Lousy and listless at Leeds: a wake-up call for Watford
DCW, Mike and Charlie reflect on a chastening afternoon at Elland Road for Watford on Saturday, as the Hornets lost 3-0 to Leeds and delivered a performance that offered barely any positives.
We pick apart the dismal display, look at whether Valerian Ismael got his team selection right, and we attempt to work out how we should all be feeling about this team after 8 games that have provided plenty of ups and downs.
There's also a look ahead to a big week for the Golden Boys starting with the visit of surprise strugglers Middlesbrough to the Vic on Saturday.

A Midday Misfire for Watford - Watford 0-1 Blackburn
We can sit here, at least Mike would, and quote that Watford haven't scored a goal since the 43rd minute of the opening game... about 230 minutes. But Mike is on holiday so Jon, Jason, Jordi and DCW gathered post match in Mad Squirrel to disucss the match, the changes - some enforced, some the choice of Valerian - the difference performace in the first and second half plus how the players got along, particulary the latest signing Mileta Rajovic and what led to the the 0-1 home defeat.
We also refelct on the 20th Anniversary of the passing of Jimmy Davis and the recent passing of Watford goalkeeping legend Andy Rankin.
This is From The Rookery End... out a little earlier because of Bank Holiday commitments.

Subdued at Stoke: the search for a striker continues...
DCW is joined by Mike and WD18's Charlie Zazzera to reflect on Saturday's 1-0 loss away at Stoke. We pick the bones out of a largely lacklustre performance and attempt to take the temperature of the new season after a win, a draw and a loss in the first three games. The lack of goals in the last two matches comes into sharp focus as we assess the ongoing search for a new striker and look at the type of player who is likely to fill that particular need.
We also check in on the women's team ahead of their opening game of the season against Durham on Sunday, and we look ahead to the men's outing against Blackburn Rovers on the same day, in this, the latest edition of From the Rookery End. Come on you ‘Orns!

Customer Reviews
It’s an age thing!
You lads seem to know how I feel about the way things are going at the Vic with every show! I stood on the terrace watching in the 70’s as a 10 year old, and now listen from my home in Cornwall watching though your eyes, knowing every week you will be fair and to the point! Keep up the great work!
Still Fresh
After about a decade of listening to the guys I’m finally leaving a review. The reason it’s stayed fresh is because they often disagree, and not in a contrived way, and usually keep things in perspective—something appreciated by a fan whose first match was when we were in the third tier.
My one piece of constructive criticism would be to please put less emphasis on what people are tweeting; Adam has otherwise been a fantastic addition to the pod.
Here’s to another decade.
Love it
