TALKING CLEVERLEY - THOUGHTS BEFORE DERBY

TC talks through his thoughts following the draw at Cardiff and talks about new loanee James Abankwah and the challenge of managing a club on an ever reducing payroll in the Championship, as many Championship teams are having to do. He also answers probing questions (from Andrew French of the WO) about the front line exposure should our one experienced centre forward be injured in February, if we don't sign someone in the window.

POST MATCH PHONE IN - PT 1 - CARDIFF CITY 1-1 WATFORD

PART ONE of the fan reaction following the late equalizer away at Cardiff after a mainly dull game. The Hornets went up a gear when finally conceding a goal and after a strange couple of days, its nice to talk mainly football. COYH!!!

THE OPPOSITION VIEW - Derby County (Away)

We chat with Jake from RamsTalk about all things Derby and find out about injuries meaning small midfielder, a manager that splits opinion but wears a bobble hat very well, whatever happened to a wing back that was all the gossip once upon a time, Justin has bad wifi which results in him mispronouncing former Watford players and Carl is still recovering from the best and worst waxwork museum that Poland can provide! Oh and there's a game going on at some point and if you get to it early enough o...

WHY SUPPORTING THE MANAGER ISN'T A REVOLUTIONARY CONCEPT?

After the reaction to the X/Twitter Spaces asking for supporters to email the club to show their support of the manager, Justin, Carl & Pete discuss why it was felt necessary to conduct the spaces and ask for the show of support for TC and his team and look at how the relationship between the club and the manager is pivotal and how Graham Taylor viewed how a manager should be supported. Includes a small bonus repeat of a section of a podcast Pete refers to where we spoke to Malky MacKay and ...

SUPPORT TOM

We decided to run a sort of emergency spaces (which we don't tend to do unless something has happened, however having had a number of sources triangulate, Pete opened up a Twitter/X Space to attempt to leverage support for the manager from the fans as this appears to be in short supply within the board or ownership of the club. Tom is more than simply another manager bought in to the club, he has bona fides at the club and with the fans like few others. The summer saw the transfer window complet...

POST MATCH PHONE IN - FULHAM 4-1 WATFORD FAC R3

No Agenda Podcast - with added drivel!!

A podcast with no set agenda: Before Carl flied off to Poland the boys discuss various nonsense things and try to respond t questions some which even touch on football - but most are reassuringly random. Justin wants to join the Beatles, Carl thinks Flitwick is in the Middle East and Pete carries on his infatuation with Geri Horner-Halliwell. DNSYE showing no improvement since 2020!! COYH!!!

THE OPPOSITION VIEW - Queens Park Rangers (Away)

Richard Honey joins us again and kidnaps the podcast with a level of preparation that this podcast has never suffered from in the past, we squabble about how much Gary Penrice did or did not cost but Justin is adamant it would have been more expensive if bought from Portabello Road Market. Alexa makes another dog like appearance and we discuss whether we want the unbeaten home run before we face that lot up the road in February!!
