This was pretty much a run of the mill match for Watford. Played a hopeless side at the bottom of the league. We take an early lead then play probably the worst performance of the entire season, yes and that IS including Huddersfield. Couldn't put two passes together, still we did score the second, only for Atkinson to do his usual and disallow it, even though that would have stood if any other side had scored it. Both the Swansea goals looked offside to me as well, but I'd have to see that again to confirm this. Gray missed a sitter, but then that's what I expect from him. Janmaat is a liability in defence. It was an obvious conclusion and this kind of thing is a habit for Watford. Can't do anything about crucial decisions going against us, but the overall performance was a disgrace. We MUST have a good January window. There is a lot wrong with this side. Forget the early form, that's long gone. We had a good head start, that's all. There's nothing separating this team from all the others at the bottom. Our last 14 games. W 3 D 1 L 10. It's pathetic. Unless there are drastic changes, then we will do very well getting to 40 points. At the end of the day, it's another game we were winning, but as soon as the opposition get a bit desperate and throw men forward we capitulate. We are the gift that keeps on giving and are becoming a bit of a joke. Everyone must want to play Watford as they all know that they are mentally weak when you press them. Leaderless and gutless.
Here Marco try this... As an individual you have to face up to your own fears and responsibilities and make the most of what you have in adversity and show character. You shouldn't need someone else to push you harder. The poet himself was in desperate straits when he wrote it.
Wasn’t Wague injured? Sure I saw him checking his thigh? If that change wasn’t enforced then I don’t know what to say. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
The team is full of cowards I’m afraid, after letting that go. Folded after the first goal. Silva needs to feck off. We are bang in trouble.
I actually thought the heavy touch nearly fooled their keeper like he was trying to dummy him. Should have gone low but went for power at the perfect height
I’m playing Elton Johns classic I guess that’s why they call it the blues.... I feel that way and we are going to face a team in blue next.
This. Individual misses, individual mistakes are one thing; but Watford rolling the ball cleverly back and forwards across the back line when they should be going flat out for swansea's throats. Get the ball forward faster, manufacture chances, pressure the hell out of a side that are bottom of the table and a goal down. The first goal is the hardest, but what did we do then? Sit back and admire our superior style. When you've got your foot on the opposition's throat, don't take it off, for God's sake. Is it the players or is it the coach?
Shocking, absolutely shocking 2nd half. To me, it looked like they were trying to lose that game, that's how bad they were. Has the manager lost them? So on 82 minutes, absolutely certain Swansea would score, I put an insurance bet of £5 on the draw at 10-1. They scored and I thought the £50 would go some way to console the pain. They even f***ed that up. Utter w***ers the lot of them.
We lost because we didn't try to win it, after we took the lead we seemed happy with slow pedestrian paced play to keep it to one nil. Silva must have been okay with that because that's how we started the second half. As other people have said already you could see what was coming, how can we be so utterly useless at defending routine set pieces.
The irony is this tune is actually titled “Entrance of the gladiators” These lot aren’t Gladiators. They used to have a good song from the chicken run at Aylesbury Utd ( and elsewhere probably) when the opposition did something **** you’d sing a few bars and then shout “S hit!” Maybe we could bring this in for when Gray next misses or the players come out ?
Are you having a terrible season? Do you find yourself at the foot of the table? Haven’t won in 8 games? Haven’t scored an away goal since the opening day of the season? Do you want to play Watford in your next game? Find yourself 1-0 down with 5 minutes to go? Don’t worry. Watford have it covered. Agent Andre of Bedfordshire continues to work his magic. Has to be the biggest waste of money and space I have ever witnessed at this stadium. Just when you think he couldn’t get any more **** he starts directly losing us points. It’s staggering how predictable the end result is in these games. It’s a carbon copy of the Palace and Everton games. We don’t put our chances away and you just know it’s going to haunt us by full time. The way we gave the ball away everytime we won possession back was Mazzarri esq. Silva is actually a very limited football manager. Can put together an attacking flair team but doesn’t have a clue about setting up a defence, game management and effective subs. What on Earth was he doing taking Wague off for Prodl? Unbelievable stuff Marco. Can the season end please?
We do the unpredictable though. Many of us were seeing Swansea as the next big winnable game coming up, but instead the team surprised us by beating Leicester, and then surprised us in a bad way by losing to Swansea. If theres one thing ive learned this season is one doesn't know what to expect from this team game to game.
Indeed cthulhu. Old Bohemian Julius Fucik was a well known writer of marches. I wonder whether he would be glad to know that over the last four decades this march has been appropriated for this use to describe such clownish events like Gray's miss. I'm pretty sure Professor Gray would still be unaware of it's significance even if it was. Little Shi ts seems to be his level.
Silva has just said in post match interview "we did enough to win the game". Make of that what you will.
As soon as the Swans brought on a sub who'd been made to wear kit from the lost property basket the writing was on the wall. Gray's miss is not the only reason we lost, but it makes life easier to put all the blame on him. So I will. F***ing useless summer c**t
We should start a poll on how many goals City will score. Heck their reserves would probably put four past us. I’m dreading it.
Am I being punned ? Moment of the match for me was when the TomTom GPS was not working properly. From a free kick it turned faster than the skin of a chameleon wandering across Josephs Technicolour Dreamcoat into a Swansea corner.....Amazing. Bet they don't teach that in coaching manuals.....
I have the dubious “pleasure” of working at L*t*n airport...and this is what “that lot” seriously think
The most stupid idiotic braindead gormless dumb*rse thing to do was take Wague off Should have gone 451 and seen the game out All Silva had to do was leave the back 4 alone, send some subs into the midfield to pack it out, send on gray and ask him to run around like a stupid thing for 15 minutes... that's it, nothing more Prodl ffs, the guys garbage since his injury, why, just why Much more of this and I can see us going down
Back at Marco's mansion there is a league table which has Watford at the top sponsored by The Good Mushroom Company.
