BBC: City edged into the last 16 of this season’s edition thanks to first-half goals from Jeremy Doku and Matheus Nunes, his first for the club, in a 2-1 win against Championship side Watford.

Sky: In response, Ince curled an effort of his own past Stefan Ortega with five minutes to play but the hope given to them by the forward was short-lived as City saw out the remaining few minutes.

Cleverley felt Watford had ‘perfectly good goal’ ruled out

Fran’s Watford Blog: Having seen too many Watford teams capitulate to City, I was delighted that we gave it a go and every Watford fan left the Etihad with their heads held high. All of the players came out of the game with credit, but Chakvetadze was my man of the match, with Bond running him a very close second. Special mention also for Ogbonna who had a very solid debut.

24th September 2013- League Cup Third Round, Watford 2 Norwich City 3 (After Extra Time)

Premier League Norwich avoided an upset as Gary Hooper scored late in normal and extra-time on his first start to see off Watford in the Capital One Cup. Javier Acuna’s first Watford goal and Marco Faraoni’s 25-yard effort left Norwich teetering. But substitute Josh Murphy rifled home the game’s third superb goal, and Hooper flicked home Nathan Redmond’s cross in the 95th minute. Johan Elmander went close before Hooper poked in to complete Norwich’s escape.

The opening was all anticipation, and the drumrolls were provided by the immediate pressure that Norwich put on us a long way up the pitch. We’ve played City a million times before, this tie had none of the lustre of a Manchester United or a Liverpool… nonetheless, this is a competent top-flight City side, and to see them adopting such an archetypal Championship approach – pressure, pressure, pressure, but with better-than-Championship players – was ominous.

Ishmael Miller scored the only goal as Nottingham Forest moved out of the Championship relegation zone with victory at Watford.

Watford, who had enjoyed the better of the second half, pressed on undeterred with John Eustace sending a well-struck shot straight into the arms of Lee Camp in the dying minutes of the game.

The formation appears designed with containment in mind; containment not just of the opposition, but of our own creativity and imagination, as if getting too carried away might prove dangerous, as if risk and chance are things to be eliminated at all costs. Reinforcement of those ideas comes from the bench, with substitutions so numbingly conservative that they’re announced in the small ads of the Daily Mail rather than over the tannoy. The totality is a crumbling communist edifice, built with the thought that attacking is merely defending with the ball.

24th September 2005- Championship, Crewe Alexandra 0 Watford 0

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

BSAD: The game’s opening suggested anything but a nil nil draw, with both sides demonstrating attacking intent and neither defence looking entirely robust. Junior Osborne temporarily defused fears that he might be intimidated by the occasion by flattening David Vaughan with an early challenge, but for the most part looked willing but fallible; in Vaughan, arguably Crewe’s most impressive performer, he’d been given a big ask and much of Crewe’s first half threat came down their left side.

24th September 1996- League Cup Second Round Second Leg, Sunderland 1 Watford 0 (Sunderland won 3-0 on aggregate)

This was the last time we played at Roker Park and the last time former Hornets goalkeeping legend Tony Coton would play against us. Less than a month later he broke his leg in six places in a game for Sunderland against Southampton which led to his retirement from playing.

Northern Echo, 25 Sep 1996

BSAD: The game was pretty boring, not much happening. They scored quite early to really kill the tie stone dead, and the rest of the match was playing out for time, and trying to keep the score down to a reasonable level.
