We have far better midfielders that the pair of the Watford players. George Miller and Charlie Barnett for a start, and I would like to see Bohan Dixon given a chance too.

Absolutely. We were musing about whether part of the deal was that we got the Watford players gratis so long as they played. If that's the case, we're getting the raw end of the deal, if yesterday was anything to go by. I guess the problem here for Cooky is that he only has two central midfield berths to fill, and maybe thought Whichelow preferable to trying out Charlie or George in a wider position. Have to say that I can't see Charlie playing out wide, and it doesn't seem to play to Miller's strengths either.
Yesterday also saw Toto given a run out at right-back. I wonder if Cooky is thinking of continuing this experiment? It was the one place in our back-line yesterday that looked vulnerable.
