Watford have not won away from home until today with their current manager yet they looked twice the team Burnley are especially in the second half. We are a team bereft of ideas,no passing skill,no finishing skill,no quality whatsoever in the final third and some players who are so obviously not PL standard.Hendrick,Westwood,Lennon and even Woods are looking Championship players at best.
We have not recruited and we look much worse than the team we started last season with.The blame for this lies firmly with the board.I am sure the excuses about playing in the Europa League will be voiced but they knew that 4 months ago and have done nothing to counter it.
It is going to be a long season.

Could not agree more. We have not added any creativity in Midfield particularly. Defensive additions look fine. However going forward with pace is our big issue and oh how we miss a real passing playermaker!! I do think a much much harder session is in store for us than last years; which to be fair was about as good as it could get for us as a small club in a very big expensive pond.

I make you correct CIB, no other offerings from other posters yet, are they in shock, or seeing the truth ?

It was obvious to me after the Europa League games and the Southampton game.We are going to find it very difficult to score and if you cant do that then you will struggle to win games and score points.

Well what a complete load of rubbish. We were played off the park by a Watford team who had the intent to win the game, unlike BFC who had no intent at all. The result of playing 1 upfront allowed Watford to go four upfront and our back line just could not cope, We were sliced open numerous times. Then to add insult to injury we substituted Wood for Barnes and Taylor for Ward as we remained 1 upfront and only in the last 15 mins did we switched to two upfront by which time the game was long gone. Talk about negativity that is all we brought to the table today. In addition SD showed his loyalty to Lennon who had no influence in the game whatsoever and only made passes backward. The team had no get up and go, second to the ball no snap in the tackle. If this is the standard we are going to witness at home for this season it will be a long boring season. I fear for our position in the Premier. It wont take very long for the knives to be out as a result of a lack of investment in the squad. The whole team was absolutely woeful. After saying all that I will still be on the Turf every game come what may.
