19th September 2015- Premier League, Newcastle United 1 Watford 2 https://watford.fcdb.info/index.php?page=matches BBC: Newcastle’s winless start to the season continued as Odion Ighalo’s double led Watford to a second successive victory. Sky: The hosts put in an improved display after the break, thanks in part to Daryl Janmaat who halved the deficit shortly after the hour mark. But Watford held on for their first victory at St James’ since 1981, while Steve McClaren’s wait for a first victory as Newcastle manager continues. ESPN: The Nigeria international struck on 10 and 28 minutes as he took advantage of some pitiful defending to give the promoted Hornets what proved to be a decisive lead. Fran’s Watford Blog: In the run up to the game, the Newcastle Chronicle had an article which included the paragraph, “Let’s face it, Watford are pygmies living in a land of giants. They deserve huge credit for achieving what they have, but clubs like Newcastle, with 50,000 fans bellowing them on, ought to sweep them contemptuously aside.” The words made my blood boil, but meant that Flores didn’t need to dig too deep to get inspiration for the pre-match team talk.
