It was against the backdrop of an unwanted new record that Jon, Jas, Mike and Colin gathered to record this, the new edition of From the Rookery End.

In losing 0-2 at home to Brighton, this Watford side became the first to lose six home games in a row in the top flight in Hornets history, and while the result may not have been too much of a surprise, the boys were shocked by the performance.

There is a robust discussion about the tactics employed by Roy Hodgson, who after three games in charge is yet to see his team score, as the team try to assess just what went wrong at Vicarage Road. Again. 

The chaps also pay tribute to the magnificent Ann Swanson, who was honoured at half time with the official announcement that the family stand will from now on be named after her. A truly wonderful moment in the middle of an otherwise forgettable afternoon.

Despite the result and despite what it almost certainly means, the podcast is a goodun’ so get it downloaded, get it listened to and let’s get on to Villa.

Come on you ‘Orns!
