New Watford signing Don Cowie scored one and set up the other as the Hornets clinched a third successive league win.

Three games now against teams that are “down there”.  Continue this good run and lingering relegation concerns could be behind us in ten days’ time.

There I was chatting to some familiar faces in the crowd, looking around to see which other familiar faces I could see, when I remembered that I perhaps better look at the players warming up and see who was playing. “This is odd,” I thought, “There’s a few faces I don’t recognise”. Then I looked around to see if I could work out who wasn’t playing. No Gayle (not too surprising), no Noble (slightly surprising), no Gifton (surprising), no Hyde (absolutely flabbergasting). I had heard nothing of injuries to Hyde, Gifton and Noble. Conspiracy theories ran riot. Had Noble gone back to Arsenal? What on earth was happening?

The team was announced with numbers from 1 to 16, in direct conflict to the numbers they had on their shorts. This resulted in Hughes wearing shirt number 4 with shorts numbered 10, and Helguson in shirt number 10 wearing shorts with number 18.
