14th October 2003- New Division One, Watford 1 Walsall 1 Leave a Reply Watford had a Chris Baird own-goal to thank for a share of the spoils against Walsall at Vicarage Road. BSAD report: As match reports go, this one seems about as pointless as the game itself. That is, it would’ve suited everyone if Ray Lewington had been able to make a phonecall to Colin Lee, negotiate a one-all draw, and save the trouble of a Tuesday night spent watching nonsense and listening to nonsense. And save me the trouble of a Wednesday morning spent writing (about) nonsense. It wasn’t pretty, it wasn’t entertaining…and, yes, we’ll take a point in the absence of anything better. Next, please…. http://watford.fcdb.info?s=31642&id=4570 Share this:TwitterFacebook
7th September 2002- New Division One, Watford 2 Walsall 0 Leave a Reply Two BSAD reports The first third is best forgotten as we were completely ineffective. Our first shot of any note came in the second thirty minutes, when a twenty-five yard drive by Ardley which was heading for the top corner was tipped over, and our first offside occurred shortly afterwards. We were thankful to be going in level at half-time. The double substitution was welcomed like a rain shower after years of drought. Amid all the fuss over Anthony McNamee, we shouldn’t neglect to mention Jamie Hand. Apart from the obligatory booking for a needless hack, he immediately gave the midfield some much-needed oomph, if nothing else…and it cannot have been coincidental that we began to see Micah Hyde again at around the same time. http://watford.fcdb.info?id=4512 Share this:TwitterFacebook
27th August 2001-New Division One, Watford 2 Walsall 1 Leave a Reply http://watford.fcdb.info?id=4458 BSAD report: There’s a certain irony here.When we blew the top half of the First Division apart back in ’99, there were a few noses put out of joint. Thinking back, there are memories of familiar criticisms levelled at Graham Taylor’s style of play, its alleged reliance on big strikers and set pieces. Not just Trevor Francis either.

3rd March 1998- New Division Two, Watford 1 Walsall 2 Leave a Reply The minute’s silence for Roy Clare was impeccably observed, Vicarage Road so quiet that the only sound was the eery clanking of the turnstiles letting in late arrivals. Particular credit goes to the handful of travelling Walsall fans for their respectful participation. https://www.soccerbase.com/matches/results.sd?date=1998-03-03 https://www.11v11.com/league-tables/league-division-2/03-march-1998/ Share this:TwitterFacebook
8th November 1997- New Division Two, Walsall 0 Watford 0 Leave a Reply This was a dour game that only really became anywhere near exciting in injury time, when Thomas had a good dribble and shot from the edge of the area, but the keeper pulled off a great save and pushed it round the far post. Gibbs then had a run through the defence and again the keeper saved it. http://watford.fcdb.info?s=36573&id=4272 Share this:TwitterFacebook
