23rd October 2010- Championship, Watford 0 Scunthorpe United 2 Leave a Reply Scunthorpe picked up a second league win of the week to cause an upset as Watford’s fine form came to an end. The script suggested a leisurely stroll for the hosts. Starting the campaign among the favourites for relegation has galvanised Watford without the burden of expectation. This one stank to high heaven… and there exists no more reliable an indicator of an awful performance than the home crowd, at 2-0 down, booing the display of four added minutes at the end of the game as being too long. http://watford.fcdb.info?s=33336&id=4931 Share this: Share on X (Opens in new window) X Share on Facebook (Opens in new window) Facebook
16th March 2010- Championship, Watford 2 Ipswich Town 1 Leave a Reply Will Hoskins’ late strike helped Watford edge away from the drop zone and dragged Ipswich back into trouble. Henri Lansbury opened the scoring for the Hornets when his 35-yard free-kick eluded everyone and sailed straight in. Yes, yes, Will Hoskins. We’ll come to him in a moment, for we must first pause to salute Lord Doyley. The bravura pirouette in the first half, followed by splendid left-footed cross onto the head of Heidar Helguson at the far post, was the stuff of ten minute standing ovations. But the defending often deserved a similar response: one early Ipswich attack bounded eagerly over the halfway line, discovered Jay Demerit too far forward, threatened to burst dangerously into the penalty area…and then found itself quietly shepherded to somewhere near the corner flag, any spark of danger suffocated by a gigantic, inescapable wet blanket. He must be utterly miserable to play against, ninety minutes of having your bright ideas tied up in red tape by the local health and safety officer. https://www.soccerbase.com/matches/results.sd?date=2010-03-16 https://www.11v11.com/league-tables/league-championship/16-march-2010/ Share this: Share on X (Opens in new window) X Share on Facebook (Opens in new window) Facebook
