Do Not Scratch Your Eyes

TC talks through his thoughts following the draw at Cardiff and talks about new loanee James Abankwah and the challenge of managing a club on an ever reducing payroll in the Championship, as many Championship teams are having to do. He also answers probing questions (from Andrew French of the WO) about the front line exposure should our one experienced centre forward be injured in February, if we don't sign someone in the window.

PART ONE of the fan reaction following the late equalizer away at Cardiff after a mainly dull game. The Hornets went up a gear when finally conceding a goal and after a strange couple of days, its nice to talk mainly football.

We chat with Jake from RamsTalk about all things Derby and find out about injuries meaning small midfielder, a manager that splits opinion but wears a bobble hat very well, whatever happened to a wing back that was all the gossip once upon a time, Justin has bad wifi which results in him mispronouncing former Watford players and Carl is still recovering from the best and worst waxwork museum that Poland can provide! Oh and there's a game going on at some point and if you get to it early enough on a Saturday you can go into a museum that is only open for a bout 35 minutes a week it seems!!!

After the reaction to the X/Twitter Spaces asking for supporters to email the club to show their support of the manager, Justin, Carl & Pete discuss why it was felt necessary to conduct the spaces and ask for the show of support for TC and his team and look at how the relationship between the club and the manager is pivotal and how Graham Taylor viewed how a manager should be supported. Includes a small bonus repeat of a section of a podcast Pete refers to where we spoke to Malky MacKay and his experiences of being supported by GT.

Good luck at Cardiff TC & Team - COYH!!

We decided to run a sort of emergency spaces (which we don't tend to do unless something has happened, however having had a number of sources triangulate, Pete opened up a Twitter/X Space to attempt to leverage support for the manager from the fans as this appears to be in short supply within the board or ownership of the club. Tom is more than simply another manager bought in to the club, he has bona fides at the club and with the fans like few others.

The summer saw the transfer window completed and many felt that the team would struggle however the team results wise have overperformed, especially at home, however in the last few weeks the results that were won by fine margins have gone against us. Should you wish to show your support we invite you to drop an email to @[email protected], add a heading such as "Support Tom" and add whatever you wish as a message. For once it would be nice for the fans to have their say, before another manager is unceremoniously dumped out of the club and the cycle begin again but with someone less attached and relatable to the supporters.

If you know someone who is not online please alert them to this if they feel the same and wish to participate.

The aftermath of the FA Cup Exit at the hands of Marco Silva's Fulham sees an acknowledgement of the gap in class between the two leagues and the size of the task. An outstanding away fan turnout is acknowledged as we look towards the transfer window and the increase number of injuries the squad is picking up and we cast a glance up the road to another former Watford manager who has now left our rivals.

A podcast with no set agenda: Before Carl flied off to Poland the boys discuss various nonsense things and try to respond t questions some which even touch on football - but most are reassuringly random. Justin wants to join the Beatles, Carl thinks Flitwick is in the Middle East and Pete carries on his infatuation with Geri Horner-Halliwell.

DNSYE showing no improvement since 2020!!
