PART ONE

Nellie comes on and thinks that the centre forward problem may have been solved, Wendover joins us frustrated that we didn’t get on the front foot earlier and didn’t enjoy Leicester regularly lying down, Petes phone collapses again before Neal joins us to confirm that the penalty was indeed a penalty and SteveO calls in from the Emerald Isle to offer hope for the rest of the week. All in all a very balanced view focusing on the performance positives and short falls and not just the result.

Adam joins us from the Pink 'un to talk all things Norwich City this season including David Wagner's ups and downs, the transfer windows ins and outs, Carls liking of mustard, Jonathan Lowe Norwich academy product seemingly destined for the top flight one way or another and we get into our "1 in 10" section to quickly rate and characterize the oppositions previous managers.

A dreadfully organised prediction league sees Carl and Justin get to predict before the dog or backgammon videos but they're still thoroughly depressed about everything Watford. We find out about all the things to look out for in Justin's somewhat disappointing location attraction segment and we find out the pub vs church ratio in Norwich!!!

Pete provides a stream of consciousness following the release of the accounts and asks what does it all mean for our strategy going forward when early player sales allows us to turn an operating loss of £500,000 per week in to a very tidy profit! We ask can this be repeated if we are not able to attract investment to make the player recruitment/trading model to be sustainable in the long term and will further cost cutting measures be needed?

We spun up an X/Twitter Spaces after the 3-0 away defeat in the Cup that no one other than those in the ground were able to see - fortunately (for us) Pete Fincham and Doctor Dickie Sutton were there and phoned in to give us first hand accounts of events and proceeding. Some now think that the last week feels like a straw breaking the camels back with a third game with no efforts on goal and 5.5 games without a goal from open play, but for many this is not a knee jerk reaction but a culmination of things that they have been saying for some time. Others of course don't look at things in the same way and we won't prescribe which is right and which is wrong - this is a platform for all to say what they think or feel and people can make their own minds up as to the merit of each position - our position on that won't change as Justin Carl & Pete can never agree on anything so we don't expect anyone else too!!!!

In light of the FA Cup result we thought we'd put something out to, hopefully cheer people up.

We perform the transfer post mortem, discuss did we want to win against Southampton, review Watford Managers from the Pozzo era and deal with questions including TV programmes from the 70s and 80's

Brad from “Leicester City til I die” tells us about their season and the FA Cup Final win of recent years whilst effortlessly giving gentle digs at Spurs, Ben Chilwell, Chelsea, Ben Chill’s big toe & in the “One Word/Mark Out of ten for previous managers” interims Mike Stowell and Adam Sadler are given short shrift!!! This is what we like to hear!!!

Brad gives us a run down of how Leicester will play and who to look out for on Saturday before the prediction league where John goes to court and we start to have suspicions that Jarvis might in fact be Leicester City fan!!!

Different game same old nonsense!

PART TWO

Some less regular callers make some great contributions, Taylor starts us off asking for Dennis (when fit) to play through the middle possibly alongside Bayo as it’s in the final third that we need to improve that final ball, Guy joins us traveling home after a very frustrating afternoon and summarises our position as a club and the day wonderfully, Rob wonders if his ticket for the Leicester game was really a good idea and disagrees that the times we have now can be compared to that under Basssinni; but wonders where we are and if we are all simply waiting for a new ownership to take over the club and insert more enthusiasm and energy.

We go through the 5 word reviews before chatting to Sean who points out that so far Dennis’s contributions have cost us £63,000! Sean then chooses to regale us with “the ghosts of Watford Players past” having fun and playing well whilst current Hornets floundered on a frustrating day!

PART ONE of the fan reaction following a very tepid display against Cardiff who took all three points back down the M4. Rich is very upset so we let him rant to avoid taking the mood into Mrs WFC2's birthday evening, Uncle Ron is in a car somewhere in Florida and is as you might imagine, Wendover wants to "two up" which was and wasn't an innuendo, Danny says play the kids at Southampton whilst Nellie who is usually so positive feels really flat, not having seen the result or the performance coming and Charlie asks should we be looking at the future with more wariness!

Charlie warns supporters that if you break everything down, next season losing parachute payments and loan players we could see ourselves next year in a similar position to Wednesday!

We have an ongoing fight to get to Alex’s question which we finally get to, but we get to speak to Neil from his 44 tonne truck (being used an aerial to good effect!) and points out the transfer window is very quiet throughout the market, before we chat to Kevin who got all the way down from Scotland to the game and is delighted with Hamer, Pollock and the ref – Rebecca Welsh!

Alan chooses to focus on the positives in that Pollock is getting his chance and seems intent on proving his worth and cementing a place in the starting eleven and looking at the away form which is unbeaten in seven! Pete calls out the number of central midfielders is below the “two players for each position” threshold leaving TDB and Kone looking very leggy which whilst still working hard did affect the quality of their use of the ball.

Wendover agrees that the players looked tired and asks why the transfer window has not been used to inject some fresh legs and energy into the squad. Always keen on a transfer window, Wendover fears that the hype over Dennis suggests that he might be the only incoming in the window (with 24 hours to go as we spoke).

Caity joins us and points out that both Sema and Dennis are forced to play because of the lack of depth when they are clearly no where near 100% fit, Paul observes how once again Ben Hamer has won us a point with another outstanding display and asks why top players can play two games in a week and not look as tired. He further asks if our way of playing is further exacerbating the psychological element of “feeling” tired. Not convinced by either Bayo or Rajovic with the window closing asks what have Manga, Giaretta and Nani been doing? Paul is also dismissive of talk of building for next year as parachute money will be gone as loaned against already – might we be forced to sell Asprilla & Andrews and reverting to the Watford style of existence we had prior to the Pozzo takeover? However Paul is convinced that Val is, for all his faults, the right man to lead us next season too.

Uncle Ron joins us and says if Gino has lost interest or if Watford has fallen down his list of priorities that he should sell and compares our situation to Newcastle under Mike Ashley. John joins us and offers “ying” to Ron’s “yang” (or vice versa) and looks on the positive side and looks through the squad and thinks we have enough until Pete points out the midfield numbers are below the level of 2 for each position.
