Will be ok as long as Hourihane comes up to scratch today...his free kicks are winners when he is on form...
They are suggesting the dip in their performances have come since the players stopped taking the knee - that it has maybe caused some discord in the squad........
I've just had a look at Watford's final few fixtures. Extremely tough ! Norwich v Watford Watford v Millwall Brentford v Watford Watford v Swansea That's quite a tough end to the season for them.
Oh, that’s a tough set of games there. Autos might come down to the last game of the season, for both sides.
We've just got to stay as close to them as possible, as when we get to those last few matches quite a few points could well be dropped there.
