From The Rookery End - A show about Watford FC

Show Notes

Watford followed up victory over Southampton with a hard-earned point at Wrexham – and four points from the opening two games feels a long way from where many of us feared we might be.

Jon is joined by Kieran, Jordi and Adam Drury to pick through the 1-1 draw at the Racecourse Ground. They discuss another impressive performance from Iker Bravo, whether Luca Kjerrumgaard can build on his first goal of the season, Albert Eames stepping into an increasingly stretched defence and a Watford side that suddenly looks like it's playing for each other.

There's also the changing mood among supporters and why Alessio Dionisi appears to be winning people over so quickly. But with the squad being pushed to its limits and the transfer window entering its final days, can Watford keep this going without reinforcements?

Plus, a look ahead to what could be a very different Watford XI against Peterborough in the Carabao Cup.

This is The Weekend Debrief. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
