Watford boss Gianfranco Zola says there are two things about tonight's match against Wolves that he doesn't like.

"One is that Wolves are struggling," he said. "And the second one is that they have quality in the team."

Wolves are winless in their last 11 matches and have sunk to 22nd in the Championship, two points afrift from safety.

Watford meanwhile are currently the form team in the division having won their last three games on the bounce and only lost one in their last nine.

But Zola is wary of his opponents and insists the Hornets will have to be at their best to take all three points.

He said: "We know it is a very dangerous game and so we are going to have to play at our best if we want to win.

"The players certainly know how important tomorrow is but also Wolves will think that too so we will have to do very well, much better than them if we want to win."

Playing on a Friday night gives Watford a headstart on their rivals this weekend and Zola is hoping that with a win under their belts, his players will be able to enjoy a more comfortable Saturday afternoon.

"It depends on what we do tomorrow," he joked.

"But yes, playing first gives us an opportunity to sit comfortably on Saturday and enjoy it."

On another subject, I see they are moving the family stand st holders around the ground for the Cardiff game to make way for unreserved seating in the vr end. People who sit elsewhere will be able to move over to that end at some point.... Sounds like we are going for it and trying out the unreserved seating thing. So anyone with a voice that wants to sing their hearts out for watford fc....get yourselves a ticket for the vr end for the Cardiff game and let's show some passion! (Starting to feel like Delia)

This is a really mahusive challenge. It looks easy but inside you might find a yellow, tubular fruit.

I'm going to have £160 on at 5\4 to hopefully pay for some flights to Ireland for JJs stag do, but it will be squeaky bum time if not ahead by half time.

WE need more otters!

It'll be a tough one.

If we can take five or six points from the three games coming up this week, that'd be superb.

Things I don't like in the game Went to Lu*on yesterday and turned into Kennelworth Road. Went up to turnround and came to the ground. What a dump!! Been before but it really does suit being a non league Club. Its a mess. The fans and the Stadium deserve each other.

Does anyone know a pub near Wendover that will be showing the Wolves match?
If not, where's the best place to go in Watford please?
