15th October 2011-Championship, Watford 0 Crystal Palace 2 Leave a Reply report report: with NOTHING coming into the gap between the opposition midfield and defence the strikers are playing perpetually with their backs to goal; the ball goes wide, then back to midfield, then wide, then we lose it. http://watford.fcdb.info?s=31800&id=4978 Share this: Share on X (Opens in new window) X Share on Facebook (Opens in new window) Facebook
27th September 2011-Championship, Watford 2 Millwall 1 Leave a Reply Watford battled back from a goal down to secure their first home win of the season against struggling Millwall in the Championship. Watford-2-1-Millwall-BBC-SportDownload report report:If our attacks still felt unnatural, as if we were doing something that forced us out of our comfort zone, we were at least applying a reasonable amount of pressure, and were worthy of the three points.

24th September 2011- Championship, Watford 0 Nottingham Forest 1 Leave a Reply Ishmael Miller scored the only goal as Nottingham Forest moved out of the Championship relegation zone with victory at Watford. Watford, who had enjoyed the better of the second half, pressed on undeterred with John Eustace sending a well-struck shot straight into the arms of Lee Camp in the dying minutes of the game. The formation appears designed with containment in mind; containment not just of the opposition, but of our own creativity and imagination, as if getting too carried away might prove dangerous, as if risk and chance are things to be eliminated at all costs. Reinforcement of those ideas comes from the bench, with substitutions so numbingly conservative that they’re announced in the small ads of the Daily Mail rather than over the tannoy. The totality is a crumbling communist edifice, built with the thought that attacking is merely defending with the ball. http://watford.fcdb.info?id=4975 Share this: Share on X (Opens in new window) X Share on Facebook (Opens in new window) Facebook
28th August 2011- Championship, Watford 2 Birmingham City 2 Leave a Reply http://watford.fcdb.info?id=4972 Martin Taylor scored an injury-time equaliser as Watford snatched a point against Birmingham City. Martin Taylor’s late equaliser against his former club, during a thrilling finale, compounded a bad weekend for Birmingham manager Chris Hughton, whose transfer target Nile Ranger was arrested the night before. So the first half of today’s game was a turgid embarrassment. Share this: Share on X (Opens in new window) X Share on Facebook (Opens in new window) Facebook
16th August 2011-Championship, Watford 0 West Ham United 4 Leave a Reply http://watford.fcdb.info?id=4969 BBC-Sport-Watford-0-4-West-HamDownload James Tomkins opened the scoring for the Hammers with a powerful back-post header from Matt Taylor’s corner. Joey O’Brien prodded home after bustling his way into the penalty area, before Carlton Cole slotted home Herita Ilunga’s low cross. And Scott Parker added the fourth late on to leave Sean Dyche still searching for his first win as Watford boss. Of all the sentiments provoked by last night’s game, the most striking was the chill echo of the futility of Premier League fixtures. During any number of games in each of our seasons in the top flight since football was invented in 1992, we’d look plucky and promising and positive and not really terribly like scoring and then concede.  And then look plucky and positive and get our heads up and keep playing and not really look like scoring and maybe concede again, maybe not.  This is what a game between a newly relegated Premier League club and anyone else was supposed to look like.

13th August 2011-Championship, Watford 0 Derby County 1 Leave a Reply http://watford.fcdb.info?id=4968  A superb strike from Steve Davies early in the second half was enough to give Derby a 1-0 win at Watford in the Championship on Saturday. Steve Davies grabbed the only goal as Derby recorded their second successive league win at the expense of Watford. Davies scored his second of the season when he received the ball from Lee Croft 20 yards out and fired his effort into the roof of the net. BBC-Sport-Watford-0-1-DerbyDownload BHappy Report: For all the excitement of the season’s first home game, and with it a bunch of new kids to pick on or befriend, it takes about ten minutes for a certain weary familiarity to set in. Derby hang around the division like one of those odd jobs – the wonky cupboard door in the kitchen, the bit of painting in the spare room, the wisteria in need of a trim – that would only take half an hour but that you never quite get around to sorting out. In the latter case, the wisteria growing up the front of our house has got so carried away by the summer’s heady blend of sunshine and rain that anyone standing on our front steps for longer than a minute or two is liable to become so entwined that they may never escape. And that’s your introductory metaphor. Artistic merit, shots, corners, passes, pretty much anything other than goals scored (and yellow cards) and we won this game handsomely.
