Hello People, Lifetime fan and longtime time reader, sorry for being a stay away (sadly 1 game a season, poor show, shout me down!!) but having watched the game tonight I can still see the long term plan in effect. Vydra is the man, but not the team, but without him training with the others this week and the international duty surely that will take its toll? Palarse chanting didn't help. It became a drone on Sky. I still have every faith that we can remain in the play-off's, which is more than anyone would have ever expected last summer. I have worked around time off work to head to the Sheff Weds game on Tuesday 5th March (again sorry for staying away) but if anyone cares to welcome a new face down and the Y&R Lion? Regardless chaps your banter, wit and humour keep me happy to follow Watford on a daily basis. Thanks for making my working week bearable and be proud that we share the greatest common goal in the world! COYH!!!!

Disappointing of course but taking a point when palace deserved all three has to be seen as a bonus. I thought Hogg was dreadful in possession this evening and was surprised battochio didn't replace him. Thought Hoban did well.

Ah! I see, when they pour a pint (watered down?) they just ring a no sale through the till and put the money in their pockets, great business sense. I think its the way you should run a football club to great success... No? ;D

Have faith brother. We were 1-0 down at weekend and won. 2-0 up tonight and drew. We are 3rd!

2-0 up after 15 minutes yet lucky to escape with a draw. Perhaps Zola showed his inexperience this evening. He did not really make use of his substitutes,particul

arly Battocchio. Perhaps he should have started with Forestieri and Geijo, bringing on the tired Vydra and Deeney in the second half. The defence looked shaky and so did Almunia. Abdi, Chalobah and dear old Doyley were my men of the match for Watford. Hoban also played well. But, I repeat, we were lucky to draw and Zola must learn to use his whole squad.

He can't win. But I'd have Battocchio over Hogg every day, didn't think Deeney had his best and thought Geijo might have been considered.
I dislike Olly with a passion, and think his Ollyisms that the media climax over are twaddle.
Think Hornet Cornet is on the powder, and think JizzHorns needs to get out more often.
Me, I'm depressed at the prospect of the anti brigade expressing their delight at GFZs supposed failure, as they do.
And to the bloke who asked me to sit down, don't ever touch my shoulder again.

The majority of our fans really pi55 me off. They moan when we are doing well. They do not sing when we are doing well. This is a football match FFS Sing & be proud FFS. The 2nd half the players needed our support and they got nothing, nothing at all. pi55 poor support Watford. Surely this is not normal behaviour from 'football fans'. I am sure every club has a few but why have we got circa 10,000 fans with no voice? Are these people real? Our fan base is being compared to the extras from Shaun Of The Dead. 'Your support is fu3king ****' they sing and they are right in the majority of cases. The Pozzo's were there tonight. I wonder what they make of it? Most of the mongs are more interested in what GT would make of it. It's never good when your own supporters embarrass you. Shame on you (if you know you fit any of the above criteria that is!)

Too many misplaced passes in the 2nd half. When we have wing backs in space we need to use them.

Deeney outjumped all night, yet we persisted in giving him aerial balls. We needed a midfield general which a goalkeeper captain can never be.

I think its all been said above by now
but here is my 2 pennyworth.

Zola your obviously a great man and we realise that your still learning the ropes but your (our) team does need a plan B at least and also a C.

After 30 minutes the whole game changed as Palace woke up, what did we do? nothing whatsoever.

Vydra was running on empty and FF
coming on was very poor to put it kindly. Palace must be kicking themselves as they should have put four or five past us in the 2nd half.

no its not a disaster , we got a point and who knows we may have learnt something from it.

Final word for the supporters, what a gold plated embarrassment your vocal support was!!!!!!!!!!
palace were carried on a wave of emotion by their fans,
our mob simply dragged us down.

Can we have 3000 up in Brum cheering us on to victory please

Once a decent knowledgable manager with a tactical brain susses out this watford team Zola is found wanting

Last night had no answer to the constant palace attacks , no clue how to change it , takes off the only goalscorer that could maybe stretch them at the back , yes he was not his usual self but ... brings on the poor forresiteri or whatever his name is ! clueless and cost us the game with his selfish heads down approach losing possession leading to 2nd goal !!

More examples of Zolas lack of plan b, Blackpool away 2 nil up , appleton changes it , lucky we got a point , Charlton at home "tactical changes " 6 odd changes lose the game, Bristol City the disgraceful changing of the team that night , we lose to bottom team with poorest goalscoring record in league

so sorry Zola needs a plan b and c , we are being gradually sussed out , if plan A does not work , we are in trouble , Holloway was on touchline constantly willing his team on , kicking every ball , Zola sat still doing nothing ,poor !

We are some of the quietest fans in the league. I seriously do think that some fans think they have gone to the theatre and not a football match. When we do sing, some of the chants are just embarrassing (but better than nowt I guess). The club HAS to address this by introducing unreserved seating, pay on the day turnstiles to get the crowds up. And the fans, well, we all need to grow some balls and be loud and proud for our team. Through thick and thin. Our support 2nd half was atrocious, beyond belief. We should all be ashamed of ourselves. EVERYONE is responsible.

Being an ST holder does not make someone a better fan than those who can only attend a few games through circumstances.
That stand sounds spot on and the Rug and flask brigade must be barred from entering.

Vic road end whole stand away fans
Lower rous family stand
Upper rous for investment bankers etc
Rookery for season ticket holders
New east stand nothing flash just a standard stand of about 5k taking total up to about 22k
For pay on day over 18 unreserved seating gives everyone a choice and then maybe the like minded people can find their place and everyone will be happy?

Even when they was two goals down the palace fans were all you could hear, as I am sure our fans are when we play away as others have put
They in my humble opinion should if they ever bother make a new east stand pay on the day unreservered seating and maybe over 18 only I know you have to have the future fans but I also would like to go to a game scream and shout and swear without getting dirty looks and with like minded working blokes something that seams to be lacking at the mo...
Everyone will probably slate me saying how can I have an opinion if I don't go etc but I would and so would loads of people I know if it was like that

And I think you are one of a legion of fans who we need to somehow find a way to make it easier to watch games on ad hoc basis.
Being an ST holder does not make someone a better fan than those who can only attend a few games through circumstances.
That stand sounds spot on and the Rug and flask brigade must be barred from entering.

Vic road end whole stand away fans
Lower rous family stand
Upper rous for investment bankers etc
Rookery for season ticket holders
New east stand nothing flash just a standard stand of about 5k taking total up to about 22k
For pay on day over 18 unreserved seating gives everyone a choice and then maybe the like minded people can find their place and everyone will be happy?

Why give the away support a decent view/ stand... Stick our die hards next to the away support..let's have a sing off...as mentioned many times.. Watford take note... Have Vic rd end pay on the day or ticket unreserved area , ... Get someone in there with a drum ... Palarse did... They took the Pi55 ... The chant 2-0 and your support is 5hit was a true reflection...
We need to encourage an atmosphere! Even if we try it for the rest of the season!, I know I would like to choose where I stand (sit)

Deeney was pants last night, he looks overweight and ran like a carthorse, he should have been subbed instead of Vydra and I'm a Deeney fan.
I also think Chalobah is a very good player but he believes he is better than he really is, one day he will become that player but sometimes he lacks the discipline required for the midfield and loses concentration which results in losing the ball.
Saying that I would love to see them start the next game.
I actually thought our support in the first half was vocally very good combined with a good display on the pitch but when we started to throw it away you could feel the anxiety creep in.
Whatever happened to the drummer in the Rookery? Maybe he gave up as well!

He can't win. But I'd have Battocchio over Hogg every day, didn't think Deeney had his best and thought Geijo might have been considered.
I dislike Olly with a passion, and think his Ollyisms that the media climax over are twaddle.
Think Hornet Cornet is on the powder, and think JizzHorns needs to get out more often.
Me, I'm depressed at the prospect of the anti brigade expressing their delight at GFZs supposed failure, as they do.
And to the bloke who asked me to sit down, don't ever touch my shoulder again.

The majority of our fans really pi55 me off. They moan when we are doing well. They do not sing when we are doing well. This is a football match FFS Sing & be proud FFS. The 2nd half the players needed our support and they got nothing, nothing at all. pi55 poor support Watford. Surely this is not normal behaviour from 'football fans'. I am sure every club has a few but why have we got circa 10,000 fans with no voice? Are these people real? Our fan base is being compared to the extras from Shaun Of The Dead. 'Your support is fu3king ****' they sing and they are right in the majority of cases. The Pozzo's were there tonight. I wonder what they make of it? Most of the mongs are more interested in what GT would make of it. It's never good when your own supporters embarrass you. Shame on you (if you know you fit any of the above criteria that is!)

If you don't like what you are seeing at the Vic then pi55 off to the club in Bedfordshire or support Palace who have noisy supporters

I suggest you take your own advice as its your ilk we could do without.
We like what we are seeing football wise, it's the Mongs that are less than savoury.

JonBoy... I guess you are one of the majority who sits the whole match, tuts and moans every time a misplaced pass is made, or a tackle mistimed, in fact are you the bloke who sits next to me moaning he whole match that we pass the ball too much., Chalobah gives the ball away too easily (did you see him drop his shoulder and wrong foot 3 Palarse players?), FF should never play for us...? Apparently he is 'useless'.I guess these comments apply to many, I do think that we can do without your sort...I would rather 6/8000 passionate fans who make the Vic a fortress than near 13k who have just come for an afternoon or evening away from the TV at home..,. Hate to judge, your post is a joke, Mango is an avid supporter who is always behind the team, you 'Sir' I think has just come on here to stir it up.
Fair play to the guys in the Vic rd end who tried to start a few songs... Sadly we are made to feel awkward and we are an embarrassment.
I deliberately stood up at every opportunity during the match... To all around me that became pi55ed off ... Well pi55 off...

Yeah I'm not saying I have all the answers and I doubt anything will change anyway I just know that even though we are playing some brilliant football there aint a flood of fans wanting to come to the games and the reason I don't go is probably the same as a for a lot of people of my age group (25-35)
To be honest I couldn't care less what football we was playing if I went to a game with a brilliant atmosphere. Just seems to me like they have a good plan for the football and that but no plan how to get the fans back
Anyway these are the ramblings of someone who hasn't even been this season so are probably not valid
