europia Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 6 hours ago, MACKWORTHRAM said: Absolutely agree with this. First two games his touch and decision making has been poor. I said in the summer that I think CBT is the one we see as the replacement and the chance to rotate NML. But obviously that hasn't worked out as of yet. Oh yes, CBT, thanks for the reminder. I'd almost forgotten he was a member of the squad..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McArthur Park Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 Looking forward to the trip tomorrow. Does anyone remember walking through the allotments to get to Vicarage Road? I was sad to see they're no longer there, it's the only thing I remember about my previous visit some thirty years ago!

Crewton Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 Watford truly is a sh*thole. The only notable thing about it is the chippy we'd always get stuff from after the game and the knowledge that London was only a half hour train ride away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's been pretty poor in the first couple of games and I hope we're not having to rely on him as much as we did last season. The blokes been playing virtually all summer internationally and also getting very little rest time in the Balearics ... what with his phone slapping etc .. also hes the captain .. he will come good no doubt and unlikely to be rested just yet ... expect a future "niggle" will keep him out of a couple of whatever Warne deems the more winnable games .

He's not really mate. He played two games. His last one being 8th June. They played Argentina on the 15th June and NML didn't play. We came back for training a month later. He's had plenty of rest time. Can't really use the fact he played 2 games in early June as an excuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a bit biased here as don't live too far away. It's got some great independent restaurants, brilliant old theatre, fairly decent shops if needed. I've been to far worse places. 1967Ram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There could well be tactical positioning etc etc .. 10 games in we can make a better judgement . I believe he is a crucial player this season and will provide plenty of vital contributions.

mwram1973 Posted August 24 Share Posted August 24 Think we'll just park the bus today and hopefully hit them on the break. For me a draw would be an amazing result with how they have started. Will be watching this one from behind the sofa 😕 Caerphilly Ram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinder Posted August 24 Share Posted August 24 6 minutes ago, Topram said: Osborn is a massive miss Is he definitely out? We’ll probably bring in Ebou if so, although Thommo would be more of a direct replacement for Osborn. I can see the attraction of two sitting midfielders though, make us as solid as possible.

Will Hughes Hair Posted August 24 Share Posted August 24 I seem to remember both Cashin and NML both starting slowly last year. I’m guessing something in their physiology means it takes longer for their legs to come back to them after preseason than others rather than it being ‘heads turned’ or international commitments. Both are going to play key roles over the season. RadioactiveWaste 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprisingly, I've never been interested in any of those facilities when going to Vicarage Road for a Rams game 😉 I was judging it more on the distinct lack of decent pubs that sell the stuff I'm interested in drinking at an away match. Personal perhaps, but for that and other reasons, it doesn't rank highly on my list of great away day locations. Obviously, being in the south-east it's going to have sufficient local wealth to support the kind of businesses you mentioned. ariotofmyown 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
