South Yorkshire Jinx- Sheffield United 2 Watford 1

Two visits to Sheffield, two below par performances. Maybe South Yorkshire is an area to avoid this season. Luckily Rotherham aren't in our division although we do still have to go to Doncaster.

Two Saturday afternoons, two injuries to our keepers. Lucky we aren't in the days before goalkeeper subs otherwise Nigel Callaghan would've been busy and our goal difference might have been worse than it is.

I still think Richard Lee was rather harshly criticised at the end of last season so I hope he does well in what sounds like its going to be an extended run in the team.

JJOT is becoming a bit of a noticeable star. I hope we can hang onto him in Janaury. With youth on his side I'd make him the favourite above Tommy Smith to be the next one to leave alas.

Slightly worrying to see us down to 19th. South Yorkshire jinx aside after the great displays of the last week it does feel rather unfair. But I don't feel too concerned yet. However we could really do with getting something from Burnley and Preston before the next International break.
