5th April 1999- New Division One, Birmingham City 1 Watford 2 http://watford.fcdb.info/index.php?page=matches Daily Telegraph, 6 Apr 1999 Birmingham Post, 6 Apr 1999 BSAD: Christ, this was an absolutely magnificent away victory, one of the truly great Watford performances of recent years. They took the intensity and aggression from the last twenty minutes of the Tranmere game as a starting point. Then they added discipline, intelligence, astonishingly astute tactics, finishing, bravery, patience, unbroken concentration, resolute confidence, ambition. After weeks of suffering from a chronic inferiority complex, we finally proved ourselves wrong. https://www.soccerbase.com/matches/results.sd?date=1999-04-05 https://www.11v11.com/league-tables/league-division-1/05-april-1999/ https://oldwatford.com/2019/04/15/15th-april-2019-premier-league-watford-0-arsenal-1/ Share this: Share on X (Opens in new window) X Share on Facebook (Opens in new window) Facebook
5th April 1997- New Division Two, Watford 0 Crewe Alexandra 1 Leave a Reply http://watford.fcdb.info?id=4244 Kenny Jackett’s current position is a difficult one. Under fire for recent, less-than-thrilling performances from people, including Oliver Phillips, who appear to have forgotten that promotion is all that counts, it seems that he’s been forced into a re-think. The goalposts have been moved and I’d argue that this further dent in our aspirations is a result of that. https://www.soccerbase.com/matches/results.sd?date=1997-04-05 https://www.11v11.com/league-tables/league-division-2/05-april-1997/ Share this: Share on X (Opens in new window) X Share on Facebook (Opens in new window) Facebook
5th April 1994- New Division One, Peterborough United 3 Watford 4 Leave a Reply http://watford.fcdb.info?id=4082 Daily Telegraph, 6 Apr 1994 Peterborough had been in deep trouble all season and, by the time this fixture at London Road came along, it was clear that whichever side lost would go down. Clap Your Hands summed it up simply enough – ‘you HAVE to be there, no excuses’. On the night, it seemed that about half of Watford had travelled to roar on the ‘Orns. Defeat was absolutely unthinkable. Share this: Share on X (Opens in new window) X Share on Facebook (Opens in new window) Facebook
