    A Comeback Win – But Who Is Watford’s Most Important Player? (opens the original)

    Episode notes · Positive tone

    Read excerpt

    Watford came from behind to beat Preston North End 2-1 at Vicarage Road – but it took a dramatic half-time intervention to turn a pretty grim evening around. Jon, Jason and Sam are joined by The Brigadier Colin Mace to look back at a game of two very different halves. We discuss the triple substitution that changed everything, the growing influence of Iker Bravo, whether Mamadou Doumbia should now be Watford’s first-choice striker and why Mattie Pollock might just be the most important player in

    Why did Watford Draw a Blank Against the Baggies? (opens the original)

    Episode notes · Critical tone

    Read excerpt

    Watford left the heights of The Hawthorns empty-handed after another tight game was decided by a costly mistake. Mike, Jordi and Sam look back at the 1-0 defeat to West Brom and ask why the pieces of this Watford side aren't quite fitting together yet. There's Albert Eames' difficult first league start, a defence still searching for cohesion and the continuing problem at the other end of the pitch: where are the goals going to come from? Plus, encouraging debuts for Stephy Mavididi and Soumaïla

    Episode notes · Neutral tone

    Read excerpt

    Watford remain unbeaten after a 1-1 draw with newly relegated West Ham — but should the Hornets have grabbed all three points? Jon, Jason, Charlie and DCW look back at a sold-out afternoon at Vicarage Road, from a superb Amin Nabizada finish to Kevin Keben’s choices that ended in an extraordinary own goal, and discuss the growing signs that Alessio Dionisi is building a team with a clear identity. With the transfer window about to close, attention then turns to what Watford still desperately nee

    Episode notes · Critical tone

    Read excerpt

    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? Plus, Mike and Adam discuss the young players thrown into an incr
