29th September 2009- Championship, Watford 2 Coventry City 3 Leave a Reply http://watford.fcdb.info?id=4879 Coventry striker Leon Best scored twice late on to help his side stage a stirring comeback and beat Watford. This was, of course, what we were always at risk of with our thin and inexperienced squad. The continued absences of Helguson, Demerit and (effectively) Severin deprive us of experience where we have little to spare; the additional absences of Ellington, Jenkins, Cathcart and (ultimately) Hodson left us looking very sparse indeed. But it’s lack of nous that’s the issue really… there’s no way that points should have been dropped from half time onwards against a lamentable Coventry City side.

27th January 2009- Championship, Watford 3 Burnley 0 Leave a Reply Tamas Priskin came off the bench to score a clinical brace as Watford earned a vital Championship win against a very disappointing Burnley. Burnley got off to the worst possible start when McAnuff struck inside the opening minute. Before Saturday, my co-editor suggested that Mr.Rodgers needed to give us something to cling to. Well this wasn’t so much a damp rope to cling to as a luxury yacht with well stocked galley and attentive staff. Wallop! And there was me suggesting that we were doomed with him in charge. Shows how much I know. Why are you still reading this? Evening Standard, 28 Jan 2009 Share this: Share on X (Opens in new window) X Share on Facebook (Opens in new window) Facebook

10th December 2005- Championship, Watford 1 Plymouth Argyle 1 Leave a Reply BSAD report: Around half an hour into the first period, Miles commented that it was “okay so far”. From someone who’s quick enough with a strong opinion, this was a statement so spectacularly radical that it required a serious double-take. Such generosity can only be explained by the festive spirit, or having spent most of the time playing computer games instead of watching properly. Because the first half, while considerably more competent than its counterpart seven days ago, offered the most dour, relentlessly unrewarding football seen at Vicarage Road since the last time that I wrote a sentence like this. It was “okay” only in the sense that nobody died. Share this: Share on X (Opens in new window) X Share on Facebook (Opens in new window) Facebook
