From The Rookery End - A show about Watford FC

The latest From the Rookery End podcast features two away day diaries, with Colin making the trip to Carrow Road and Mike heading to the New York Stadium (and Millmoor!) to see the Hornets in action.

Hear how both journeys and both games went with Colin and Mike checking in before, during and after both fixtures, before Mike rounded up another Watford week upon his return from Yorkshire.

Following the publication of Watford’s latest accounts, we reached out to the expert; Keiran Maguire from the Price of Football podcast.

Kieran talks us through what the numbers mean, how they stack up against comprable clubs, what it means for the future and crucially, answers the question on all of our lips - should we be worried?

There is also a bonus João Pedro update from the Seagulls supporting finance expert. A massive thanks to Kieran for his time and help; we found the chat illuminating - we hope you do to.

Watford failed to find the back of the net for the second game in a row, after their third fixture in six days ended in a limp defeat at home to Cardiff.

Ismael’s men were unable to recover from a sluggish start, with a lack of cutting edge in the final third their undoing once more.

Mike, Jas and Jon gathered immediately after the game to run the rule over a disappointing day in WD18.

In the wake of the draw with Southampton in the FA Cup 4th Round at Vicarage Road, Jon, Jas and Mike gathered in the shadow of the Hornet Shop to talk through the game.

Has Mattie Pollock played himself into an extended stay at Watford? Are we seeing the best of Jamal Lewis? Has Val finally found the formula when it comes to Martins and Asprilla? Is it that hard to tell the difference between Sierralta and Hoedt? Did ANYONE want a replay?

With multiple reports suggesting Emmanuel Dennis is set to complete a shock return to Vicarage Road, the emergency pod alarm was sounded. Mike and Jon answered the call, and this episode is their take on the potential news.

There are concerns on a number of levels, while hope of redemption for a player that continues to be divisive and left WD18 under a cloud also remains.

Have a listen and let us know what you think. A risky Gino gamble or a canny swoop for a much needed striker? It looks like we’re about to find out…
