I think we are well capable of winning but our performances against them last season are

"a concern."

I don't think we did ourselves justice in either game and we don't cope well with Sarr. Its hard to say whether thats because we just didn;t play well or there is something inherent in how Watford play which we can;t cope with. I suppose this game is the first test of whether we have added the extra pace and physicality we need to be competitive with the bottom half teams.

Personally i think if we play really well then they will be chasing shadows and we can beat them but i've not actually seen watford play this season so i have no idea if they are better or worse than last season. Their last few results have not been great.
