The World v Carl - Round 13 (Greg Theaker - The Rematch) - NSFW

Rich joins us very upset at the team performance and attitude displayed by the Hornets up in Yorkshire, Neil observes that Ismael does have a “plan B” switching to 3-5-2 at halftime but sees the silly goals given away but eulogises over the third Leeds goal as a well-crafted goal, We discuss what is the expectation for this squad from the fans and more importantly within the club itself. Uncle Ron joins and, on request, pulls out some positives including effort and heart but moves on to criticise the regime but back the manager and even say he is “overachieving” with what he is working with. Tim phones in from the M1 southbound having been Elland Road and echoes Ron’s thoughts wanting to see more pride in the shirt. Seeing Bachmann’s much praised performance as “just doing his job” – he wants to see more cohesion feeling the QPR and Birmingham wins are the outliers in terms of performance. Pete talks about Hornet fan Mark O’Brien attempting a world record effort for Motor Neurone Disease Charities a disease he suffers with. We salute you sir. Boyd comes on having been pleased with elements of the season until today and asks questions of the squad and their individual performances. Ant then joins us with theme tune for the day…… Part Two out in the morning COYH! This Podcast has been created and uploaded by Do Not Scratch Your Eyes.

We're joined by LS11's Darren and talk through Leeds rollercoaster last few seasons which involved erratic Italian ownership, relegation from the Premier League & Players deciding they dont want to play in the Championship - a fair amount in common then!!! Champagne and Gravy, Grazia's tenure and Ken Bates are all covered (not in Gravy) We also discuss Star Wars memorabilia, Darren's radio voice and why he shouldn't really have to put up with such nonsense as the prediction league and then he makes his prediction.

Part Two Charlie suggests maybe we should stop comparing to last season now and instead start looking forward, he questions if we look well coached throughout the entire team and performance pointing out our deficiencies in attacking areas in terms of creating chances, preferring instead to pass backward and cause our own problems in defence. Greg makes a really good debut call, based in the West Midlands, and married to a Baggies fan he bemoans Ngakia and Morris’s performances with Leeds coming up at the weekend. Concerned at our defensive fragility he counters that the Baggies fans near him concerns about Ismael have been disproved and would like to have seen Livermore or Kayembe bought in for Porteous with Sierralta dropping rather than bringing on a nervous looking Pollock. Danny joins (with Becky driving) and review a mixed bag of game and rues the Kone chance to make it 3-2 but review his performance and agree his energy and willingness to go forward see him favoured to start again vs Leeds. We agree that overall Bachmann was a force for good (but we reserve the right to have a look at the free kick). For a drier climate we join Vinnie in Dallas and explore watching the game whilst working Bemoaning the mistakes that cost us goals and ultimately points, Vinnie is still enthused with the football we are playing, and we discuss Rajovic’s XG vs his goals (Pete reaches the end of his knowledge of statistics at this point and starts talking about blowing up the old Dallas Cowboys stadium instead. Louis finishes off the evening excited to find out about new travel options from Watford to Clapham and thinks Bachmann could have done better with the free kick but asks about our fullbacks pushing into midfield and asks – does it work? Enjoying the spectacle of the first half he also asks about the bad quality of distribution of the WBA keeper – perhaps Bachmann’s distribution isn’t SO bad in comparison? We go through the 5 word review and long form reviews as ever with some great comments and observations that offer a barometer of the game issues and opportunities by themselves. COYH!!

The Big Lebofski pops his “Bunker Cherry”, Wendover is described as both sartorial and ill fitting, Alfie Bumface sorts of make an appearance. We talk about the good, the bad and the ugly unforced errors! Some people think we played well, and others see the tempo as missing and the defensive errors that lead to opposition goals as infuriating! Sean asks if we are too hesitant prioritising possession over creativity. Carl brings up “Otters Pockets” and questions what we can do to feed Rajovic who had little service, Ben Pegram recalls an equally wet game at the Womens game on Sunday and meeting everyone at the bunker too. He considers the starting fullback selection and the lack of crossing to be the deciding factors. Alan looks back at progress issues and last season. COYH!!

We finally get to meet the legend that is Kev of "Where's Kev" fame and give him an official appointment! We hear about a chairman taking funds out of a club to fund his other enterprises!! Carlos has problems with the internet, Pete has problems with the name "Carlos" (there are too many apparently) and Justin seems to be having no problems with the prediction league this year - just wait til the last week of the season!!! John combines Backgammon and trampolining and Justin takes issue with Jarvis's backing music this week whilst Ben simply sounds devastated at the scores Jarvis keeps picking out!!

The second half (some will see what we have done there) of RichWFC2's call concentrates on the game and focus on the result but also the performance positives and negatives and asks what are the Watford team at the moment? After a game that looked like we wouldn’t score until the last knockings before exploring with Pete if Luton have yet got a point – it transpires that they have not! Who knew?!? Danny and Mrs Danny join us driving home and collectively campaign for one of the subs to start the next game, love the collective spirit of the team and the impact of ALL of the subs but would like to see us be a little more direct than we were in the first 80 minutes. Ellie comes on and tells us how she celebrated at Colney Heath when Ryan Andrews scored! She then makes a good call about supporting our local non-league sides and appreciating the differences between the different levels of football. Ant joins us with his own match selected entrance music and calls for Martins to be passed to quicker and kept on for longer and implores the team to get more shots away when we have so much possession.

And points out the new rule that a player receiving treatment from a challenge that results in a booking does not have to go off the pitch – which was confirmed in the 5 word and long form reviews from everybody!

Steve and (very briefly Mal) join us from the road hoping for a shorter trip back but very happy to have finally got the win, Charlie joins us to go through both the pro’s and the con’s of the performance but really wanting to see a complete 90 minutes from Martins, Carlos returns from holiday with heart stopping tales of Pina Colada’s, Mike joins us to ensure that we know he will be consoling his Birmingham supporting friends (which is a very nice thing to do!) Paul tells us of the story of his “Ruddy Redemption”, before Uncle Ron joins us to confirm a good result but not enjoying the game and hoping that Jamal Lewis’s promising first outing will the loanee keep out James Morris who Ron doesn’t believe is up to Championship football. Chatting Blues joins us feeling that Luton supporting Keith Stroud was harsh on them with 7 bookings and sending off (to yellow) as opposed to one for Watford despite a fairly even foul count. Wendover joins to point out that the types of fouls made by the visitors justified the bookings but wants to see Watford moving the ball quicker in transition but very happy with the result and the fact that he is having a Chinese takeaway this evening. We hear from Richard a tale about the game but also about his and his family issues with the new bag size limit and the way it was enforced. The discussion moves on to his nephew’s experience as with all young supporters and ensuring that the experience is a positive one. RichWFC2 joins us having spoken positively with Luther about his latest appointment and encouraging Richard to contact him with his tale in the hope that things could be improved in the long term. Fingers crossed. The second half of RichWFC2’s call on the match will start part 2   COYH! This Podcast has been created and uploaded by Do Not Scratch Your Eyes.

Whilst Carl is sunning himself (horrible image to conjure with we know) Pete and Justin talk to Josh from Blues Focus about new American ownership, Bellingham's, New signings, Ground renovations and selling over priced players to Luton. Josh looks on horrified as we launch into the prediction league but swiftly gets to grips with the chaos and with Carl predicting ahead of everyone else there is the possibility of a "Double Desmond". The exciting news is that Jarvis has traded up from bottle tops to plastic cups and is resplendent in his peaky blinders cap! COYH!
