18th March 2023- Championship, Watford 1 Wigan Athletic 1

WFC.Net Goal Commentary: 1

Attendance: 18,523

BBC Sport: Wigan battled to a point with a rearguard display against Watford but remain six points from safety at the bottom of the Championship as their dismal run extended to just one win in 17 games.

Sky Sports: James McClean’s 51st minute goal earned the visitors a point, after Keinan Davis had given the hosts the lead just before half-time.

Fran’s Watford Blog: It was a very dispirited group that convened back at the West Herts. Yet again, we had failed to win a game that was there for the taking. The lively first half had given way to a more nervous second period in which the Hornets played far too many passes around the box and made far too few incursions in. The game wasn’t helped by an opposition that were time wasting from early in the first half. But we have played many such teams this season and really have to learn how to deal with these tactics.

WFC.Net Jon Mark’s Goal Commentary: 1

Attendance: 10.642

BBC Sport: Joao Pedro headed in a late winner as Watford consigned Wigan to a fourth-straight defeat. The forward rose highest to meet Yaser Asprilla’s cross to plant a fine header past Latics goalkeeper Jamie Jones.

Sky Sports: Pedro’s effort earned Slaven Bilic’s side a third win in four games that leaves them two points off the play-off places.

Fran’s Watford Blog: Just as we were settling for a point, a corner from Asprilla came back to him and he put in a lovely cross that João Pedro headed home to send the travelling Hornets wild. There had been very few goal chances, but the Hornets thoroughly deserved the lead.

BHappy: There’s a lot to be said for an away venue that’s close to a motorway, even if that motorway has to be the M6. The abundance of accessible car parks, including the one that we tumble out of and into the away turnstiles, is also handy and the steep, claustrophobic design means that this remains one of the better “new” grounds at which to watch football. We’re two thirds of the back, but directly over the goalmouth – at West Ham you’d be in a different postcode.

21st February 2007- Premier League, Watford 1 Wigan Athletic 1

An extremely unusual event preceded Watford’s Premiership match with Wigan on Wednesday. Minutes before kick-off injured Watford striker Marlon King wandered on to the Vicarage Road pitch and, microphone in hand, made an impassioned appeal to the club’s supporters.

Your one-word match report is: insufficient.
