“Chris Wood masterpiece incoming!!” @AdamFoskett2
“3 points wrote all over that team #howaythelads #nufc.” @kal_allison
“I’m all over this!! COME ON LADS.” @mgstanley17
“Very happy with this line up to be honest.” @cookiie84
“Oh yes” @Swaglinton
You can see why the fans have reacted how they have. Today is a huge game and could well be season defining for either side.
Watford currently hold a two point advantage over Newcastle and Burnley in the league, but they do have a game in hand over Newcastle. So while a loss today isn’t the end of the world until we know the result of that game in hand. A Newcastle loss could be disastrous.
Even at this stage of the season, you have to be taking points off your rivals, especially in the home clash. This game is the definition of a ‘six-pointer’ with the win pivotal to either side.
