What can we say Robbed again by two VAR decisions We should be on 8 points and Newcastle on 7 Still in trouble but how can you win when all the officials conspire against you
Just a reminder that in the 84-85 season after the cup final Watford didn't win a match until the tenth game, ultimately finishing 11th. Game ten today... COYH!
The ONLY glimer of hope is that there might just be a few teams as bad as us and we can sit 4th worst. I have no idea where this elusive win is going to come from.
On current form certainly Southampton, Norwich and Newcastle are thankfully looking to give us a potential escape route from the relegation zone.
Its the elusive win that is becoming an anchor. Looking ahead to next weekends games, Norwich are at Brighton, Newcastle at West Ham and Southampton have their trip to City to look forward to. If we are lucky in that Newcastle or Norwich do not pick up anything in their games today, then If we beat Chelsea next weekend.....
On a more positive note, here’s some stats I’ve just seen on Twitter: Since Watford lost 0-8 to Man City, - Conceded just 3 goals in the league (joint 3rd fewest) - Allowed 42 attempts at goal (joint 4th fewest) - Allowed 12 shots on target (joint 3rd fewest) - 2 Clean sheets (joint top)
I do think the defence looks better with 3 at the back Bournemouth still had a few chances and well Chelsea will be a different test altogether!
Played well against Arsenal, not so against Sheffield Utd, well against Spurs and not so against Bournemouth. So hopefully we will against Chelsea.
The three relegated teams will come Southampton, who should achieve that objective at the third time of asking, Norwich, yourselves, Bournemouth and maybe Newcastle.
