either way tonight. I am encouraged that when we get our attacking threat back and functioning we will be OK. UTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finch Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Football is basically a simple game that Cocu's tactics make it look absurdly difficult. It will end badly if he can't see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest after the Rooney / Gregory story I think it’s very difficult for Cocu. I think Watford have a better squad than Derby and we have not recruited the Forward players we require in the window. It’s not too late for Cocu but he’s running out of time I suspect . I wanted him to stay because continuity is important but the pressure is almost too much for him I believe. I hope he gets time from MM but the Chairman is the man with the money not me so ultimately it will be his decisions that count. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you’d only had audio you’d have thought it was Spondon colts V Barca Everything you need to know is in how the two penalty shouts were viewed. Pretty identical but the commentators could twist the narrative to one being a penalty (Watford) and another not (Derby). I don’t want to be pro RamsTV, but sometimes Sky Sports is a hard watch. They seem immune to the idea a game can just be ok with two teams cancelling each other out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's learning more defensively all the time and offers a fair amount going the other way too. Really happy with how he's progressing this season. He’s got a lot better in the air, real outlet from goal kicks. Very impresssed with him. I’d like to return to a back 4 Tuesday night mind, so hope he copes better than against Blackburn. With Clarke next to him rather than an out of position Wisdom, he should find it easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falconram Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Firstly tonight a draw would have been right but a worldie won it, that's how it goes . Secondly folks can complain about Cocu until the cows come home but until the injured players or players who are not fit this is what you are going to get, give the bloke a rest. Judge him when Bielk,Waghorn,Ibe, Sibley, the pole are fit. We have so little in the final third with what we have available and we have to take a chance when we manage to create one. If we are still in this position when all fit players are playing then It maybe time until then it's going to be like this for a few more weeks.

Jourdan Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 The Huddersfield game will tell us all we need to know about Cocu and the team moving forward. What we’ve tried in the past two games was obviously with the strong opposition in mind and stopping the rot in mind. For 75 minutes, it worked tonight. We were undone by a moment of quality but otherwise did Watford look like scoring? They looked beyond average. Both keepers could have got their pyjamas on and taken a nap, by and large. Rooney takes the simplest of chances, it ends 1-1, and we would have looked back at 4 points well earned in troubled times. Obviously that didn’t happen. There will be no justification for a performance like that v Huddersfield. If we don’t see a massive improvement, a more positive, more exciting and braver approach, as well as a positive result midweek, it’s looking like Cocu will need to produce something special against Forest to have any hope of saving his job. If it ends up being 6 defeats in 7 as is fairly possible, I don’t see any Championship manager surviving that kind of start to the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
