    I am in Block 19 and rarely hear singer's corner. Sometimes I wonder what all the fuss is about - however there was more yesterday inc several good renditions of the Sky Blue Song.

    Victor Torp

    Trouble is we haven't got 4 defenders good enough. We need the extra man to allow for their individual frailties

    Bassette is good for an energetic cameo chasing lost causes in the last few minutes in order to protect a one goal lead.....and that's about it at the moment

    absolute rubbish. Really put in a shift. BTA was the least effective by some way.

    Match Thread Coventry City - Watford FC Match Thread - Saturday 25th Jan

    Just back, not had chance to scroll through the thread but my (random) thoughts were 1. Poor, scrappy game, badly refereed against rough unskillful opposition 2. BTA was particularly ineffective. Simms on the other hand at least puts himself about 3. Torp got two goals but otherwise was a mixed...

    The last two Watford home games we have had high scoring draws that we should have, quite frankly, lost. 2-0 down and deservedly so, but they failed to close us out and Godden and Sheaf got us back into it. Last year they were the much the better team in a 3-3 draw. I'd like us to score the...

    Transfer Rumour New signing pending - Rabbi Matondo

    Frank can only play his beloved wingers if he acquires a CDM and a better central defender to play alongside Kitching. If we go two at the back we are going to struggle. We went through this with Robins in League 1 and earlier this season.

    If true I am not unhappy. Puzzled by it all along

    Transfer Rumour New signing pending - Rabbi Matondo

    A loan is usually taken with a view to playing or else why bother. In which case, is this a vote of no confidence in Tats? I would totally understand that as I think I can count on the fingers of two hands the number of times this season he has gone to the line and crossed. He doesn't trust...

    Note all those panic stricken bedwetters who desperately posted during the first half struggles against both Bristol and Blackburn. Both teams are / were above us in the league table and yet for all the backs to the wall stuff, we got two clean sheets. Watford may be on a poor run but are a...

    3. Bobby MacDonald. And you missed out Tommy Hutch who actually played for his home country

    A win surely, if narrow and hard fought. Same team - please avoid the temptation to play Da Silva rather than Bidwell. Thomas for Binks maybe, the folks who made the trip to Ewood park can say who performed best.

    Defence sorted?

    Having looked at the highlights, the first Dovin save was good, but most Championship keepers would have saved it. It was at a good height and not that powerfully hit. The second came immediately after he had done a really good punch out, so he had to get back up and run across - that was a...

    Transfer Rumour January transfer window

    ...had reached the same conclusion. Similarly we do not need to spaff money on Paterson. He doesn't fit into the new formation Both the most likely departures now look important to the team, and all we would get with the money in all probability would be a player of a similar level. Even...

    Jay Dasilva

    ....but what did it produce? Did he create a chance - apart from the one when he fell over? It's all show and no delivery. He certainly can't defend and seems very unwilling to overlap. He is a good outball receiver but that is about it. He has always been a luxury.

    Rarely disagree with you Deity, but I'd leave Lati and BTA in. Bassette lacks BTA's footwork skills and Lati doesn't give the ball away so easily. Bidwell, meanwhile, is a deity.....

    Jay Dasilva

    Absolutely right. All the twinkly footwork leads to bugger all and in the meantime he is a defensive liability. Bidders' charging runs create far more chances. Da Silva = flatter to deceive

    Close quarter control

    We are definitely more direct. far more kicking by the goalkeeper, particularly yesterday. Under Robins I sensed the goalkeepers were in fear of being dropped if they kicked long to often

    Best: Dovin and Kitching. Begs the obvious 'if only' question? Kitchings long passes down the left were particularly effective Astonished by the negativity of the match thread during the 1st half. I really enjoyed it. It was either a bit frantic or more direct, take your pick But great fun. I...
