BSAD imageBSAD report: Strange times in Hertfordshire. The local paper blares bizarre headlines concerning mutilated sheep carcasses from satanic rituals on Chipperfield Common. The scoreboard at Vicarage Road proudly displays advertising for “Dianetics” by L. Ron Hubbard. The programme promises that future pre-match entertainment will include exploding water buffalo. Only one of the above is a lie.

9th May 2013- Championship Playoff Semi-Final First Leg, Leicester City 1 Watford 0

https://watford.fcdb.info/index.php?page=matches

BBC: David Nugent’s first goal in 17 games gave Leicester a slender and deserved lead over Watford after an open Championship semi-final first leg.

BHappy:  Less than a fortnight after the last time, we’re back at the KP stadium and it’s an odd experience.  In so many ways, and despite our refusal to get all obsessive about replicating the components of the previous encounter in the name of fortune it’s like stepping back into a story that hadn’t stopped, walking back into a room where the same album had been playing on loop for a fortnight. From the way the wind howls around the ground to the impressive and imposing noise to the frantic edginess of the occasion.  If there’s a change in mood it’s a subtle one in the away end… we’re no longer the nothing-to-lose, let’s give this a go chancers;  we had a go, we almost made it despite extraordinary obstacles, but not quite.  We are battle hardened and slightly circumspect as a result… it’s intangible, but it’s real enough. If the welcome presence of Luther Blissett in the away end provides a fillip, there’s a something that veers between determination and fear which wasn’t here two weeks ago.

18th September 2026- Championship, Bristol City 1 Watford 0

Watford Observer: Dionisi hopes a proper week of training makes the difference at Bristol City

Watford Observer: MATCHDAY AS IT HAPPENED: Bristol City 1-0 Watford

Match Report: Injury-hit Watford lose third straight away game at Bristol City

WATCH: Immediate reaction to Bristol City 1-0 Watford

Dionisi: ‘We played to our maximum but this is how it is’

‘I watched it back and probably it should have been a penalty’

Dionisi not happy with Watford attackers except Nabizada

Dionisi explains tactical approach with makeshift full-backs

Sense of inevitability is the most damning thing for Watford

BBC: Dom Ballard scored the only goal of the match as Bristol City bounced back from successive defeats to beat Watford in the Championship at Ashton Gate.

Sky: Watford, meanwhile, who have an injury-ravaged squad under Alessio Dionisi, remain in the bottom half of the table. They have picked up just a point on the road all season.

From the Rookery End: Another defeat before the international break — but what have we actually learned about Watford so far this season? Jon, Jordi, Charlie and Mike look back on the defeat at Bristol City and take stock of where the Hornets find themselves.
