Watford Observer: Dionisi could make up to 11 changes for Peterborough clash

Watford Observer: MATCHDAY AS IT HAPPENED: Watford 1-5 Peterborough

Match Report: Very inexperienced Watford suffer rough 5-1 Peterborough defeat

Dionisi: The young boys weren’t ready – but I had no choice

Dionisi not expecting new signings before West Ham on Saturday

Peterborough hammering was an ugly look for Watford

BBC: League One Peterborough swept aside a youthful Watford XI in a pulsating tie at Vicarage Road to book their place in the third round of the Carabao Cup. Hornets boss Alessio Dionisi changed all 11 starters from Saturday’s Championship draw at Wrexham, handing six players their full debut and naming a back-four entirely of academy graduates.

From the Rookery End: A 5-1 defeat at Peterborough was painful enough, but the result only tells part of the story. Mike is joined by Watford Observer’s Adam Drury to pick through a night that exposed just how thin Watford’s squad has become. How have Watford reached this point? What does it tell us about the club’s recruitment and financial strategy? And with the transfer deadline approaching, can the gaps be filled before they cause even more damage?

As I travelled up to Peterborough, I couldn’t help remembering our trip there in April. That was a truly horrendous performance, memorable for being one of very few last season, so I was hoping for a lot more entertainment on this trip. On previous visits to London Road, I have always stood on the terraces. So I was rather disappointed that only the seating area was open for away fans, but at least I could see what was going on. The last match report that I wrote from this venue was mostly guesswork.

BBC: Peterborough moved clear of the relegation zone and struck a blow to their visitors’ automatic promotion hopes with a 3-2 win against Watford. Danny Swanson broke away to score on the half-hour mark before Dwight Gayle doubled Posh’s lead after half-time. Hornets defender Marco Cassetti saw red for hauling down Gayle and Lee Tomlin fired home the resulting free-kick. Watford staged a late comeback with Mark Yeates and Fernando Forestieri both firing in from outside the box.

BHappy: By 3pm, the Moys Terrace was heaving and verging on raucous. It wasn’t justthe fact that it was a terrace… a big game, again, and an agreeable journey had attracted over 4000 travelling supporters. But there’s nothing quite like an agitated terrace under a low roof and whatever happens as the season closes there’s a part of me that would be perfectly happy in a lower division with terraces – is that wrong? Hell, there was even an element of nostalgic bravado in revisiting the cramped, inadequate toilet blocks of yesteryear although admittedly that attraction might wane with time… I faced the queues before kick-off for fear of having to revisit squalor and depravity on a par with Fellows Park, Walsall in 1987 as conditions worsened later on.

Watford substitute Matej Vydra netted a last-minute penalty to condemn bottom club Peterborough to a ninth defeat in 11 Championship games this season.

report:A late highlight of this particular Family Day was catching Harry the Hornet making the ill-judged decision to navigate the Rookery concourse against the tide on the way out.

Paul Taylor’s stunning equaliser at London Road saved Peterborough from a fourth straight Championship defeat. Lee Tomlin converted a penalty after just 13 minutes for the home side, but Troy Deeney levelled with scrappy goal midway through the first half. Watford went ahead early in the second half with a sweetly-struck free-kick by Sean Murray from 30 yards.
