Out of interest, given the high ticket sales, how many people from this site are going tomorrow ?

Boz, as mentioned they have confirmed this on their website and commented that the starting eleven will be wrapped in cotton wool after their festive exertions. I don't see why they would bother with "mind games" against a struggling L1 outfit.
I still think the second part of my sentence holds.

I'm not going tomorrow, sadly not made an away game this season. Will definitely do the league game at Wycombe one or two others if I can get tickets.

Teams like Watford rely on FA cup glory as it’s their most realistic trophy route so I suspect they’ll load the bench! If played, why do I get the feeling CBT on a decent pitch with a bit of a spotlight may shine?

Sadly, I have decided not to go as my wife is ill. Nothing serious, but we've a few things on this weekend. However, I hope to make it to the six-pointer at Roots Hall next weekend.

I am getting a bit more relaxed about tomorrow. If Watford play a weakened team and Micky persuades the likes of CBT and Ferrier to show the cameras what they can do, then it may be interesting. The key thing is not to concede early and to still be in the game at half-time.

Quite possibly; I'm sure that they will still be favourites to win. I won't be there either, unfortunately. Hopefully we can get a foothold in the game, though, and the SWA do us proud.

So, an early solo CBT goal after which we keep a clean sheet despite the big guns coming on and putting us under immense pressure. Might be worth a few bob … or pigs may fly!

If they are not up for this match, they won’t be up for any. Pros should not need any motivation to play on a premier league ground.

As a point of interest, what would you all prefer - a win today or a win next Saturday? Thinking about it, I’d probably take today with all the positive publicity and the guaranteed extra cash. We could then invest some cash in a couple of decent players to help us in the league.

That's a tough call BBTC. Think we need to get something out of the Southend game,as losing there could help kick-start their season. There are advantages of a win today though, particularly if we were to get a decent draw in the next round.

Clarke starts in what looks like a 3-5-2 with manny and Nelson alongside. Assume Morris wing back again with CJ behind Morgan and the recalled Stefan Payne.

Yes, looks like 352 and a more solid side than expected. Gilmour back on the bench which is good to see.

Interesting team selection. Good that Manny returns to the defence and that Gilmour is on the bench. No rotation in central midfield, with Potter not even on the bench and that could be our weak spot.

Essentially a second string Watford side with no big names on the bench. Watford win by no means a given.

I think it looks a sensible line up. Three men in midfield and some assistance for Ferrier so he does not get too isolated.
