DNSYE - HORNETS TOGETHER - CSE TRUST PROJECT

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!

We start part two by look at a defeat to that lot up the road (don’t worry we don’t do that EVER AGAIN!) and discuss when a dressing room has favourites but also a cautionary tale of playing youngsters too early in the wrong game, although sometimes unavoidable with a small thin squad (sound familiar!). Derek talks us through how injuries can affect your mood and ultimately a player’s career. We discuss the number of different forwards that Glenn Roeder was forced to field from the bench, on loan and from the youth team to try to cover for the loss of Paul Furlong sold to Chelsea. We chat about Craig Ramage whose confidence and technique lit up the performances for many supporters and also laugh about Craigs constant struggle with gravity in the opposition’s penalty box. Transfers, tactics, injuries, the depth of the squad in the mid-nineties and the good side of agents now are discussed. Derek’s post Watford career, move back into non-league and coaching plus move into radio and co-commentating and the lads offer tips as to how to not to co-commentate are covered and finally we ask about a certain nickname.

We talk to Derek “Freddie!” Payne who played for the Hornets in mid 90’s in a team that was very easy to like due to the characters in it. We here about how Derek’s love of the game started and how his Dad took him to Vicarage Road before taking him to QPR. From his journey through Southampton’s academy and dropping into non-league, blaming Les Ferdinand for getting signed by QPR, to gaining promotion to the league as captain with Barnet and stories of fights with motivational Barry Fry and tales of tables of cash with the    notorious chairman Stan Flashman, getting to the Championship with a very strong Southend United side including Tommy Mooney and Jason Lee  – Derek shares the up’s and down’s of trying to make it as a pro footballer in the game including the difference between a Barry Fry side and a Peter Taylor side. We find out how players were tapped up before mobile phones and the internet and how, somehow, it involved a caravan holiday! We cover the advent of the midfield diamond which had some very revered players in it but resulting in a lack of wingers which, Derek observes, may have contributed to a certain forward failing to fire! We remember a first season which saw us play Jurgen Klinnsman’s Tottenham team three times including a massive preseason game and a ding dong two legged League Cup tie (Ian Walker tainting his Dad’s good name at Watford!) that we watch with Derek and the memories come flooding back. Coming soon Part 2 We watch some of a game that we would normally block out the memory of… and talk about the politics of the dressing room and at football clubs, dealing with periods on the sidelines with injuries, a certain nickname, coaching and radio work.

Justin, Carlos and Pete reflect on the first month of the season in terms of results, performances and transfers and or the lack of them. We ask the question asked by Steve in terms what people want the club to be. As its international break we obviously discuss the possibility of Paul Ince becoming a new manager and how upset that will make Pete. Questions about Bachmann, Captaincy and the Coventry game are given the usual inadequate discussion before we start banging on about Nice “N” Spicy Nik Naks and other bad breath inducing corn snacks and whether Carl has been vinegarized. Justin is challenged on how many legendary goalkeepers he can remember, and Pete argues that Steve Sherwood deserves legendary status for keeping other goalkeepers at the top of their game. Favourite draws and worst own goals and strange goals are recalled (Pete’s all come from about 1920!), Where do we stand on peshwari naan’s, why restaurants seem to be trying to kill Carlos and which of your hosts is a member of the Prawn Sandwich brigade?!? We chat about the futility of entering the football content awards despite Justin’s protests (and a big thank you to everyone who has voted for us), Carl wants to get a tape measure to see how big everyone’s tripod is. Pete momentarily tries to remember that this is a vaguely football related podcast telling us all about the womens games so far this season before Carl asks if we know about elbow skin and well... something else…… COYH!

Alex laments going ahead 3 times and then giving away three extremely avoidable self-inflicted equalizers and disagrees with Pete’s continual plan to “un-invert” everyone, Jason joins us having enjoyed the rollercoaster of a game and points out how Sierralta’s game changes after a yellow card. Wendover joins us in the glass half empty camp after being disappointed with the lack of incomings in the transfer window and asks can we play Man City football with the players that we do have without hurting ourselves as much as the opposition. What happened to the direct approach that Ismael was known for and questions the wall for the first equalizer, Pete starts talking about the blind back pass and why you don’t do that in your own final third (like everyone doesn’t know that!). Ant joins us with his own classic theme tune from 80’s and tells us about trying to follow the game via normal radio and only get snippets as the mainstream media seem unsurprisingly uninterested in a mid-table Championship match. Alan joins us having attended an FA Cup Qualifying round game at Sherwood Colliery and discusses strange words never heard before – what an earth is “a neutral foul”. Pete bangs on about sin bins in womens football and asks if understands anything about the game but fortunately Alan explains the background to this, but the “neutral foul” is still a mystery as Alan couldn’t understand the locals! Mike comes on completely horse from shouting at Coventry and compliments Coventry’s Palmer and asks why we didn’t try to stop him, says good things about Bayo and tells us about his charity running. We go through the 5 word and long form reviews as always. Thanks as always to all the contributors, listeners and of course lurkers! COYH!
