Crystal Palace (H) 08/02/13 – Sky’s the limit for tired Hornets
Let’s not beat around the bush. Not winning when 2-0 up after 13 minutes is poor. Not winning when 2-0 up at half time is criminal. Putting aside Palace’s strengths and their considerable second-half improvement for one moment, a team of our quality should be closing games like that out. This was two points dropped […]
Charlton (H) 01.01.13 – Post-Festive Gloom As Addicks Go Cold Turkey.
Seven goals, three more disallowed, a penalty, another good appeal turned down and more bad challenges than you can shake a bestudded foot at – you’d be forgiven for thinking that this was an enthralling game that kicked off 2013 in style. In fact, for us Watford fans at least, it was a frustrating match, […]
The Game – Wolves (H) 17.11.12
Good vibes continue to echo throughout south-west Hertfordshire after Watford’s good run of form continued with a tight-ish win over a stuttering Wolves side at Vicarage Road on Saturday. After a good start to the season, Ståle Solbakken’s men haven’t won a game since October 6th, and arrived in the South desperate to reignite their […]

Dissecting the Game: Bristol City (H) 22/09/12
Another good performance, another set of points snatched from our grasp. Whilst the Brighton game saw Watford dominate in fits and spurts, but fail to turn their possession into chances, Saturday saw them go one further rung up the ladder – lots of possession, lots of chances, few goals. It’s getting closer, but results need […]
Dissecting the Game: Brighton & Hove Albion (H) 18.09.12
It’ll come. It’ll come. Repeating the consoling words to yourself as you plod away from a darkening Vicarage Road is scant comfort when three points have once again left the stadium with the opposition. But it will. Craig Mackail-Smith’s penalty was enough to secure the Seagulls’ fourth win of the season, and consign Watford to […]
