Zola will 'put out the best team for the day' against Bolton (From Watford Observer)

I am fast losing faith with GFZ and we may have only got this far despite of him rather than because. The team has revolved around so much that he was bound to eventually settle on the best one. Then, as soon as he does, he changes everything - inept.

Ditto, same for the Charlton game, that's 6 points given away, about 6 point stolen by poor refs etc...12 points on from 49 = 61 & 1st place.

If Zola makes six change's Saturday putting all the settled player's in and we lose, Zola is blamed for not keeping the same team as we played in Bristol.

If Zola make's the change's he did Tuesday and we win, he is a genius

Zola cannot win.

You cannot win every game.

Recently some fan's seem to have got ahead of themselves. We are 8 month's into re-shaping the whole club, we are ahead of schedule and are performing beyond everyone's wildest dream's.

Some fan's also seem to be forgeting that Zola is only his second real season as a manager, still learning and still developing. He is allowed to make mistake's. I make them everyday as will each of you who post on here.

He is doing a better job than anyone on here having a dig at him, so get off his back, give the man a break, get behind the team and stop looking for negative's.

You my friend are surely on a wind up. Just when you think the posts can't get any worse you pop up and treat us to that masterpiece. If you are deadly serious with what you've just said do us all a favour and don't bother coming to anymore games. That's if you have actually been at all this season. You've just shown us what a clueless muppet you really are. Well done son and happy dribbling.

Of course he is entitled to make mistakes....it would just help matters if he either admitted when he had made one or at least stopped banging on about it not being a mistake.
Malky always managed to blame someone else and when Sean took over he was refreshingly honest GFZ needs to decide which way he needs to go.

He has the players, has got them putting in good performances with no distractions from cup runs now he needs to stop the tinkering and steam up the table.

Did you really expect Zola to burn out the first team by ploughing them through a hectic run in? Did you really think anyone give two tuppeny-****s about your ridiculous and shortsighted opinions? I need a godamned beer.

Don't bother coming to watch then. Fast losing faith with Zola?! Unbelievable. Are 4th in the league or 24th. Some of our fans make me weep.

Strange how all these types of posters come out when we lose ONE GAME. Judging by the comments above, it seem that many believe they know more about football, and more about individual members of the squad than the manager who played football for a decade! We don't know how match fit each player was before the Bristol game, Gianfranco did. He put out a side that he thought could win the game and on paper, they should have.

We're 4th in the league and playing beautiful football. GZ has got players like Doyley and Nos adjusted to this new style quickly and they look comfortable. He's done a great job so far.

End of.

In past years we where known as look up in the sky team almost a laughing stock. Whos laughing now ?? There are no easy teams in the championship so the clearer people comprehend that the better. No givemes.True happy days at the club. Have Faith.

It is the players that have achieved the success, not him. With a squad as good as this, a monkey could have done what he has done.

Burnt out? Perhaps we should change our name from the Hornets to the Pansies and change the strip to Pink.

i find this post depressing. What causes this delusion, this separation from reality? It is not a case of having lost one game. Why is that people on here seem to misinterpret and misunderstand. Losing a game is football. Losing a game is part of the process. I listed all the factors affecting a game yesterday for the hard of hearing. That isn't the point. The pointy is that this was totally self inflicted. An absolutely inept managerial decision. We'll do ok AS LONG AS GFZ LEARNS FROM THIS.

If Zola admits to all his mistakes, he will be called a softie. If he doesn't admit to them he is labelled arrogant! Looking at the team they were more than capable of winning! I would rather have fessi and hey Ho than iwelumo and garner!
Our weakness was in midfield, all the players were watfords own and as such could not create enough chances! I would rather see Nathan, Christian and almen tearing the pitch apart than Hogg and Eustace (never thought I would say that earlier in the season) this team has come a long long way in a short amount of time, we lost to a good resurgent team on a tricky pitch in awful weather. I am going on Saturday and bringing two mates who support spurs and Chelsea, why? Cos the football being showcased at the Vic is decent enough to not only entertain our fans but also fans of other clubs (plus they can help pay for the stupid parking charges) :P
Loving Watford this year.
Love the fact we haven't lost any players in January.
Love that we are top scorers.
Love Zola and the pozzos.
Have faith people and stop the bloody bit ch ing!

No givemes.True happy days at the club. Have Faith.

It is the players that have achieved the success, not him. With a squad as good as this, a monkey could have done what he has done.

I'm really beginning to dislike you East Sussex Hornet.

East Sussex Horn, to state the obvious a manager picks the side he believes can win the game.If they lose the odd game that does't make him a bad manager.If the goalkeeper makes the odd mistake and concedes a goal,that doesn't make him a bad keeper.If the centre forward misses an easy chance from six yards that in itself doesn't make him a poor striker.Zola had to contend with these issues on Tuesday.When players cross the white line they take responsibily for their performance not the manager.Sometimes you have to say'we wern't at it' and the best team won.We as fans see the players at best 90 minutes per week,the manager sees them 6 days a week.In Zola we trust.

Garbage. Utter garbage. It was a weaker team and consequently we lost 3 points and the chance to go second. Does Zola think the fans are fools? Hog out

Hog out

Ditto, same for the Charlton game, that's 6 points given away, about 6 point stolen by poor refs etc...12 points on from 49 = 61 & 1st place.

Not entirely accurate. In the Charlton game we were without the services of Hall and Nosworthy. So, Neuton came in and Ekstrand moved into the centre.

Yes, he played Geijo and Forestieri but we scored 3 goals !

I was annoyed as much as anyone Tuesday night, no one likes losing and I am sure Zola and the players were hurting as well but come Wednesday morning I was in the Hornet shop buying a shirt, I'll be there Saturday cheering the team! and I don't care who is playing as long as we win.

Did you really expect Zola to play the same team until someone beat us?

Did you really expect Zola to burn out the first team by ploughing them through a hectic run in?

Did you really think anyone give two tuppeny-****s about your ridiculous and shortsighted opinions?

I need a godamned beer.

NOOOOOOO ! Granada is in Spain and The Spanish love to party till all hours and eat and drink from 10pm until the early hours. That would be like putting a kid in a sweet shop. What he needs is a Dad or a mentor that's prepared to kick his f***ing arse and point out to him that thousands of kids would kill to be in his advantaged position.....spoiled brat !

If Zola make's no change's on Tuesday in Bristol and they player's are burnt out for Saturday and we lose, he is blamed for not resting player's.

If Zola makes six change's Saturday putting all the settled player's in and we lose, Zola is blamed for not keeping the same team as we played in Bristol.

If Zola make's the change's he did Tuesday and we win, he is a genius

Zola cannot win.

You cannot win every game.

Recently some fan's seem to have got ahead of themselves. We are 8 month's into re-shaping the whole club, we are ahead of schedule and are performing beyond everyone's wildest dream's.

Some fan's also seem to be forgeting that Zola is only his second real season as a manager, still learning and still developing. He is allowed to make mistake's. I make them everyday as will each of you who post on here.

He is doing a better job than anyone on here having a dig at him, so get off his back, give the man a break, get behind the team and stop looking for negative's.

Strange how all these types of posters come out when we lose ONE GAME. Judging by the comments above, it seem that many believe they know more about football, and more about individual members of the squad than the manager who played football for a decade! We don't know how match fit each player was before the Bristol game, Gianfranco did. He put out a side that he thought could win the game and on paper, they should have.

We're 4th in the league and playing beautiful football. GZ has got players like Doyley and Nos adjusted to this new style quickly and they look comfortable. He's done a great job so far.

End of.

He knows he made a mistake and attempted to take advantage of the bottom team and came unstuck. He could have rested players but without so many from the outset changes and we would/could have won the match. If it had worked out for him - Geijo getting his header in at the start would have probably meant we would have gone on to win comfortably and he would have been a genius. It was wasted opportunity but not the end of the world. Trouble is that us as supporters are now getting greedy. First 10 matches we were calling for Dyche back, next 10 matches we are calling Zola a god, now we are back to saying he doesn't know what he's doing, yet we are in fourth place challenging for an automatic promotion spot straight after Christmas - people need to have a reality check and say well so far so good - didn't think we would be doing this well.

I find Eastsussexhornet's comment that he is "fast losing faith" with GFZ amazing, and to then go on and say that "we may have only got this far despite him than because...." equally incredible. This is the sort of attitude you get with multi-billionaire Premier League owners using the club as an ego trip and personal toy - sacking the manager after a brief poor run. My God, we've just lost one game for all sorts of reasons, not because GFZ has suddenly become a bad manager.

Lets get behind Gianfranco because I reckon he is doing a great job and he is backed by the best owners we have had for many, many years. They are real football people and I can't remember being so positive about my team since the 1980's. If they were unhappy with GFZ it would be for very strong reasons and we should trust them to do the right thing for the long term good of the club. I think that so far so very good.

What a splendidly entertaining exchange of ideas and perspectives! It seems to be human nature to delight in the 'worst case scenario' whilst indulging in vain posturing. Really, we need to get over ourselves and have a reality check - we're doing fantastically well at the moment and it's work in progress. No one really thought we'd be where we are at this stage of the season. Zola has brought together a disparate group of players and made them in to something really good. We need to get behind the team and encourage and support - people visibly fade and shrink in to themselves when faced by vitriol and opprobrium. Let's share some good thoughts and send out positive energy tomorrow, we all need a little love!

Yeah flower power in the Vic to our already 'special' fans

We're 4th for God sake and playing some of the best football we've ever played, get off GFZs back. I'm starting to believe that a lot of the comments on here are actually from L*t*n fans trying to stir up the hornets nest.
