From The Rookery End - A show about Watford FC

Chris/Chrissy/Christopher/Mr Wilder's first game as Watford Head Coach was not a good game. His second game was a whole heap better. Jon, Mike and Jason (plus a fleeting appearance from DCW) discuss a 3-0 win, against a team lower in the league, with a performance and results we should have seen far more this season. They discuss the players who made an impact on the results and if Chrissy Wilder has lots of headaches in picking the team against Wigan.

They also reflect on your feedback and thoughts about the weekend podcast where they talked through the impact of the decisions of on Gino Pozzo.

Enjoy the win and COME ON YOU ORNS

The Hornets were on the end of another defeat, even with the new Head Coach Chris Wilder, but Jon and Mike do not discuss the 1-0 lose at QPR. This is an honest podcast, where we look back on and exploring the choices of club owner Gino Pozzo - the treatment of players, and their attitudes on and off the pitch, the financial side of the club, plus what are the exact roles of the different members of Watford FC's hierarchy?

We'll be back in the week to look back on two matches under the new Head Coach, but we felt it was too important to leave these topics alone any longer.

This is From The Rookery End.

Here we go again. Again. The Slaven Bilić era is over and the Chris Wilder mini-series has begun.

Mike and Jas were at Berkhamsted Town and it was from a freezing Broadwater that they joined Jon and DCW for an emergency podcast to discuss the latest change in Head Coach.

Is it a surprise? Is it the right call? Will it make a difference? We discuss it all in this, the latest From the Rookery End.

Take a deep breath, it’s onto the next one. Come on you ‘Orns.

Bramall Lane is a long way from Watford, but Mike, DCW and Adam Drury made the journey and saw a lose but not a terrible performance - where have we heard that before this season.

Where did we lose the game - the attack, the midfield, with a returning Imran Louza, or the new look defence? They discuss and have a few improvements for Slaven.

Plus, after some feedback, Mike discusses the best tactics for dealing with refs.

We continue... COME ON YOU ORNS!!!

In this awayday companion podcast, the team discuss Old Boys/former players. Who do you miss the most, who do you think of like an ex-girlfriend and which former players derves to not hold back on a celebration, when they've scored or won a game?

Plus Jas and Jordi have a XI battle, who can the best team from players who played for Watford and another championship club.

And you can play along with a game we like to call. "Who did they play for the most?"

We hope you have a great journey up to Bramall Lane or just enjoy the podcast on your weekend walk.

COME ON YOU ORNS

A Monday night, under the lights of Vicarage Road, and Watford get their first win since mid January.

Jon, Jason, Mike and DCW gathered outside the Hornet Shop to discuss the match, the stand out players, mostly good ones and if the strategies of Slaven Billic are good for the demanding fans.

It was another frustrating afternoon for Hornets’ fans at Vicarage Road, as an improved second half display wasn’t enough to force a win against Blackburn.

Mike, Jon and Jas gathered after the game to discuss a fixture that saw the long awaited return of Tom Cleverley, Ken Sema and Imaran Louza, with all of the returnees getting the FTRE treatment, along with the rest of the misfiring squad.

There is also a look ahead to Burnely, as well as a look back to a previous classic encounter with the the Clarets. Plus a rewind interview from 2011 when the boys talked to then Assistant Manager Sean Dyche and goalkeeper coach Alec Chamberlain.

It’s another draw. It’s another From the Rookery End podcast. Come on you ‘Orns!

It's only a short journey around to the stadium formerly know as the Madjeski and Mike went with a hop, skip and jump. The aim, to see how the new signings did and if there was a little bit more to come from the Watford squad, new or old.

As the transfer windown shut this week, Jon, Jason and Mike gathered to discuss what state Watford squad have been left in.

And after the match, MIke is joined by Watford blogging legend Matt Rowson to discuss the match, including a controversial moment/decision or two.

Watford are on the road, so that means another awayday companion podcast!

This week we are delighted to bring you our chat with broadcaster, friend of the podcast and Watford supporter Kelly Somers.

We spoke to Kelly about her brilliant career so far, including what it is like to be following England through major tournaments and home and abroad - including how difficult and challenging it can be when things don’t go exactly to plan.

Kelly explains what it’s like to follow Watford (often finding out the Hornets score live on air) as well as talking about her recent brush with Hollywood when meeting Wrexham co-owner Ryan Reynolds.

It’s a fascinating chat and we’re sure you’ll enjoy it. It’s Kelly from the telly, and this is From the Rookery End!
