WOOHOO FIRST, SUCKERS

You useless jug eared prat!

How many more humiliations have we got to endure before this prat of a manager is booted out...and his sorry excuse of a chairman.

It doesn't matter who comes in...no one will "thrive" under this archaic system he hasimposed. Tactically he hasn't got a clue. Any manager worth his money can out wit this dim wit!

Watford will be relegated under this prat next season....4-2 at home to QPR, now 4-1 at home to Wolves.

Clappers this is relegation form, make no mistake. As Neil Price has just said, we resemlbe a league one side, not a premiership team. This manager is a joke.

That squad was good enough to get a result, its the idiot manager who is the problem.

Its about time we started to BOO this useless prat...never mind 2nd in the league, we will be nowehere near 2nd in four or five weeks time.

"Lets not panic"....well what else can we do...this awful run shows no signs of stopping and we are in freefall, make no mistake.

Boothroyd has shown he cannot arrest this slump. Unless action is taken and fast next season will see us go down.

King, Bouazza, Young all gone and what do we have to show?

This is disgusting and unacceptable...once more I have been proven right, so lets see what the clapper clones have got to say about yet another humiliation.

BOOTHROYD OUT BOOTHRYOD OUT BOOTHROYD OUT BOOTHROYD OUT!!!!!

Cut the politics style spin and start earning your money Aidy !!
Wat a circus!!

Lets hope there is a reversal of this result next week. Not sure this result says much for our depth but in retrospect probably a good decison to feild a weakened team

Aidy, speaking on BBC 3CR after the game, has said that the players turning out against The Blades 'will be ready and fired up and if not they'll have to go.'

Well, the transfer window is still open.

Colin youre absolutely correct, I go every week for my sins, but couldnt go today thru illness, thank god! Ive never known such a poor Watford Team, even Colin Lee's team attempted to play some football, Taylors 80's Watford were like Brazil compared to this shower!! my god!!! Simpson if you have the gonads, sack Aidy as he's completly lost the plot, you did it to Lewington afterall, let Ashton go aswell, Bring in Billy Davies, he will bring us great momentum again, DO IT SIMPSON BEFORE ITS TOO LATE, MID TABLE BECKONS MAN!!!!!

In nearly 40 years, I have never witness such inept rubbish, a total lack of desire and know how from both a set of player wearing the yellow and a manager totally devoid, it would appear of any idea on how to arrest this shambles. Just hope aidy can get the players he needs this week and a booking on a basic tactic and system course else he'll have to go along with Homer, enough is enough.

Thankyou Colin, whenever Watford perform poorly and we listen frustratingly to Aidys interpretation of how great Watford were,i know i can turn to this site, read your comments and laugh again!Thanks for that:-)

i arranged a meeting with Colin today - but he didnt turn up. Apparently its us that are 'gutless cowards' though.

oh fukc off you idiot. stick to the point: FACT the manager has totally lost the plot and the dressing room.

Were it not for Adam Johnson we would be in serious trouble right now...next season we will be.

So c'mon Simpson, let us knwo what you make of this mess in your next set of programme notes.

Still if you were to sack Boothroyd I doubt very much if you'll appoint anyone of any worth....its only obscure yes men (business agents) that you're interested in.

You are the root cause of this mess my friend and you're alibi - top ten premiership status - is looking increasingly fragile.

You're days are numbered mate.

i agree with most of what has been said. we did however make 6 changes i hear. as someone who thankfully didnt go and had to work can anyone tell me how many changes wolves made?

How many more of these performances are the clappers going to put up with before it sinks into their obviously thick heads that Hoofers hsn't got a clue and should be shown the door asap.Most of the players playing are players he's signed they are rubbish !.Get him out......Please before its too late

I think the decision to rest players was a good one. We're not going to win the cup. However, why Boothroyd persists with Kabba is completely beyond me. Can anyone justify him playing? Can anyone explain why he is in instead of, for example, Ainsworth?

I disagree, a chance of a lucrative tie with the big boys, playing another championship side, second in the table, confidence high.... you watch wolves get liverpool/man u/chelsea away. loadsa money

did we only rest Hendo so he does not get injured so we can sell him! top scorer gone one to go i gues and the other is in Africa and he is not a striker!

Another crap performance and yet more excuses from Hoofroyd.
Aidy has been here long enough to have the players he wants playing the "style" of football he wants.Unfortunately neither is good enough.
There is no point in sacking him now but we shouldn't give him any more money to waste.
The fact that our players of promise haven't progressed sums up our problems.Aidy isn't a good coach.He motivated the team superbly the first 12 months but since then his severe limitations have been exposed.
The structure of the coaching setup needs a complete overhaul.
We won't be able to afford a Hoddle(he might be weird but his teams always tried to play football)but we can afford someone who isn't teaching from the Charles Hughes book of hoofball.Perhaps we could try a Gibbs/Taylor type of duo?

606 will be on five live soon, I suggest that if you want aidy and homer out, then let the nation know!

How thoroughly is Boothroyd preparing for these games?

That we keep getting so convincingly whacked at home suggests to me that the preparation for these games is not as it should be. Are we sending scouts etc to check up on the opposition before these games? Are we even aware of the kind of game plan the opposition will arrive with?

I made the point some time ago that all you here from Boothroyd is sentiments such as, "we've just got to focus on our own game".

Erhh, no. Maybe Man Utd could get away with that, but few other teams.

I bet you that if Boothroyd was asked to put his finger on why the team were successful two years ago he wouldn't be able to. And therein lies the problem.

Ben Foster was the difference over the last two seasons. Now he has gone we are getting regularly thumped, thus exposing Boothroyds team for the kind of lower division rubbish that they are.

Foster, Young, Bouazza, King, Spring, Chambers, Carlisle etc...all gone.

And what are we left with....Williamson, Francis, OToole, Doyley, Stewart, Jackson, Banguara, MacAnuff, Kabba, Ellington....total crap in other words.

Add to that the dreadful football he gets them to play then our current plight becomes very understandable.

Lets sack this useless manager right now. I'd love to see Kenny Jackett and Nigel Gibbs team up at the helm, with Luther coming back as first team coach.

Please, give us our club back Simpson...and fcuk off while you are doing it!

BOOTHROYD OUT BOOTHROYD OUT!!!!!

(aT THE VERY LEAST WE NEED A DIRECTOR OF FOOTBALL).

There were so many minuses about the game today.

Playing Mackay instead of Jackson says it all about the decision to sell Clarke Carlisle.

Priskin and Ellington as a front pairing. One goal between them in 18 months.

Kabba on the wing wearing red boots and looking more like cinderella, and playing like her too.

AB's refusal to play Rinaldi, but gives Bangura a full game even though he's had no match practice for nearly a year.

No game plan.

No game plan.

No game plan.

No tactics but get Demerit to hoof the ball long every time.

It was just awful to watch. Are you listening AB? IT WAS JUST AWFUL TO WATCH. The worst style (or lack of) that I can remember and I've been watching for the past 34 years.

If this carries on , no season ticket for me next year and thats a cert.

Did anyone else hear Aidy's pathetic non-committal brainless wimpish idiotic non-sensical diatribe on 3CR? It was suggested to him that recently the performances at home might not have all been absolutely birlliantly tip-top and magical. Aidy bursts into a flurry of excuses, one of which is "You won't hear me making excuses". Er?...

We would have more respect for him if he just said "Gee - that was WOEFUL. I'm really gonna have to raise my game." Instead he gives the impression that all is rosey in the cottage. What planet, Aidy?

He's young, he has good ability. But he can't cope when things go against him. He's got to learn and stop treating the fans like idiots and grow up.

He needs to get back to basics as he's making stupid, stupid decisions in team selection and he has wasted a huge sum on wages and transfer fees for players that can't even get in the reserves.

In particular, Priskin should be sacked: it must say somewhere in his contract that he must, if selected for a match, occasionally run around a little and at least give the impression of looking interested in the game and the result. If so, we have a cast iron case against him! I would call him a disgrace, but he would need to improve dramatically to reach the giddy heights of being a 'disgrace'.

Arghghghghgh!

We need a good winger before the end of the transfer window. I hear Swindon have a promising youngster called Macnamee....

Not one positive at all today. Talentless and overpaid the lot of them.

This is the slippery slope. We cant trust the manager to bring in any signings to turn the team around.

Looks like we are going to finish about 10th.

I sometimes wonder what game our manager watches cos his view of it was totally different to everyone elses in the ground.

I gave Prskin the benefit of the doubt but after today, he shouldnt play for us again. NE failed again to find the net.

MK must have seen the writing on the wall.

There are those of you that think the manager should go. Well, dream on. The manager will only go when the board go and this doesnt look likely.

A major shake up is needed but we wont get it!

Pi**ed off totally after today.

Colin seems to be posting pretty soon after the match ended. Did he go? Or does he think Aidy will hear him boo from his bedsit.

BOOTHROYD OUT BOOTHRYOD OUT BOOTHROYD OUT BOOTHROYD OUT!!!!!

Let us see what Colin Inconsistency Watcher makes of this post? You cant pick and choose which post to respond to, we await.........

Why do you agree with him? Dont you people realise he wants aidy out, are you stupid or what! Get with the program. Go back to luton Col, we dont want any hatters here. OR IS YOURE NAME STEVE, YOU TROLL!

I sit almost right behind Boothroyd where he sits in the stand staring at his three TV monitors. All he ever spends the first half doing is writing copious notes. Why??? If he was a master tactician seriously making notes about the game and the way it is developing would we not see consistently better second half performances???

No! I will tell you why he makes notes... it is because he doesn't have a clue what he is doing and he thinks that making notes makes him look/feel important...!!!

He is a text book mamanger who thinks that reading lots of books, attending lots of courses...and making lots of notes will make him a good manager. Well, you are wrong Aidy. These things can all help but you have to be able to "feel" the game's heartbest and instinctively know when to change things and how to change things.

Other teams have worked out how to play us now and we do not have an answer. We just keep trying to play the same way...and I use the term "play" very loosely here!!!

Boothroyd has hit the buffers of his ability and if he stays there is only one way we are going from here...and it ain't upwards!!!

Boring repetitive comments from a bunch of whinging no good losers ... we played badly and fielded a weakened team !!! so whats the answer ,,, sack the second most succesful manager watford have had .... derrrrrrr ... you people are thick and pathetic.... And i tell you something now, any off you Colin clones I will be supporting boothroyd even if we finish mid table, not because I think he has done a great job, but because it annoys Colin and the rest of colins **** so much !!! I may even start the Aidy boothroyd appreciation society, and you know what the best thing is ??? with Simpson in charge you have no hope of Boothroyd being sacked, and there is no way simpson is going as he has taken the club from almost administration to a much safer position... Remember where we are and who we are, thats not a top prem club for any one who hasnt worked it out ..... oh and i am loving the fact that Colin is getting more and more abusive and personal, not only does it weaken his opinion it also means he is upset, annoyed, frustrated and he cant do owt about it,,,and that is just great !!!!..
you can all moan about what i say but the fact is I am the happy one at the end of the day, its only football and i can remember far worst times at WFC !!!!
bye bye all from mr Happy and contented ..

"emember where we are and who we are"
That doesn't mean I will ignore the football that is being served up - count how many home wins in the last 18 months.

You also outline that this was a 'weakened' team... full of Boothroyd's signings!

I'm glad to hear you're happy and contented - there has to be one I suppose. you must lead a very sad and lonely life.

you wanna lern how to spell dikhead. if you happy after that you need to havc a chekup from the nekup.;

Hahahahaha poor little hornets.

Yet another manager who disrespects the FA Cup--and even worse disrespects us mugs who buy the tickets that pays the wages!

I couldnt give two sh1ts if colin goes to the game or not. He doesnt go and probably hasnt gone for 5 years but he talks alot of sense that the silent majority are thinking. but because we are 'watford' we better not say anything against the grain!

Hey simpletons did i say i was happy with the performance, no !!,,, how many thickys post on here, And my life is very full with a happy family, 2 kids etc, nice house, and a slightly bigger than average willy !!, and someone that really dont get that worked up by this as much as some of you lot (and have been a season ticket holder for almost 25 years), so who is the sad and lonely ones,, oh and by the way snorepricks there is more than one of me mr yawnsvile, i am everywhere in the stadium and will be there annoying you till the end of the season ..... oh by the way still happy and contented ....

Abuse does no good whatsoever. What is needed is for those with some influence to somehow make the board realise that the style of football that the paying (note that word) public is having to put up with is no better than that that can be found on a Sunday morning park pitch.

Plan A in the first half consisted of winning free kicks around the half way line and getting DeMerit to lump the ball in the general direction of Mackay who was either offside or fouling his marker. There was no plan B. The second half was even more depressing as one realised that there was little point in a plan B as the players (Tommy Smith excepted when he came on) out there were totally incapable of passing the ball along the ground to each other so we might as well lump it and hope.

At half time I asked around me if anyone was happy with what they were seeing or could understand the managers tactics and not one person attempted to contradict me or could see what he was trying to do. If we, the paying (there's that word again) public can see that the tactics are a joke, then why can't the board? No one around me was prepared to defend Bothroyd.

Forget cries of bring in x or y but if you are unhappy as I am then make your case clearly and eloquently without recall to abuse (it does no good and only pushes heads further into the sand) by writing to the paper or the club and contacting 3CR. And remind them that we are the ones who pay their wages.

While I accept that I am out of step with current thinking and, therefore, likely to be in a minority with this view, given the choice I would have preferred to see Watford reach the FA Cup Final than get promoted this season - so, for me anyway, the team’s limp effort this afternoon was particularly depressing. For f**k’s sake, apparently Havant & Waterlooville weren’t carved apart like we were for the third and fourth goals!

A few points before I go away and try and rebuild my life…

Why was Malky allowed to trundle around the pitch looking like the world’s oldest man if Marriapa was fit? Of the two, surely Marriapa would have derived greater benefit from a game.

When is Boothroyd going to accept that Priskin cannot cut it at this level? There are players who look great every day in training but, when it comes to performing when it matters they fall apart. Poor Tamas clearly falls into this category. He reminds me in many ways of Dominic Foley who was highly rated by Graham Taylor but despite being given ample opportunity to prove himself, f***ed up every time he was given a run out. Before him, of course, there was Keith Cassells - obviously talented but just couldn’t make the step up to regular first teamer. In both cases, GT showed that he knew when to call time on a player. Will Boothroyd do the same?

Why did Rinaldi spend the afternoon getting splinters in his arse when Al Bangura was clearly completely off his game?

Trying hard to remain positive, but bloody hell….

One tactic Aidy.
You only got one tactic Aidy.
One tactic Aidy.
You only got one tactic Aidy.......

I'm forever blowing home games.
crap performances everwhere.
Priskins a clown.
Like to kick him when hes down.
Then like our tactic it fades and dies.
Everyone else is always winning.
For tactic no2 Aidy searched everywhere.
I'm forever blowing home games.
crap performances everywhere.

No distraction from the FA Cup now.

The striker he wanted last year has now joined - and the apparently 'wantaway' King has indeed, got away.

He's been allowed to spend good money on a new defender.

We should have some more money to spend.

Heck, we even had a 12-point lead at one stage.

Everything has been in place this season to give us the very best opportunity to bounce straight back to the Premiership.

If we don't, there's only one person that can be blamed.

It's down to you now Boothroyd.

If you don't take us up this season, I doubt you ever will.

And while that may be a concern for us fans, it must be even more so for Ashton and Simpson, whose whole (crazy) 10-year, turning Watford in a top-10 profit-making club hinges on getting back up this time around.

Trouble is, us fans will still be here if we don't make it.

Wonder how many of the 'big three' will stay at Vicarage Road should the wheels have come off by May?

Can the next 10 posters start by saying BOOTHROYD-STAY or BOOTHROYD-GO, so that we can see where opinion lies.
I'll start.
BOOTHROYD-STAY.

Perhaps AB thought no-one would turn up again if we made it to the semis, so we may as well forfeit today's game and cut the expenses. Credit where credit is due but I think after 3 months of this many other managers would have long been moved on by now - and it seems we are (in spite of our league position)in a very deep rut. The quality is awful and entertainment rates at less than zero. Even the better players for their supposed talent look like they'd struggle in a Sunday team. Perhaps a change is the best thing now. I'd vote for Ince or Coleman

I'm forever blowing home games.

Having suffered that utter dross today, I'm not going to upset myself again my saying too much.

But having paid good money to do so, I felt like leaving once the team was announced. What a slap in the face to the 10,000-odd Watford fans who handed over hard-earned cash to watch the dregs of our squad show how little strength in depth we truly have.

However, what alarmed me was tuning in to BBC3Counties before the game to hear the chairman say the fee for King was £3m, possibly rising to £4m depending on various things, such as Wigan staying up.

All those who slated the WO and suggested the story about King's knee and Fulham backing out was a load of rubbish - would you care to tell me, then, why the fee has dropped by as much as £2m?

King was worth £5m, now he could be worth as little as £3m. Either Wigan bargained the hell out of Watford, or there was some other reason why the player's value dropped so much, so fast? (like an injury problem).

By the time we've paid Forest their share and bought Sadler, we'll barely have enough left to pay Collins John's wages until May.

But hey, we're still playing well and heading for promotion eh?!

Come on everyone, clap clap clap.

I've been watching football for years, and it just never dawned on me until today that putting out half a team and getting dicked 4-1 at home in the FA Cup was indeed the best way to get our faltering promotion bid back on track.

No wonder all you happy clappers keep telling us he's the best young manager in the country.

He's certainly adopting an approach that's new, I'll give you that much.

Colin, Were you at the game today cos you were very quick of the mark with your punditary report. Its an observation cos 5.15 suggests you must either you have a modem on you or your sitting in front of your PC at home!Your critiscm is based on your obvious dislike of Aidy. Now, let us know what and who should we should be coached or managed by? I am intrigued to see what you think would be better than our current set up.

I've had it... im so frustarted of having to walk out of vicarage road gutted everytime. If watford do not BEAT wolves next week... Im singing sack the boss i've had it, he's has got no idea boofers and he has no game plan. ' Aidy boothroyd's a football genius ' Yeah Right!!!

That is what is called not respecting the fans that turned up Aidy.

You better sort another tactic out Aidy - the one you had is well and truly pi**ing in the wind.

You have got us mugged off at home so often now - what are you trying to do about it?

We won't even get in the playoffs at this rate.

What was all that about today. Still time to buy a new keeper. Lee caught out and when Poom plays he doesn't know whether to stay or come. He will be off soon as came for first team football. What a dreadful day. We need a few stars pronto, players with pedigree. The purchases who are untried and are to be moulded does not work.Anyway time is not on our side.
The pack is now closing in on the promotion race. It is beginning to look like a mid table finish. It could have been a great season if we had not sold Young etc.

why didn't you meet me like arranged and say that to my face then Colin?

Many of the posters on this site are not supporters of WFC.

The main protagonist never actually goes to a game - just look at the time he posts and then everyone else follows suit.

We played a weakened side & lost poorly, unlike this time last year a cup run is not our only interest and priority this season.

Get real and support the team. Hendo, Smith & Co will be back for Tuesday and next Saturday. Keep the faith and ignore the mindless abusive morons!

No distraction now. Lets hope wba get a hard game in the next round plus a replay.

Come On You 'Orns

What a lot of crap, AGAIN.
How can anyone stick up for Hoofroyd after the abysmal home performances of this season. Winning 1 Game in the last 10 is just not good enough.
Those people who still try to chant his name obviously dont know anything about football or tactics.
Unbelievably some idiots behind me started to chant his name after we had scored our consolation goal, had they been asleep for the previous hour and not noticed how dominant Wolves were.
Wolves looked a poor side to me so what does that make us?
Time for a change before we slide any further, both Manager and Chairman.

I did try and warn you ... see you all next week for more of the same? LOL

Richard - just a couple of points.

Today's weakened side contained players signed by Boothroyd. He has got us to a point where one or two injuries and we'll be fielding a side filled with this lot more often.

When we were beaten at home by QPR, or Plymouth, or Bristol City, or Burnley, or when we lost at Preston, or when we scraped a last-gasp draw with Cardiff, were we fielding a weakened side then too?

Are truly, in your heart of hearts, when you got up this morning and thought about today's game did at any point you think that a 4-1 whipping of any Watford team, weakened or otherwise, would be just what the doctor ordered?

Obviously Boothroyd was happy to take that risk - why else bring people in from the frozen wastes of the Reserves?

I don't care who played, how weak the team may have been, and even if they never play for us again.

They wore the yellow of Watford, our club.

That might not mean much to them, or to the manager, but I really cannot tolerate rank bad football and grim results like this - and have people tell me to get over it and get behind the team.

I've been getting behind them every week for the last three months, and we're getting worse, not better.

Colin, Were you at the game today cos you were very quick of the mark with your punditary report. Its an observation cos 5.15 suggests you must either you have a modem on you or your sitting in front of your PC at home!Your critiscm is based on your obvious dislike of Aidy. Now, let us know what and who should we should be coached or managed by? I am intrigued to see what you think would be better than our current set up.

how about coleman? good enough young manager for you?

Is NEIL a 12 year old? wanting to fight anyone who doesnt share his thoughts.
Is he going to offer to fight anyone who has a go at Boothroyd, cause he will have a big list by the end of season.
What a TIT

Let's face it all, were all pretty unhappy!
Since we signed Mr Ellington for £3.5 thing's have gone bad. First he goes on Hunger strike for 40 day's and 40 night's for £15grand approx a week which would even give ALLAH the hump if he was manager! our man of experience Keith Burkinshaw who has taught Mr Moonball all he know's has left on compasionate grounds, and our old head Gav who we all know as a very average player going has taken all our experience away. We have sold our 3 quickest players in young, bouazza, king who are the only players in WFC with any sort of pace.
We are now a team who everyone want's to play, let's face it a team who throw's their centre half up-front for the most of the game's (Prior to Africa!)tell's you there are no tactician's within the team. Selling our best player's doesn't tell us we are even a slightest bit interested in being a steady Premiership Club.

Why did Rinaldi spend the afternoon getting splinters in his arse when Al Bangura was clearly completely off his game?

When a player has been injured for a while, he needs a few games to get back into it again. While clearly many people disagree with Aidy's priority of aiming for promotion over a cup run, that is what he was doing today - giving some of the B-team some much needed match time. How will they get better if they only ever play in the reserves?

And anyway, why did we put in so much effort to keep Al from going back to Africa if he's not going to get a match?

As Aidy said after the match, a defeat like that is a kick up the backside - didn't we have a good run after getting stuffed by Leicester?

Sure, it's frustrating at the moment, but we're still second, the window is still open, and there are plenty of matches left. I'll wait until the end of the season to see what happens; it could still go either way.

Colin sez!
how about coleman? good enough young manager!
Maybe im missing your ampidexterious answer, His been sacked cos his useless both in Espania and here!
So why do you think we should have him instead! You still did not answer all of my original question, was it that difficult!
Were you at the Game today??

Suffered todays game in amazement.Priskin can be a good player but not as a target man. Kabba was OK going forward on the wing but no help at all defensively. To sub Priskin and Kabba in the middle was nonsense. Rinaldi is our best midfield player who is fit yet he was still on the bench!
McAnuff did some good work in the first half but disappeared in the second. Why persist in two wide players when neither centreforward can win headers??
For some other posters Ainsworth was cuptied.Mackay was slow two years ago and is now not able to use his experience to make up for that.
Aidy made some basic tactical mistakes today and must sort himself out for future games.

For all those mentioning WE played a weakened team i.e 6 players out Can i just remind everyone WOLVES team was even weaker they had out
BREEN,KIGHTLEY,DAVID EDWARDS,SYLVAIN EBANKS BLAKE,CRADDOCK,FREDD
IE EASTWOOD ,but they will all be back next week as for us .... oh dear
BOOTHROYD AND SIMPSON out out out !!!

Ah! The cries of the ancients beckon us back home. Is any inhabited space truly so without that most tender of notions? Why, the hearth, my boys, the sacred hearth!

Good. We are out of the once greatest cup competition in the world. The team selection says all you need to know about the Hornets priorities which were the same as Warnock's in the last round. No farce of a semi final draw like last year which ensured the elite would 'grace' the new Wembley. How is it that i paid a small fortune out of duty only to go to a semi final last year without any feeling of excitement? 20 years ago Watford in the semis was something that wouldn't get out of your head for weeks leading up to it. 16 years ago was the last final that didn't include one of the boring 4. I could name all the winners up to then and remember the games, after that..nothing. bet i am watching the grass grow again on cup final day 2008. Weep not fellow Hornets.

It seems all a bit Star Wars to me, Simpson & Ashton like the two evil Sith lords - Vader & the Emperor and poor Aidy as the young snotty nosed Luke Skywalker not knowing which way to turn after losing his Obi Wan Kenobi(Burtenshaw), well let me help you young Aidy, SACK PRISKIN forthwith, give Kabba a free ticket on the Titanic mark 2, GIVE RINALDI A BLOODY CHANCE, YOU NEVER KNOW HE MIGHT JUST MAKE A FEW DECENT PASSES DURING A GAME, play Poom in Goal till the end of the season and try and get that excellent powerful centre half from Burnley, hmmm, yes Carlise's his name! what you mean you you sold him?? are you mad??? And just like Star Wars there is another hope, yes BILLY DAVIES!!! Evil Emperor,sorry Simpson, get rid of young Aidy and employ a hard **** Scot to sort out that pathetic rabble that currently marquerades as a football squad, do it now if you have the gonads, DO IT!!!!

Personally I think Adie got it right today. We are not going to win the FA Cup and our priority is clearly promotion. Times have changed and many Premiership clubs field weakened sides, as indeed Liverpool did today. We now have one thing to focus on. I also aprecaitte GS comments on the website tonight, MK wanted to go and now the club really can move forward. I expect possibly two signings this week and a different team on Tuesday against Captain Nonse and his over-paid under performing lunt blades. Good call Adie.

With all due respect,you dont know what your talking about! I know Canada is a big country but we are no Liverpool, for WFC to start becomming a Prem side propper (Not some CSL kickabout pub team)we need to do well and put our best team forward for each game to see how we fair up against the best in england. We are not good enough to tinker with our team, we are no where near that level to do so.

"this is relegation form"

HAHA! IT WAS A CUP MATCH YOU AR$E!

I hate this site, I have lost all respect for the Observer and am fast losing respect for certain sections of 'support' who seem to have developed Nottingham Forest syndrome and think we're a huge club who should win all our games.

We are second at the moment in the league but with your lack of support we could sink down the league (I know Colin's lack of support doesn't affect the team though because he never goes to games!)

Wake up and get behind your team or demoralise the team to such an extent they become as bad as you make out they are at the moment.

couldnt wait to get back from game to read all the negative comments and boothroyd out posts, led by colin.
pathetic!

yeah it was a shi* game and we played like donkeys getting rid of aidy aint the answer though who would we get in i dont see any posts suggesting a viable alternative. The window shuts in a few days any new guy would have same players. Aidy said judge him at end of season so im afraid thats what we gotta do.
you lot make me sick a good win on tue and next sat and aidy will be god for you all again. well except colin!!

i know all the aidy haters will slate me but i cant see how changing him now will help. he might have lost it a bit recently but the guy saved us from relegation got us promoted and to second in table. he must have got something right.

yeah im worried about home form and how we play and how its all being run by simpson but i thought things were turning back in our favour until today.

but god guys all this negative crap sack aidy and the board aint gonna help. we need to try and keep the faith give 100% and lets see where we are come may.

Arr, the dork from dorking. Have you actually seen the pile of pony on display lately?

disapointed to see a weakened team but how long can we keep thinking that we are a good team??.sadler had an average game(he will be better than js).doyley was well out of his depth,malky playing today signals the end of matt jackson.priskin is th new powder puff.kabba was one of the better players actually.there does seem to be a lack of ideas on the pitch.other teams have sussed us out now.how come rinaldi didnt get a run out?.looking at the next batch of fixtures i think we will struggle to stay in the top six come the end of feb.at least we played a bit of football in the 05/06 season.watching the liverpool game tonight on motd against havant,they scored two goals and played for the shirt.why cant we play with that fire and passion.it just goes to show that we are a fairly well off club that is punching well above our weight.we seem to have lost the fight and team spirit on the pitch.things need to be sorted out!!!

Steve, if you cant wait to get back to read the negative comment's you know as well as the rest of us we should be doing better. Do you think it is accetable treaveling from 'Tewekesbury' to watch that dismal performance? I'm with you, sack Aidy we must be mad, but he need's a guider 'Keith Burkinshaw' successor he was Aidy's mentor now he has gone we have no brain behind the team. Everyone has forgotten this bloke, half our fans dont even know he's even left.

Absolutely DIRE.

Why play Malky one look and we can guess who ate all the pies...with Shittu away it was a golden opportunity to move Doyley to centre back and Mariappa into right back but the manager wasted it WHY?

Long balls to Priskin and Ellington... wolves said thanks very much Aidy.

Then there was De Merit what in heavens name was he up to...wrong positions failed to chase back etc etc.

I felt sorry for Kabba and Ellington and man of the match Tommy Smith.

Waste of space of the day..Could have match pravtised formations failed to do so and eventually scuttled off down the tunnel..If ever a man is looking down a barrell it has to be Hoofers and after yesterdays fiasco even he will struggle for the positives

So Aidy 'responds' to the "unhappy boo-ers" demands to make changes & we get stuffed 1-4 & they still moan; seems to show the level of their intentions is to hound-out a manager proven by results & level of League achievement to be the 2nd most successful in our history as an edge of London breeding ground for other clubs.
Contrary to some of the posts, I hear that Aidy has not lost the dressing room but there has been a huge sigh of relief that Maroln's situation is finally resolved. Yes, he was a great playuer - but pls remember we paid just £500k for him. i'd have loved £8-10 million but that's not realistic for a 28 year old with just 15 months left on a contract.
Re the game; loosing 1-4 hurts like hell & the performance was poor overall - but what do you expect in a team with 6 changes?
As for this carp above about playing Mart Poom in goal, Richard Lee's been probably out most consistent performer in recent weeks & I'd suggest he is better than Poom.
Tin hat & flame-retardant suit on but I thought Steve Kabba played pretty well considering he's a centre forward not a winger.
The area I do agree we need something done in is centre-mid; we have lots of huff & puff but no creativity and whichever pair starts seem to play across the pitch so there's no holding player to help defend & no-one joining the attack.
Credit to Wolves, the early 1st goal (& it was a superb finish by Keogh) settled them down and meant they could dictate play. Their 2nd was a break-away while we were pressing for an equlaiser; hence the comment re center-mid above.
Call s for Aidy out are NOT going to help change things; there are no other alternatives. Billy davies spent the first 4 months of the seaosn prooving he's a great Championship mgr but can't make it in the Prem - he's more "experienced" that Aidy and had time to build the Derby team he took up last season. Chris Coleman did OK with Fulham but again, the fans forced him out, Sanchez came in & now he's been replaced by Hodgson that took a successful Blackburn side to the bottom of the Prem & resigned before he was sacked.
Guess the point I'm making is yesterday brought hoime to me that the team of the last two seasons has changed so we're now re-building again with new players. Hopefully, that wil lead to some more football being played as we move forward over time.
And for the "unhappy boo-ers" out there; try getting behind the team during the game & be more constructive in your criticism. I bet you don't have thousands of people telling you how to do your job...

I may even start the Aidy boothroyd appreciation society, and you know what the best thing is ??? with Simpson in charge you have no hope of Boothroyd being sacked, and there is no way simpson is going as he has taken the club from almost administration to a much safer position... Remember where we are and who we are, thats not a top prem club for any one who hasnt worked it out ..... oh and i am loving the fact that Colin is getting more and more abusive and personal, not only does it weaken his opinion it also means he is upset, annoyed, frustrated and he cant do owt about it,,,and that is just great !!!!.. you can all moan about what i say but the fact is I am the happy one at the end of the day, its only football and i can remember far worst times at WFC !!!! bye bye all from mr Happy and contented ..

An interesting view,the type of supporter that will be relied on should Watford decide to sell more players in the future.

Thinking that Boothroyd is one of the top young English managers is why there are so many foreign managers in our leagues.Poor Aidy hasn't got a clue about football,although he is able to give out good sound bites but that doesn't give one the brains to evolve tactics.It is not his fault that he has been promoted beyond his competance.Give him a job as our PR man and get some-one in who can lift the team.Poor Aidy has had a charisma bye pass and is out of his depth as a leader of men.

WHAT THE F**K WAS THAT YESTERDAY..
Are you playing mind games with us aidy or what,cos your,e sending me mad mate..
30 plus years watching the horns,and i,m trying to think of a worse time than now for watching my beloved team...
Playing reserves, unfit and old men in the best cup competition in the world,in front of your own PAYING FANS is just not comprehensible..
All you people who keep waffleing on about aidy being the 2nd best wev,e had blah,blah blah,need to have a little think..
He certainly F****d my head up yesterday,so much so i had to double my intake of guinness just to forget the nightmare that was Watford v Wolves

This season I've seen us concede more goals at home to Championship strikers than I did in the whole of last year when the defence was up against some of the best strikers on the planet.

The word 'backwards' doesn't do justice to the situtaion.

If Aidy turns it around from here he realliy is a football genius.

Sadly, I fear he's a <i>lucky buffoon</i>, and will not be here in the summer.

Just be thankful that we will be in the Premier next year,no doubt. What do the Watford fans want pretty football.They wouldn't know it if it kicked them in the face.They have been nurtued on plenty of wellie over the years and have never appreciated skillful football.This is why any footballer with any nous can't wait to jump ship.Be happy to get results that take us to promotion and the dosh that generates.

How is it possible for Rinaldi not to make even the weakened team?

Give the lad a chance Aidy.

I have to agree with most Watford supporters in that Aidy Boothroyd needs to go. If results don't improve in the next 2 weeks then he has to go. I never thought I'd say this about AB but he is tactically hopeless. We don't play football any more and I don't blame the players as they're only as good as the management they receive, and it's obviously not very good at all.

I make 300 mile round trips to The Vic and will not do so again until the board and the manager are sorted out. I refuse to pay good money to watch this drivel and AB is so 'positive' that he cannot see what's wrong with the club and with himself.

The Board need to get this sorted out now BEFORE it's too late.

So why are there so many negative posts...other than because of dire, clueless tactics on the pitch. I reckon many older supporters find this regime quite simply unpleasant and a betrayal of the club heritage. In Aidy's column he simply questions whether another top 2 side would have negative coverage by it's local paper. He appears to simply think it must be wrong, rather than to question the causes. The spin? The treatment of Gibbsy and Chris Cummins and many more. Closing message Boards and threatening legal action against dissenters. Directors pay, etc etc. There are many supporters who cannot accept this type of leadership. Until that is understood the criticism will continue. Carry on the good work KA and the WO.

We succumbed to four goals but in reality it could have been more. Our defence was disorganised and split apart for the second, third and fourth goal by a team that could pass the ball accurately on the ground; something we seemingly cannot do. Their first goal was a well taken lob following a defensive mistake (Malky).
By contrast, we pumped the ball up in the air to Priskin who is never going to win ariel challenges - he didn't have one shot at goal. If Priskin has any ability it is running at defences with the ball on the ground. Only once did he get tha opportunity. Ellington showed some real quality at times - when he got the ball, but rarely was it passed directly to him.
The manager has blamed the players but they are told to play a particular style, which inevitaby means long punts forwards. Richard Lee did not throw the ball out once yesterday. On every occasion he waited until every Wolves player was in position facing the ball. No wonder its not possible to get a passing game going or keep possession.
This style of play is entirely down to the manager not the players. That's why he can't tell us in his post match interviews what has gone wrong and that's why he has to blame (un-named players) to distract from his own inability to develop a style of play that suits the game and the players selected.
In the early part of the season its been the exceptional efforts of individual players that has got us results - most notably Johnson. I don't know what the solution is but the management team have to take responsibility for this awful run

the next 7 days will shape the rest of our season. 2 wins and we will all think we are going up. 2 poor results will see us finish outside top 6.
we realy havegone backwards the last 3 months.
we need a decent midfield player. when was the last time watford had a midfield player that was being linked to bigger/better clubs.
we have had goal keepers, defenders, forwards sold for big money. cannot remember 1 central midfieldplayer. we need one now...

Viafara from Southampton is the answer

Darren in Canada: only at your sort of trans-Atlantic range could Betty Bullsh*t's approach to yesterday possibly be construed as "the right call".

On Friday, he was on the FA website saying how much he valued the traditions of the FA Cup … having already decided, presumably, to play a de facto reserve side the following day.

“The right call”? No way. It was an insult to anyone who paid to go. End of.

All I can assume, Darren, is that the long, dark Canadian winter is playing havoc with your powers of reasoning and recall.

Cliff in Oxford: Coleman wasn't sacked from his job in Spain -- he resigned because of differences with the club's new owner. The consensus was that he was starting to do a very good job there. Moreover, the Fulham fans I know around here wish they'd kept him, in retrospect.

I still hope Betty turns it around and that we come out fired up at Bramall Lane and then again next Saturday. No wins in either game, though, and the momentum of our downhill slide will definitely start to appear unstoppable. :(

AIDRIAN
1st full season no pressure and the long ball worked
2nd season no pressure and we got relegated after a brave season
3rd season EXPECTATION lots of money received from player sales and parachute payments,what do we get? pure and utter crap football served up by one of the FA most qualified coaches.
Boothroyd is a fraud and anyone who supports him is a retard or a luton fan!

Well said Perry,Hoofers comments in his after match interview on 3 Counties were he grizzled that fans expectations were too high were a joke,this man has been found out bigtime and has absolutely no idea how to get us out of this hole.

He has had more money than most watford managers have had and he is doing crap...
All the players that played r adiys signing.
He has losted the plot big time and does not know how to get us out of it..I thought we were meant to have one of the best backroom teams .

Are we becomeing the newcastle or the south? We was pants and i long mr mr spin aidy and the board to go!

Please Go Now Youve done All You Can!

We all have problems with Boothroyd's selections but the worry for me is the loss of both Burkinshaw and, believe it or not, Bassett in the back room to offer experienced assistance. Add to that the chief scout going and you have an inexperienced management team in Boothroyd and particularly MacKay making decisions
about tactics - who watches opposing teams?

I may apply to scout potential recruits in the short term - look over the hedge to Arsenals hungry kids -surely we must have some communication with the neighbours?

what has annoyed me more than anything, is we have to pay `full price to watch the reserves! disgrace! we need some signings and get rid of kabba! sheff utd must be laughing all the way to the bank with that deal. worst signing in the history of the world!!

When we was playing preston i went to see how a legend tommy mooney at walsall instead (a Bit far for me) Though he wasnt playing (injured) I was surpised how good the team played wingers that crossed the ball to the center for starters, And thought, this is little walsall 16 games unbeaten playing better than my own team a league above! Christ says much about aidys lot then!

HOOFROYD OUT!
HOOFROYD OUT!
HOOFROYD OUT!
Aidrian please go you horrible little man!

i dont think so mate.i remember trevor senior and 500k signing jamie moralee.they were proper donkeys.

I think it's a disgrace when clubs field deliberately weakened sides in any competition they enter - especially the FA Cup.

We have a good record in the Cup, certainly in my experience from the late 60's to now. During this time Cup runs have been a notable feature of WFC's history, and are among my most cherished WFC-related memories.

A manager can often take (justifiable) refuge behind the argument that once the players cross the white line, it's largely down to them. However, Saturday's debacle was at least partly down to the manager's eccentric selection. I am trying to choose my words carefully, but I strongly believe this disrespected the competition, the Club's history, and the supporters.

I'm sure my view is going to be seen and read as the ramblings of an old and out of touch supporter. And I know the Cup has been endlessly frigged around with by various influences in recent years, but I had hoped WFC would have been above that.

Hoofroyd must go now,he is so far up his own arse he belives his own bull****,go now before we get relegated
