So long as we don’t lose to Brentford and win 2 games I reckon.
Of the top ten teams only Bournemouth won.

Keep the faith
I dont believe in conspiracy theories but the fact that all our players were at best operating at 50% and one was too ill to play leads me to think that mild food poisoning was the culprit
Perish the thought that those honest chaps up the M1 would have organised it just to score points BUT not the first time this has happened football matches
The linesman was also involved because when I watched the highlight on Sky the commentators could not believe our goal was disallowed

Much against my better judgement I am beginning to believe. I had to wait for the QPR goal against Swansea to write that.
I'll update the table tomorrow but this is the current one.

Remember how another English international was touted as a manager and didn't ever do anything. Bobby Moore was going to come in at Watford until Elton gave GT a chance. I wonder if Rooney will be just the same as Moore.

What are the Watford records for clean sheets in a season?
Also what are the English league records?
We must be close surely? 50% of our matches have been clean sheets in the league so far I think.

I think it's the most home wins since the 70s.
As for clean sheets - not sure but it's very impressive considering none of our back line have Championship experience apart from Cathcart.

Micky Walker in 1968/69 promotion season - 23 in the League = 50% (plus 3 in the Cup)
This season DB has kept 14 and BF 10 - all in the League = 54.5%
I've no idea about the record for English Leagues
Petr Cech kept 24 clean sheets for Chelsea.
As ever these days such stats only seem to be counted after 1992!

So one more clean sheet from our remaining two games and Daniel Foster will hold the record...
Xisco started with us after 20 (EFL) games had been played - we had 34 points. (1.7 points per game) He has overseen 24 games, in which we have garnered 54 points. (2.25 points per game) . That is astonishing ! 1.7 points per game, not shabby, but at that rate we would have (now) 75 points and be 7th. If he had started the season , and we had gained points at his rate we would have 99 points. Perhaps someone (not me, I have had my go) should tell the weirdo on the NCFC site who seems obsessed with criticising us.
Xisco (and his staff) have given up a great amount of personal life to get us this far. I hope we treat them properly, and show him (particularly) some genuine loyalty. I know we tried with Javi, and it was obviously not working. But I for one wouldn't mind a period of stability and club building. I would really love to see an experienced 'mentor' ( Wenger ? Benitez ?) join to give him support. I think he's going to need it. Ultimately, however, if pushed, I trust Gino, who has risked an awful lot - especially given the combination of relegation & Covid. ( I wonder if that large Barclays (?)loan was ever called upon). Those who left probably helped us in a way ( see below) as Pereyra,Capoue,Doucore, Delofeu specifically did seem less committed . It must be quite scary in the EPL with our resources. Curiously, I have been in a similar situation. For many years I was a director of a (tiny process engineering) company competing with very large others for projects, which themselves were part of schemes hugely larger than us. We had some frightening moment, but survived. The biggest factor to survival, as I discovered when later working as an independent contractor for larger companies - a fierce commitment to getting it right by everyone. Big companies just don't generate that effect in enough of their staff.
Bit of a departure from where I started - but what a lovely situation to be in. And what if Dele-Bashiru turns out to be a star !!!

I think he's the player we've missed the most. I cannot wait to see him back in a Watford shirt.
