Look at the next ten fixtures below, with teams in bold that we play who are below us, there are 8 teams worse off in the table at the moment. This could really shape a terrible dog fight or late miraculous play off push.....crunch time!! Watford V Brighton Sun 2 Feb 15:00 Leicester V Watford Sat 8 Feb 15:00 Watford V Birmingham Tue 11 Feb 19:45 Watford V Middlesbrough Sat 15 Feb 15:00 Yeovil V Watford Tue 18 Feb 19:45 Bolton V Watford Sat 22 Feb15:00 March 2014 Watford V Blackpool Sat 1 Mar 15:00 Charlton V Watford Sat 8 Mar 15:00 Doncaster V Watford Tue 11 Mar 19:45 Watford V Barnsley Sat 15 Mar 15:00 Only Millwall and Sheff Wed missing from those below us in the next ten games, but we play them on later on too. Big fixtures coming up, not for any other fans but ours and theirs, welcome to the wrong end of the Championship. Personally, I'd take 16th position now, esspecially given the run we are on at the moment, and we can get ready and better prepared for the 46 game war that is the Championship, next season... Thoughts?
March will really define our season - a bad run of results against those sides and we will be in trouble! With Udinese in trouble the Pozzos won't want two 2 sides going down. Nani has probably never heard of Crawley and Scunthorpe...
I think I will hold judgment for a couple of games and with the new players etc...... we cant go on losing....
Doubt it will come to that but a funny comment! Still, looking at the table remembering past dogfights isn't the best thing to have to do!
3 of 3 points on the board after the brighton game then ... that's a 100% record!! ...clutching at straws given our recent record I know....
Thankfully last sunday has given us a massive confidence boost - boy did we need that win! The key thing tomorrow will be to stay competitive for the entire game - accepting of course that we're playing a very well organised team who are currently brimming with confidence. We looked great against Forest and city for 1 hour and then just crumbled. We cannot keep doing that or we could really be in the mire. Obviously defeats are always hard to take but just recently it's been more the manner that has really hurt so many times this season.
Win some, lose some and a mid-table or just above finish is what I expect. My predictions are generally way off the mark though.
4 points from the first 2 games then. Time to press on. BS making a good impression now, about time, after his first few games, to start making his mark...
7 points from 3. I feel a Tommy Mooney inspired play-off push. COME ON YOU HORNNNNNNNNNNSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSs.
Eminently do-able, the only problem being though, that four of those are away from home where we are yet to rid ourselves of the habit of throwing away two goal leads... Mind you, with a reborn Cassetti, and Hoban back in the squad, that may no longer be a problem.
and, never say die? or have you given up? COME ON !!!!!!!!! Are we gonna make it???????? Charlton's postponed, but the next two games are sitters!

Watford V Huddersfield Sat 3 May 12:15 ????? dream on, but you know it could happen come on you HORNZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzz Fans should back everyone up, home form is good, run in is ONNNNNN in it to win it, play offs to keep the dream alive. EASY RUN in.... COYH COYH COYH we need the Italian suavitud with the English balls-on-the-line. WE CAN DO THIS > B.S. CAN DO THIS > GET BEHIND OUR TEAM !!! or support some other team like Udinese or Granada for example...ijijijijj
For all the optimism, where will an away win come from? stats say 8 draws and two defeats in last ten away games. Not sure that is playoff form somehow and if we are able to close the gap to the playoff spots so can the teams between us and those places. As soon as we reach 54 points and safety i will breath easier ( last seasons final table for ref ), the faster the better and then.... we can see if anything else is possible. I did not expect the earlier season home form and neither do i expect a playoff push this season.
