23rd February 2008- Championship, Watford 0 Preston North End 0

Watford lost ground on leaders Stoke after being held by spirited Preston.

On Saturday night, as Watford’s players digested another disappointing home result in a season blighted by them, they were asking themselves one question: chicken or beef?

Some days it just doesn’t bounce for you.  Had Doris scored his early chance, Preston’s impotence in attack suggests we’d have won comfortably – not until the last twenty minutes did a victory seem anything but inevitable.

12th February 2008- Championship, Watford 1 Leicester City 0

Darius Henderson scored on the brink of half-time to keep 10-man Watford one point clear at the top of the Championship table.

What a complete turnaround in terms of defensive resilience.  Wolves in the cup was just seventeen days ago…

Steve Kabba.  Steve bloody Kabba.  Terrace hero.  Who’d have thought it?  The “tackle” out on our right flank at the end of the first half is a highlight of the season already.
