  • 4 points out of 9 that ain't bad
    Feb 16 2025

    After 1-0 win away at Middlesbrough. Jon, Jordi and Adam gathered to react to the win and how the Hornets might have started to revive their season at the Riverside. With one eye on next weeks derby match against Luton, they discuss how a new foundations seems to be forming in Tom Cleverly's Watford squad with a new centre back pairing and the continued redemption of Imran Louza. Tom will have some hard decisions to make, but has Doumbia shown him enough to cause him headaches for who should be starting up front.

  • Louza, Selvik and Doumbia impress at the Stadium of Light - Sunderland 2-2 Watford
    Feb 9 2025

    DCW and Mike convened the morning after Watford's 2-2 draw away at Sunderland to assess the performance and reflect on some much needed reasons to be cheerful - a very steady debut for Egil Selvik, an encouraging first start for Doumbia, a promising central defensive partnership of Pollock and Abankwah, and an absolute worldie from Imran Louza. If only we could defend set pieces...


    We also hear from Adam Drury who was among the hardy souls who made the trip up to the Stadium of Light, and we look at the task that awaits us in the week ahead with difficult games against Leeds and Middlesbrough.

  • Dennis, Iheanacho or Ndiaye (not the good one) - with Opta's Matt Furniss
    Jan 29 2025

    DCW and Jas are joined by Opta's Matt Furniss for another rummage through the numbers and they attempt to work out why this Watford side are so bad in the first 15 minutes of games, what Moussa Sissoko and Edo Kayembe are failing to do in midfield, and with less than a week to go in the January transfer window we look at whether Emmanuel Dennis part III, an out of sorts Kelechi Iheanacho or Red Star Belgrade's 29-year-old Cherif Ndiaye are the answer to our struggles in the striking department.


    There's also discussion of the ongoing uncertainty around Tom Cleverley's position and a look back at the runs of form that have lead to Gino Pozzo pulling the trigger on all of his head coaches so far.
