    No, I missed out but hope to get one match before Xmas.

    Harris is right btw. All home teams with fans won in midweek. It is unfortunate that it is not throughout the league but you have to accept the situation.

    Are you sure about that? I read that Cambridge were allowed 2000 fans in for their match against Mansfield on Wednesday - which they lost 0-1.

    I saw it quoted, might have been just Championship. Isn't Cambridge near or in tier 3?

    Think most places in the South are tier 2 apart from Kent.

    Yes it probably will help if you can get an atmosphere going.

    Honest assessment from Ben here!

    Probably easy to say when you're going to start each week and perform fairly well.

    I can't keep track - I thought he had left in August when another Italian guy arrived? Can't think of his name, which may show what sort of impact he has had...

    Think he was just given a reduced role.

    That's fantastic news! 5 likes if possible! <party>

    Re the other guy, different position but from the outside looked like he was covering parts of Giraldi's job. He replaced an English guy who was employed specifically to make the most of the UK player market but his job was world wide.
    Have I confused you? :emoticon-0100-smile

    Hornets leading Colchester 2-0 in the FA Youth Cup third round match - sounds like a few people in St Albans enjoying the game too...

    Not sure if the above has been posted else where. However, an general injury update - Including Isaac:

    One player who could be set to make an appearance at the beginning of next year is striker Isaac Success, who is back in light training after recovering from a ruptured Achilles. The Nigerian spoke to the club website ahead of last night's match, saying it was time for him to deliver after what he feels has been a disappointing spell with the club so far.

    "Sometimes I feel disappointed with myself as I've got the qualities and everything a forward player will need,” he said. “I need to do the right things and wait for my chance. I think I've got lots to offer the team. It's been disappointing not getting the chance [over the years] and being injured a couple of times when it was time for me to explode. I just need to keep working as there is so much more to come. It's time for me to deliver for the team and the fans as they have been waiting too long. The wait is now over.”​

    Probably the biggest understatement I have ever heard from him. The wait still, and probably will, continue. What a waste of wedge. Or maybe the Nigerian is going to work for Uber Eats.

    No more goals but they are into the fourth-round draw on December 18.

    Vladimir Ivić has been nominated for the Sky Bet Championship Manager of the Month award for November.

    The Hornets went unbeaten last month, with three wins at Vicarage Road and two draws away from home, scoring 11 goals in the process.

    Following dramatic late victories against Stoke City and Coventry City, Watford finished the month in style with their biggest win of the season so far – beating Preston North End 4-1.

    Also nominated for the November award are Daniel Farke (Norwich City), Dean Holden (Bristol City) and Tony Mowbray (Blackburn Rovers).

    The winner will be announced on Friday
