Actually think we will find we are going to play three across back as we did on Tuesday with Pudil in a more attacking position only going to a four for defensive set pieces.

Jeez. How predictable was that. Two headers in first half, and really GZ can't honestly fancy Dicko can he? Most disappointing, esp after last 20 on Tuesday evening as well. Work in progress I suppose, but pray we don't get a real drubbing.

We are Serie B soon to be Serie C at this rate. Where has the heart gone out of our club? Just hope that given time things can get better. A tad bit cheesed off at the moment. We were great in the first hal against Brum. Yet some new signings, such as Hall, that we acquired are not even fit . Why did Tiny decide to go? Must be a poor dressing room atmosphere by now.

Could have predicted this having seen the team sheet. Should be an interesting half time team talk, let's see what Zola's made of. Let's hope it's steel not blancmange!

I will probably be slaughtered for saying this, much like the team this afternoon, but are all you Pozzo/Udinese fans happy now? Of course, like you I wanted Bassini out and was very pleased when Pozzo took over, but I have been extremely disappointed with the plan, which seems to be to flood our team with players that can't make it into the Udinese first team. Hopefully this is a blip, but I some how I doubt it.

By the way, I can't believe that Dickinson is in the team. He was the only player that gave the ball away against Birmingham and he did it constantly.

You can blame the Udinese incoming players......7 of todays players are from last season so that doesnt stand up!! What is VERY disappointing is having all these loan players but it seems hardly any of them are ready to play. WHY NOT??!!!! Its incredibly annoying. Just glad I didnt waste my money and time to go and watch it. 60 mins and 4-0 down.

On reflection, I was a bit harsh on the Udinese players as there are only three in the team. It just sounds like an appalling defensive performance and none of the defence are from Udinese. After the high of last week, what a way to come back to earth!

It's going to be a long season, a result like this against a side that are hardly world beaters suggests all is not sweetness and smiles inside the WFC dressing room.

Pozzo's out, lol

Perhaps Zola is missing some of the basics when it comes to management! Like you need decent defenders to keep a clean sheet - Is Dickinson and Fitz Hall better than Taylor?

Well he's gonna learn a lot from this game and thay Taylor decision!

Vydra has just scored 5-1 - woohoo!

Our new signings which equal 3 defenders are absolute quality.
Neuton. LB CB CDM
Ekstrand. RB CB
Jean-Alain Fanchone. LB CB
They are the players that will plug the hole at the back with Cassetti RB CB RM. The attacking flair LM Pudil CM Abdi CM Bottocchio CM Murray RM
Attack Vyra Geijo
Wow

Last season we didnt conceed 5 goals as far as i remember!!! has been some time since we have. As far as im concerned the jury is still out, but does zola have any say as to the players coming in? Also why only 3 in the team? i know a few have come back from injury but for goodness sake we have signed almost enough players for a whole matchday squad, surely there must be more than a few fit? otherwise very poor.

As I stated before,Zola did not install confidence at the Hammers.A fantastic player but as a coach?bring back SD.I think you will see more results like today as there seems as though there might be a lot of friction in the camp.I really hope not, no commitment like in the days when I watched Taffy Davies play.Now he was a great servant to Watford.lol

We aren't praying for our teams demise. The problem is, GZ hasn't even read 'Football management for dummies'. You don't get rid of a solid dependable centre back and replace him with a left back. Where is the leadership within the team? Yes we have some technical players in the team but you also need a bit of steel and dependability.

Pay attention, we did not get rid of Taylor, he asked to leave and all the new signings that could offer cover were not eligible to play against Derby - just an unfortunate situation that arises sometimes on deadline day. We now have two weeks to get things sorted. Potentially a new back four to replace the existing ones that have had a tendency to let in sloppy goals over the last two seasons can't be any worse and if we the new strikers can actually score goals that would be a novelty following Garner and Iwelumu. The future's bright the future's yellow.

See this is what is annoying me, stupid opinions like yours. Before you start slagging the pozzos/zola about selling taylor can you please inform yourself with all the evidence! Taylor ASKED to leave. Zola liked him as you can see he was captain in previous games. We have signed 3 cb's as replacement who will probably turn out to be better.

So before slagging the new regime of aimlessly with no ammuninition than your uniformed opinions. Please read all the articles

Taylor wanted to stay...the club wouldn't offer him an extra year on his contract.Why not , who knows.The manager wanted him. So he asked to leave. The club could have kept him if they'd wanted to an given him the extra year.....FACT. I am going to slag off the current regime..they have pushed players onto zola ..far too many . If the owners had said , ok ...lets look at the team and it's STRENGTHS , lets add 2 or 3 players to boost it up..lets learn about champioship football ..I suspect the transition would have been smoother. Instead we have a club in turmoil. Zola to me is the fall guy now....he can't slag off the owners , he's probably totally confused with what he's doing.He's a nice person , and a football legend ..so that'll keep the fans happy until we get what we want , a total udinese reserve side.When he's done the dirty work , we'll sack him , for an established italian manager. Too much change too quick , and a club that is a shambles , is split , and unhappy. One worrying thing...Murray ( one of the few left "of our own") seems to be totally "out of it at present " , along with Nosworthy . In Murrays case , a great talent seems to have had the drive sucked out of him.At the moment , it looks like a QPR situaton with the UK "owners" running the playing side of the club too.
