Match Day Thread Watford v Leicester

Well the new manager might be after a whole new squad at this rate !

 

What home form!

 

An awful end to a wretched season.

 

It's not over yet...

At least Chelsea is away though - we may stand a chance of keeping it down to a three goal defeat.

 

Go back to our first game of the season and read our comments. www.not606.com/threads/watford-v-aston-villa.394779/
We were hopeful about the season, and happy with our defence and midfield. It has to go down as one of the highlights of the season.

 

And after the win at Villa too.

Roy was popular then .

 

Looking at the stats

Watford shots 13 Leicester 13
On target. 5. 7
Corners 7. 3
Fouls. 4. 6

Their number 3 should have been sent off for the tackle on Gosling

The ref pointed to his pocket and waved play on blew the whistle for the end of the first half without even booking the player

On a least three occasions we were attacking and the ref stopped the game because a Leicester player was lying down having a rest

That despite the final score is a game we could have drawn or even won but we gave 5 easy goals including one that can only go down as a Foster assist and the other 4 our entire defence went AWOL

We created our chances and theirs, the whole season in a nutshell

The Pozzos AND the fan must accept that it may take three years to rebuild the Club and Team for us to be in a position to compete at the top level

RANT OVER

 

Quite - they looked like scoring every time we gave the ball away as their team had pace and control on the ball whilst we just had Pedro and were rather wasteful.

All the Leicester goals were easily avoidable.

 

Does this suggest he is going or staying?

Who knows but least he probably does care and would be prepared to stay in a league which he is more suited to.

 

We could end this season with less points than the GT or Aidy teams, which is shocking really given the limited resources those teams had. I know we've been saying how all the people wanting the Pozzos to go need some perspective (and I think that's right) but this really has been one of the poorest seasons in my time as a Watford supporter.

 

Well stats wise it is the worse ever at home and must be our lowest points total for a long time !

 

Despite the comedy of errors yesterday I really enjoyed my visit to the Vic after such a long time. It was good to see how the place had developed into a pretty decent stadium with the same friendly atmosphere.

Mrs S also enjoyed herself and even said she would go to another match! . Halfway through the game she told me she was stressed, it was getting too much for her. During the second half she said she was depressed as well due to the score (join the club). Then she was bored because they kept doing the same thing and not scoring due to not kicking it hard enough on target. . She made me laugh at all this! Anyway I am glad she enjoyed it as I felt she was only coming for my benefit.

As for the performance, what were the defense up to, including Ben , it was just funny.

Can it get worse, hope not... relegation to League 1, it has happened if things go really pear shaped.

 

Staring with ten next weekend on yesterday's evidence

 

Really glad you enjoyed yourself Scully, probably more than those of us on a stream. It must be five or six years since I last managed to get there, yet I can still remember just soaking up the atmosphere. Possibly having manged a few visits since your last one, the alterations to the stadium have been progressive for me and not a stark change from the old cinder bank, or a misfit of an extension to the main stand. Hope you can get there again and enjoy a better result.
