2nd February 2013-Championship, Watford 2 Bolton Wanderers 1

Matej Vydra scored his 19th Championship goal of the season as Watford came from behind to beat Bolton and move to within a point of the automatic promotion places.

5th March 2011- Championship, Watford 1 Millwall 0

Danny Graham’s 21st goal of the season proved decisive as Watford edged out a narrow win against Millwall.

It’s all about the points, quite obviously. However theoretical the threat of relegation had been before kick-off, the winless run will have had many glancing down the table and calculating our margin of safety. Malky’s assertion that many of the dropped points can cite mitigating circumstances and stout performances wasn’t inaccurate, but with a young team and a small squad we were always at risk of building downward momentum. In spite of which, and in spite in particular of the blows to our midfield this week (see below), this was a fine, spirited performance. Millwall contributed in no small part to a game that was far more watchable than a 1-0 home win in a mid-table encounter might suggest… they played an open game, which suits us now as much as it did at the New Den at the beginning of the season. In reality the result could easily have gone the other way but the best move of the game won it, the incomparable Graham applying yet another effortlessly ruthless finish to Cowie’s visionary pass.

28th December 2004- Championship, Watford 0 Cardiff City 0

Watford’s winless run continued as they were held to a draw at Vicarage Road by relegation-threatened Cardiff.

It only takes a second to score a goal. True, apparently. It takes an absolutely enormous number of seconds not to score a goal. Also true, from immediate personal experience.

Evening Standard, 24 Apr 1996

It says a lot about a performance when you come away from a game in which you’ve scored six goals feeling a bit disappointed. Grimsby were there for the taking and we could have made it towards double figures with a bit more luck and confidence.
