4th December 2010- Championship, Watford 3 Leicester City 2

Danny Graham’s late winner at Vicarage Road saved Watford’s blushes after Leicester’s second-half fight-back.

With due apologies to my co-editor, stranded on the South Coast by the weather and consequent train disruption, this is what you bloody go to watch a football match for. You know it’s been a good one when you’re left drained by the adrenaline, when you’ve been up and down and cheering and relaxed and apprehensive and nervous and terrified and exaltant all within the space of a couple of hours. That, and a big gash on my calf indicating the point at which the celebration of Danny Graham’s marvellous winner got a little too raucous in the Rookery (I think it was the frame of my seat wot dunnit, either that or someone took a bite out of my leg in delirium. Either way, I’m treating it has having taken one for the team). It felt as if something fundamentally changed at that point, like air flooding into a vacuum… a first win in eight, and the first Watford goal at the Rookery End since August. The only concern is that it might start snowing in Watford now, but I’ll take that sacrifice.

What a complete turnaround in terms of defensive resilience. Wolves in the cup was just seventeen days ago…

BBC: Leicester allowed 10-man Watford to salvage a draw thanks to an 85-minute strike by Malky Mackay. The Hornets went ahead through Marlon King’s early goal, but Joey Gudjonsson levelled then put the hosts ahead from the penalty spot just before half-time. Clarke Carlisle was dismissed just after the break, and the Foxes looked to be cruising until Mackay struck.

BSAD: With the time running out, the tireless Mahon received the ball from Bangura and swung in a cross from the right, Ashley Young appeared at the far post, stooped to head the ball back across goal and up popped Malky Mackay to sweep in a deserved equaliser. Cue pandemonium in the away end.

15th October 2005- Championship, Watford 1 Leicester City 2

Leicester claimed their first away victory of the season at Watford.

Don’t let me paint this as a crisis. It isn’t, and it doesn’t need to be. But it shouldn’t be taken lightly either, just because the start to the campaign was so exuberant and so refreshing. For the second time, we dropped points at home in a tight game, leaving a striker on the bench with a substitution to spare.

15th March 2005- Championship, Watford 2 Leicester City 2

Jay De Merit had put Watford ahead, heading home a free-kick, before Danny Webber scored a penalty after Nikos Dabizas fouled Heidar Helguson.

Ray Lewington shuffled his depleted deck of cards, still missing its ace of spades as far as the current situation goes in Sean Dyche, and also without the suspended Bryjar Gunnarsson, and came up with a 4-4-2 formation with four changes in personnel from the QPR game. Jack Smith came in for the hapless Jermaine Darlington. Lloyd Doyley returned to the fray, along with Danny Webber and Neal Ardley and we settled down to see what Watford were made of.
