23rd April 2011- Championship, Watford 1 Barnsley 0 Leave a Reply Vince Pitt’s cartoon has not aged well. http://watford.fcdb.info?id=4963 Captain John Eustace’s winner after just 43 seconds kept Watford’s slim play-off hopes flickering after a poor game against Barnsley at Vicarage Road. Don Cowie delivered a corner from the right and after Troy Deeney hit the crossbar with a powerful header, Eustace was on hand to prod in from point blank range. If Troy Deeney eventually blended into the anonymous blur, he took an awful lot longer than most. Often up-and-down in a rather Jordan Stewart kinda way – undermining a positive and encouraging contribution one moment with a distracted, infuriating error almost immediately (although never quite to Stewart’s peerless level) – his first half in particular was jam-packed with consistent, varied contributions. Strong headers, hard work, neat touches, bright vision. In a forward line featuring Danny Graham and Marvin Sordell, his was the star turn, the real source of impetus and momentum. https://www.soccerbase.com/matches/results.sd?date=2011-04-23 https://www.11v11.com/league-tables/league-championship/23-april-2011/ Share this: Share on X (Opens in new window) X Share on Facebook (Opens in new window) Facebook
12th September 2009-Championship, Watford 1 Barnsley 0 Leave a Reply Watford made it four games unbeaten as Mark Robins’ tenure as Barnsley boss began with defeat at Vicarage Road. report:there are encouraging signs of a couple of the large number of expensive persona non grata finding their way back in from the cold.

11th April 2009- Championship, Watford 1 Barnsley 1 Leave a Reply http://watford.fcdb.info?id=4863 Watford striker Tommy Smith denied Championship relegation battlers Barnsley a priceless win with a late equaliser at Vicarage Road. A telling memory of How Things Used To Be from the recent Clough documentary: Forest players in the centre circle, turning to greet and be greeted by each of the stands before kickoff. We used to do that too, a line of players in the middle of the pitch. It meant something. Now, it’s not until we’ve had a pedestrian parade of players and officials across the full width of the pitch, followed by an extended mingle with nibbles and a free bar, that we get to applaud and be applauded by our team. Or the first two or three of our team, to be precise: by the time you get halfway down the line-up, everyone’s got bored and the remaining players just wander into position rather than bother to sprint purposefully towards the Rookery. Something essential has been lost here…and for what, exactly? https://www.soccerbase.com/matches/results.sd?date=2009-04-11 https://www.11v11.com/league-tables/league-championship/11-april-2009/ Share this: Share on X (Opens in new window) X Share on Facebook (Opens in new window) Facebook
9th April 2008- Championship, Watford 0 Barnsley 3 Leave a Reply http://watford.fcdb.info?id=4807 Barnsley striker Kayode Odejayi put his FA Cup semi-final miss behind him to score twice at Watford and lift the Tykes out of the relegation places. Watford missed out on the chance to leap to the top of the Championship and extended their recent run of form to one win in 10 after a desperate performance against struggling Barnsley, for whom a second away win of the season was enough to soothe any FA Cup hangover and send them surging out of the bottom three. This week I’ve seen a house purchase fall through, spent any amount of time with a bored toddler in queues on the M1, and my tickly cough is back.  I really didn’t need last night’s gutless, passionless, utterly undistracting shower of shit. They could have gone top and that was the best they could come up with. https://www.soccerbase.com/matches/results.sd?date=2008-04-09 https://www.11v11.com/league-tables/league-championship/09-april-2008/ Share this: Share on X (Opens in new window) X Share on Facebook (Opens in new window) Facebook
3rd November 2001- New Division One, Watford 3 Barnsley 0 Leave a Reply Whatever the reason, and they alone know, WFC have only got into gear in the second half of the last three games they’ve played. For once, the league table doesn’t lie. Following our ascent into a perfect mid-point in Division One on the back of this victory, we’re exactly where we should be. http://watford.fcdb.info?s=35515&id=4777 Share this: Share on X (Opens in new window) X Share on Facebook (Opens in new window) Facebook
