    Geez....whenever I watch FLS...if I bother to watch beyond the Championship there is a sudden but massive drop in goalkeeping quality rofl. Some comical stuff.....

    Watford fan said 10/10. npower Football League Thread 2011/12 - Page 11 914411

    Well I think that we've had a great season when you consider that many thought we'd be relegated...but I wouldn't say 10/10. First half of the season was 6/10.....second half 9/10 Cool I predicted that we'd finish 12th at the start of the season...so finishing 11th is pretty good Smile. Selling Graham, Buckley and Cowie leaving at the start, plus Sordell being sold in January.....and STILL getting more points than last season sums up how well we did.

    I would like us to get Kuszczak permanently......but if that doesn't happen then I hope that Loach can do a job. He made so many howlers this season that David James looked solid...but his shot stopping is good so he has potential :/.

    Troy Deeney 20 goals next season for sure....and Murray 15 What a Face

    IT was a game that summed up Watford's season, according to the club's manager Sean Dyche.

    "Players get you the sack, they say. I don't agree with that. I love my players, I really do," he told watfordfc.com after full-time.

    "The reason is because I felt they showed all the characteristics during that game today, which have held us in such good stead across this year.

    "Winning today was a great achievement, but the overall picture of an 11th-placed finish and 64 points is an achievement which makes me very, very proud indeed of this group of players."

    Never usually given to superlative or hyperbole, Dyche was in understandably ebullient mood about his team.

    "This match characterized the season, in my opinion. Our mentality has been exceptional.



    "We can't fight with big-money signings but what we said we'd do was mould together a squad of developing players and young lads coming in looking to impress.

    "I'm proud of the will, the demand, the honesty from this group. There's no way results can be guaranteed but we've gone towards winning every match and I think that approach has paid off."

    Dyche's admiration for his players was palpable - and why not, quite frankly?

    "We've proved ourselves a team to be reckoned with. There's still more to come from us but the players can be very proud of what they've achieved.

    "And our fans can be proud, too. They've stuck with us through some sticky patches and it was great to see them enjoying themselves today."

    Dyche not worthy

    We were absolutely shocking yesterday. Though saying that Hereford only had a few chances, that were gifted by us mostly. The mood was awful until Crewe scored meaning it's still in our own hands for next week. Win and we're there. Focus on our own game, don't worry about Southend and Torquay.

    Was in the presence of Steve Coppell after the game in the stadium suite, as well as Dannie Bulman and Gary Alexander. Saw Sergio Torres outside on the way to the car, my Dad said good luck for next week to him. Laughing

    Accrington are very winnable. Lately they have been playing experimental sides, and have lost 4-1 to us and 5-1 to Bristol Rovers in their laat 3 games.

    Hopefully they're feeling generous next week. If we treat this like we've treated the FA Cup, then I could see us stepping up to it. Need to play our strongest side possible, that means starting Watt and Neilson.

    At the time from where I was it looked as though the scorer was offside. I haven't watched it back on TV yet, haven't had the chance, but Kuipers may have been further up the field than the scorer so he wasn't offside. Their first was poor as well, but the third was a good finish and we just split open at the back.

    As it stands our play off games are on:

    Sunday 13th May @ 12:00:
    (6th) Cheltenham v Torquay, Crawley or Southend (5th)

    Thursday 17th May @ 19:45:
    (5th) v Cheltenham (6th)

    And

    Sunday 27th May @ 15:00

    For the final if we make it.

    I'd like either Torquay or Crawley for the Semi Finals. I'd imagine they'd be low on confidence after misssing out on the top three at this stage of the season.

    About 10th, 11th really. I don't think they have enough about them to push for the Play-Offs just yet but I think they will stay well clear of relegation. I think the same for Scunny and Bury.

    Not money troubles, but the owner is putting in a lot of money just to pay wages and stuff and running the club. We're cutting the wage bill a lot next season so we'll be okay financially.

    Oh, hopefully you can cut the wage bill down than. Did you go to the Preston 0-0 Scunthorpe game earlier this season? I went, thought it was a pretty nice game but I thought a draw was a fair result. You best player is Ian Hume in my opinion. A bit of a dirty player but he works for his team and leaps very high for a small man.

    Yes I did, although I can;t remember a lot of it shifty doesn't stand out for me as a great game, only thing I remember was Parkin clattering into Stuckmann.

    Hume isn't dirty, he just puts 110% effort in and works very hard. Shame he and Mellor have been injured for half the season, that's ultimately what got Brown sacked.

    The signs this moth have been positive regarding Westley. No hoofball shite, good results and football against Huddersfield, Charlton, MK Dons and Stevenage. Hopefully we can build into next season.

    The main thing that happened in the 0-0 was an offside goal for Preston but it was clearly offside so it didn't really matter. Scunny also had numerous chances to score but we didn't take them.

    Thought you would, haha. It was the game where your fans had them bang stick things that make noise.

    Just a funny thing from Last Season away at Preston. When one of our players fouled a Preston player, some of your fans started to chant "Dirty Yorkshire Bastard!" So all Scunny fans responded with jeers because we are not from Yorkshire. Than when we went 3-2 up and won we all chanted "Yorkshire, Yorkshire" as a joke. Ah the Championship, good memories. Worst game that season was when we lost 3-0 to you at home and Baraclough got sacked.
