    I went a while back when we lost 4-0 and Henrick Larson scored.

    A point is a great result for us.

    Still in the mero mire though.

    Have to say having seen the highlights we did get lucky with 2 sitters missed but Foster made some good saves too.

    Makes up for the Spurs game I guess.

    What an afternoon.. Voice completely gone... I said it would be a relegation party... Fans were amazing.... And great defensive game... Manure had so many chances.... Couldn't get past Foster... And some woeful shooting on both sides.

    The players have to bring that effort to home games, if we let them

    Four away games under Woy = 5 points comfortable mid table

    Two home games under Woy = 0 points relegation form

    Is it the fans fault, not directly but I would imagine that this squad playing at Newcastle would have picked up 4 or 6 points from those two games

    The players feel under pressure because they need to win at home but we (especially the Immortals (1881 club) only cheer or sing when we are winning not when we are losing, today the Manure fans were leaving when it was looking to be a draw so we are not alone in that

    The fans need to be cheering the players on regardless of the score and be the 12th man like the away sup[porters were today

    Rant over but we as fans need to make the Vicarage a hostile environment where opposing team do not feel comfortable playing us

    The only thing I disagreed with GT was when he said he wanted away supporters to feel welcome at our ground, NO, NO, NO

    Safe yes but welcome no

    Anfield is a fortress because the fans and the team make it a hard place to get a result

    If we give up now the players might just as well sit on the touchline and see how many goals the opposition can put past us

    Listening to Ben Foster is sounds as though all forwards today were expected to be defenders.

    Lets hope we can get the same results at LiVARpool and Man Citeeeeeh

    That would be hysterical even if we do go down

    Comment from the BBC website.

    "Embarrassing that we cannot score a goal in 90 minutes against such a poor, pedestrian side.

    And that's why we're 19th in the table."

    Cos 4pts off Manure in a season is never enough

    Seriously, I wonder about our fan base sometimes.

    It was a good joke! I think you misread it.

    Yesterday was #watfordfc’s first clean sheet away at one of the big six in 33 attempts since promotion in 2015.

    Just watched the highlights on the Watford site

    We actually did better than I thought, if only Sarr thought were were playing Liverpool two years ago

    If we can show that fight on Sunday we may be in with a chance

    That’s the key isn’t it Duggie consistency and desire - we see glimpses and then put in a piss poor performance the very next game.

    Problem is the next game after a good away performance is at home, and apart from Villa, Man U, Chelsea and Spurs we have been shocking at home regardless of who the manager is

    We need to be up for it on Sunday against Arsenal, even a draw would be encouraging

    Roys plan seems to be clean sheet first and then nick a goal on the counter attack, not pretty but away from home it has worked so far

    ...and patently does not work at home as we're gifting an away point before we've kicked off. Need to be on the front foot - though against arsenal I'm not so sure?
