Oppos Views – Watford

A bit about you:

Name:  Gary

Current home town: Watford

Birthplace: Watford General Hospital.

How long have you supported your team? Hmmm. Went to my first game in the late 80's but started going regularly from the start of Taylor's 2nd Spell. 

Overview of your club: Recently changed manager for the 3rd time in 5 season's and have had to sell anything that isn't nailed down to balance the box after chasing a failed dream of instant return to the Premier league. With the Russo's in charge of the good ship WFC we are sailing close to the wind but they are honest with the fans and I'm sure we will return to an even keel in the near future. 

WFC is a family club with the majority of its squad made up of local lads from the Academy. 

Favourite thing about your home ground: My parking space is 10minutes walk from the ground! either that or the derelict East Stand which makes us different!…



Favourite match played by your team & why: 1-0 win at Anfield. http://www.bsad.org/9900/reports/lpool/indexa.html

Why? We beat Liverpool!!! The Mighty Liverpool at Anfield no less. Here i was an 18 year old lad and WFC beat Liverpool the Great Liverpool that me and my mates grew up emulating on the playgrounds. Wasn't the same players but it was Liverpool.

Favourite player of all time who played for your club: Craig Ramage. The Talisman, The playboy, the midfield play maker Craig Ramage could walk on water, play football and smoke a cigar at the same time! http://www.bsad.org/gone/ramage.html

About our forthcoming match against you: We have a highly talented midfield, but a lack of options at the back and a lack of options upfront. Hopefully Malky would have dipped into the loan market by the time we play and if the rumours of Helguson coming home are true then we could be rejuvenated. (editors note, loan confirmed 15th September)

Your favourite current player in your squad and why? Ross Jenkins. Home grown, and technically gifted. Does the simple things well.

Player in your squad we should most fear and why? Tom Cleverly on loan from United and has already shown he is too good for the Championship. 2 goals in 4 games from right midfield. (editors note, we know all about Tom, thanks)

Player in our squad you most fear and why? Matty Fryatt had huge potential at Walsall and players tend not to lose that ability.  Do you still have Stevie Howard the ex scummer? Hopefully he won't score!!!

Up and coming prospect in your squad?  Marvin Sordell another homegrown player who is on the fringes. Scored on his debut in the league Cup this season.

Where do you think you’ll finish this season? I think we will finish mid table which is imperative for our survival. Relegation could destroy us.

How do you think you’ll do against us? If the midfield plays to its potential then we can beat anyone in this division. Assuming Graham and DeMerit are fit then we have a chance.
