1st February 2021- Championship, Watford 1 Queens Park Rangers 2

BBC Sport: Troy Deeney smashed home from the penalty spot to put the hosts ahead early in the second half after Ismaila Sarr was brought down by Geoff Cameron.

Sky Sports: From the first whistle, a neutral viewer would have found it hard to distinguish which side was vying for promotion to the Premier League and which was just four points above the relegation zone, such was QPR’s dominance of the ball.

1st February 2011-Championship, Watford 1 Crystal Palace 1

http://watford.fcdb.info/index.php?page=matches

Crystal Palace moved out of the Championship drop-zone after a battling draw at Watford. Watford took the lead through Andreas Weimann, on loan from Aston Villa, when he volleyed in Andros Townsend’s ball from the left. Palace equalised when James Vaughan collected the ball from Neil Danns before jinking his way past Adrian Mariappa and firing past Scott Loach.

Evening Standard, 2 Feb 2011

Briefly, as Andros Townsend wriggled through on the left and Andreas Weimann swivelled to score, this promised to be rather fun. But Palace are nothing if not a damp squib: that was as much space and time as they were prepared to afford us, and our attacking efforts were increasingly frustrated by the two holding midfielders wedged in front of the defence like a chair under a door handle. That’s the way to play us, no question. It’s dull as a muddy puddle, but it works.

1st February 1997- New Division Two, Watford 2 Rotherham United 0

Generally, this was a good performance. But it was nothing special. With no disrespect intended, you are expected to beat teams like Rotherham. Particularly at home. But with a record of 13 draws in the last 15 games nothing is certain at the moment. Except maybe a draw!! Anyway three points won which is the most important thing and with some of the other teams faltering around us it more important than ever to keep getting points, grind out results and not worry if it is pretty or not.

1st February 1995- New Division One, West Bromwich Albion 0 Watford 1

The game was meant to be played on 21st January but was postponed because of heavy rain and gale force winds. The original programme was still issued along with a supplement.
