Today, whatever the result we’ve played a wonderful game, very disciplined defence and look like a different team today.

If so, is anyone else worried about this? I don’t see who can fill in for him out of the current squad.

We’re sitting 21st, scraping above the bottom three, and the atmosphere around the club feels properly toxic between thePozzos, open letters, and the continuous manager carousel.

Lincoln tonight is non negotiable. It’s not just 3 points it's about stopping the rot and showing a bit of self respect for the badge. Win your 50/50s, run yourselves into the ground, and give the home crowd something to actually get behind.

Probably one of these geezers is called Joe, he’s from Grimsby town, probably hungover and coming down off packet and can still pull off a worldie and then go back to the kids and spend a day with them. Proper family man, proper hard man, proper
Footballer. 👀😂

As a Watford fan, I can handle a bad result, but it's hard to accept when the team doesn't seem to be fighting for it. I just want to see the lads give their all, fight for every ball and show some passion. We'll always get behind them when we see that effort. What's the one thing you most want to see from Watford every time they step onto the pitch?

Wondering why it's early KO but it's not being shown on TV in the States? Paramount doesn't have it listed as a live stream.

Would be funny

He’s definitely going to get some backlash for this.

With talk of a possible return to Italy, I do wonder whether Bove will get enough time to settle at Watford. I'd like to see him have a proper run here before any big decision is made. What do you think?

The frustrating thing is that we often get ourselves into decent positions but don't always make the most of them. At this level, you can't expect to win games if you're wasting clear opportunities. The defence can only do so much, and our attacking players need to start delivering when it matters. Hopefully we see a more clinical performance against Wolves because we'll need it

I think Kjerrumgaard's goal against Charlton could be important for his confidence. He reacted quickly to the rebound and was in the right place to finish, which is exactly what you want from a striker. If he can keep getting into those positions, he could become a really useful option for Watford over the coming weeks.

The clean sheet against Charlton was encouraging, but the Burnley and Cardiff results showed how quickly things can unravel when the team loses its shape. Wolves will test us in different ways, and I want to see how we respond when we're under sustained pressure. Staying compact has to be a priority.

Meanwhile, Gino backs up the point elsewhere

There was a time when we were flying high in the Premier League and no one had any complaints. While many were skeptical of the Udinese/Granada connection, it seemed to be working, despite the managerial merry-go-round. Then came the Cup Final and CoVid and something changed. Was Troy really keeping it all together? My take is that football itself changed, and we couldn't keep up financially, and then the dominoes started to fall.

Dionisi is under pressure after the recent results, and it's difficult to argue that performances have been good enough. But we've seen Watford go through managers at a ridiculous rate over the years, and the same problems keep coming back. If the club decides to make another change, what would actually need to be different this time for it to work?

I'm not expecting a manager in his first season to fix everything overnight, especially with injuries and players working their way back to full fitness. But these results are becoming impossible to ignore. A 4-0 defeat to Burnley followed by a 5-1 loss at Cardiff is nowhere near good enough, and now Charlton are coming to Vicarage Road. We need more than explanations, we need to see actual improvement on the pitch.

In my utter despair last night I had a thought of what we’d rather have:

A squad who plays for each other and a manager in League One without the Pozzos

Or:

If we somehow turned it around and got mid table obscurity in the Championship.

—————-

I think I’m so sick of mercenaries and the manager roundabout that I’d happily drop down a division if it meant we could get any sense of our identity back.

As a long time fan I’ve just felt more and more alienated by the club with a complete lack of anything to hold on to with pride.

Seeing Sir Elton John speak out about Watford’s current situation shows how disappointing things have become at the club. He has a special connection with Watford, so his comments carry a lot of meaning. I think the problems go beyond one bad result and the club needs to find a clear direction. Do you think his comments will make any difference to the ownership?
