Watford salvage another 3 points from the jaws of defeat as they come from behind to beat Norwich 3-2 at Vicarage Road. Ned and James are back to discuss the game and perhaps the more questions than answers that came out of it. What is going on with the back four? constant individual mistakes. Is it a personnel issue? is it the tactics? or is it the midfield not protecting them as they should? which leads the boys on to the question of: is the 4-4-2 working? a lot of joy from those fullbacks ...

A tale of 1-1 draws, is it two points dropped or a point gained? (Watford 1-1 Bristol City & Ipswich)

It's been a very busy week for Watford FC, three games in six days gave the golden boys no rest. 5 points from a possible 9 wasn't a bad return given the fixtures but do we see the draws as 2 points dropped or a point gained? Ned and James discuss this and the context of the question. How did the change of shape and personnel impact the game on Friday night, was it the right decision to switch to a back 5? and did we come away from the game disappointed not to beat a fairly depleted Bristol C...

Apologies for no episode last weekend! we just couldn't find the time to sit down and record together.

The boys then turn their attention to Javi's first three games in charge, what have we learnt so far? The Spaniard seems to be getting the best out of some players (Vata and Bola) but there ha...

Javi is BACK, time to be excited, cautious or both? (Watford FC Announce Javi Gracia as New Head Coach)

But murmurs of Pezzolano's sacking began shortly after full-time on Saturday. Ned and James discuss the reasoning for and against the sacking of Pezzolano, whether they think the team is going in the right direction, have the performances in the past ...

Midfield struggles, Does Baah work on the left & is Pressure mounting on Pezzolano? (Watford 0-1 Blackburn)

Pezzolano’s Watford looked miles off the pace in a 1-0 defeat to Blackburn. With little creativity in midfield, injury problems at the back and it was a frustrating watch for the Elton John and the Vicarage road faithful. This week Ned and James dig into the key issues: Is Baah really suited to the left? does he offer enough from the start and is Irankunda a better option? Is Sissoko running out of steam and Kayembe offering enough? and how vital are the returns of Louza, Chakvetadze and Dwom...
