29th March 2013- Championship, Watford 3 Burnley 3

http://watford.fcdb.info?id=5057

Sam Vokes rescued a point for Burnley in injury-time as Watford missed the opportunity to move into the top two.

A mistake by 22-year-old Matthew Briggs allowed Sam Vokes to make it 3-3 as Burnley manager Sean Dyche’s first return to Watford since being controversially sacked by them ended happily for him.

And so we welcomed Sean Dyche back to a very different club. We applauded him warmly, and quite rightly; he applauded us, which was typically decent of him. And he stood on the touchline with Ian Woan, pointing and shouting and looking as if he’d never left. And then we went our separate ways again. And now we’re here, you wouldn’t change it, would you?

WFC.Net goal commentary: 1

BBC: Blackpool scored two late goals at Watford to give Paul Ince his first win in five games since becoming the Tangerines’s manager on 18 February.

Sunday Telegraph, 10 Mar 2013

BHappy: we have what amounts to an extraordinary injury crisis by any normal standards. I’ve heard comments along the lines of “we’ve been lucky to avoid injuries”, but the truth is that we’ve had a few players out throughout. The current list includes Almunia, Abdi, Chalobah, Eustace, Hoban, Hall, Neuton, Smith with Ekstrand and Cassetti not fit to start. That’s a more than decent defence/midfield, arguably stronger than what we fielded yesterday. We have key players looking tired and out of form – worth bearing in mind the next time that Zola opts to rotate his squad. We had a number of key refereeing decisions go against us, a couple of them quite perversely so as discussed. And yet we were still unlucky to lose the game.

5th March 2013- Championship, Watford 2 Sheffield Wednesday 1

WFC.Net goal commentary: 1. 2

BBC: Substitute Fernando Forestieri scored twice as Watford moved up to second in the Championship with victory over Sheffield Wednesday.

Evening Standard, 6 Mar 2013

BHappy: In short, we’ve got to second by playing with freedom. By following our attacking instincts even when coaching manuals, common sense and British fair play say we ought to back down. By honouring a commitment to passing football even when it gets us into trouble (NOT THERE, FERNANDO). Especiallywhen it gets us into trouble (NOT THERE, FERNANDO). By scoring goals and making mistakes and having fun and not losing too much sleep when it doesn’t work out. This is the least constrained Watford side any of us have ever seen…and there’s no sense in fetching the harness and whip now. If we’re going to do this, it won’t be by heaping pressure on ourselves or by bowing to convention. Let’s face it: the best possible outcome of the season is one hell of a peak; the worst possible outcome ain’t much of a trough….
