Do Not Scratch Your Eyes

Part 1 of 4.

Troy was good enough to give us his evening to discuss his time at Watford and to respond to questions submitted by supporters. In the end he gave us 4 hours as we talked about his football career. Here we discuss the early days, the early influences as he went through non league to Walsall and some interactions with a certain Mr. Tommy Mooney.

Part 2 out tomorrow

PART ONE

The fan reaction after a home defeat where two right backs are on the bench and central midfielder is playing at right back, two central midfielders are substituted on 26 minutes with rumours of disquiet in the dressing room and then a dysfunctional performance - in any other season this would result in the raising of the corner flag, what does everyone think today. Also the delicate subject as to whether national flags are now political and should they be displayed inside the ground. A balance between free speech and sensitivity is always a tight rope to walk.....

We catch up with Kofi from the "And he takes that chance" podcast about Huddersfield's season and why he feels like a Northern Watford at the moment, does anyone want to go up to the Premier League, football fan experiences abroad, manager departures and appointments, the player with the longest name in the Championship, an owner who communicates via twitter videos, Rhys Healey, and why Pete isn't sorry that either the BBC or ITV will miss out on FA Cup coverage.

Plus we discuss the iconic Jonny Hogg getting a much deserved mural at Huddersfield.

Carlos joins us for the prediction league utilising our shiny new doorbell before getting upset he cant give his preferred prediction. John plays with his scrapbook and Jarvis sympathises with opposition called "Terriers"!

PART TWO

The rest of the fan reaction after the 1-0 away win at Rotherham. Tim points out that previous players have been limited who have scored goals for the Hornets and asks that we stick by the team and offer some patience, Ray joins us again and asks that our big Danish forward to really commit himself in challenges and headers and Chris asks if we could see Dennis earlier - perhaps from the start. Pete Ryan then joins us on his way back and makes some great observations about Rajovic and he positives he bought and the interplay between the "spice boys"!

All the 5 words, long forms, haikus and limericks are there as fans say what they think and feel.

PART ONE

After four straight defeats an oddly poor game with one shot on target from either side sees the Hornets grab the three points but how does everyone feel about that? Some are not euphoric and ask searching questions about identity, progress and a meagre squad where as the positive side of the debate are also not euphoric but feel a more pragmatic view of the result turning around a poor run of results was the priority and that has been done.

Whilst Ismaels in game substitutions have been questioned this season and again here - we ask if him calling out the lack of substitute impact worked today whilst we also try to count the number of positions Tom Ince played in - in just over 35 minutes!!!

PART TWO OUT SUNDAY - thank you as always to those who call in - without you there is no show!

Pete finally gets the new recording microphone working (having spectacularly failed last time) and, before the Leicester game, asks everyone down the Bunker where they think Watford will finish this season! We also find out about a group who have come over from Madrid to the Vic and have manged to find the Bunker!!! The roving mic will be a new feature which roughly means, it won't improve but we'll keep doing it anyway!!

We deal with some of the questions left on X/Twitter and Pete bangs for too long about the evolution of football and why its all Pep Guardiola's fault that football's got a bit dull recently! Justin tolerates this nonsense as he is relieved that for once no tradesmen are using his toilet!

PART TWO

Rob starts off part two with strong opinions on players and our direction, Danny calls in a gives his opinion on the night having travelled with his dad to Carrow Road, Adam joins us from Florida where he was watching in the office (well done indeed!) and we are able to see what a long range effect “being Watfordy” can have! We speculate what the four year contract for Ngakia might consist of, and ask “is this a rebuild?”

Nellie points out being older he is able to have experienced more defeats – every cloud eh! Nellie is choosing not to lose sleep over the accounts but tells us how he hates losing and explains why people clapping aren’t always happy!llll

PART ONE

A worldy from Asprilla completes a comeback for Watford, except Norwich didn't read the script and with the Hornets seemingly stopping, came back into the game and grabbed another 2 goals. A frustrating night sees Dylan start us of with the post mortem before Ant asks why the results and performances have dipped so much since Xmas. Alan takes the opportunity to remind us what a prat Stuart Attwell continues to and is scathing about the lack of effort in the final stages of the game! Greg comes on and argues that the recent accounts are not cause for doom and gloom and he and Pete bat back and forward the pro's and con's of where the club currently is.

PART TWO out soon
