windermereROYAL Watford v Sheff utd is truly abysmal, only one weekend I know but christ the bar don`t look very high so far.


Yeah it’s pretty terrible fare.


Just brightened up with Sheffields pure comedy at the back at defending a counter attack.

Watford break awful pass followed by dreadful defending. Goal.

SU look like a pub side.

That back line of SU's looked familiar, at Blackpool we were also narrow with a shedload of space down the side in the first few minutes.
On the plus side we have gone up a place in the table :lol:

Hudders getting pumped by Brum tonight

Very worrying signs for them. Awful stats again

Remind me of us back in 2017 after our PO final defeat to them.

Get the feeling they will do well to avoid the drop this season, can't see them finishing higher than 19th to be honest.

Blackburn have started well, next home game under the lights could be tasty.

That sounds very odd
The rugby was sevens, so pretty much just people running on the pitch, no scrums, mauls, line outs that churn the pitch.
Their pitch is a rugby pitch anyway, so presumably designed for intense use.
I bet you they laid a new pitch this summer and used it too soon ….

Having read the report it says it was due to be relaid but wasn’t, so an already knackered pitch: didn’t we not relay ours one summer and it was awful the next season

Got off to a flyer last year too before fading. Could be the wrong time to play them.

Might work in our favour as Rotherham have had a disjointed start to the campaign. May end up playing a strong side in midweek now.

I’d read they’d also had other events like concerts on there too so that has probably help knacker it too.

Trouble with being tenants in someone else’s ground.
Is it possible forCoventry to be promoted to the PL ?
