SportSpyder - The Latest Watford FC Podcasts

A four point week, but are Watford still in Crisis?

YellowSquared — Tue, 10 Nov 2026 17:00:00 GMT

A win at home to Lincoln followed by a draw against Middlesbrough all while keeping two clean sheets may suggest Watford have turned a corner...

Yet Ned and James are back to discuss the performances, neither were inspirational, which leads to a deeper question. Is Dionisi in the midst of crisis management at the club for fear of losing his job?

Quietly, a few players have begun to put a few decent individual performances together - The boys discuss how big of a factor confidence and mentality is to this side, as well as the additions who may re join the matchday squad after the international break.

Enjoy!

RECYCLED, REUSED… DON'T REPEAT! 😂 The drab plastic bag shirt derby | Luton 2 Forest Green Rovers 0

They Tried To Kill Us Off — Mon, 09 Nov 2026 00:37:34 GMT

We won the game, we're into the next round and that's it.

Luton Town made it through to the second round of the FA Cup with a 2-0 victory over Forest Green Rovers at Kenilworth Road. But it certainly wasn't a performance to set the pulses racing!

Kev is joined by The Lutonian journalist James Cunliffe to dissect a cup tie that was, at times, a tough watch, with the lads discuss:

- Why Luton struggled to reach their usual levels
- The positives from a comfortable cup victory
- The players who stood out and those who struggled to make an impression
- Whether seven changes disrupted the team's rhythm
- Why Forest Green made life difficult for the Hatters
- The bigger picture: how has Luton's season gone so far?

All this, your comments and plenty more on They Tried To Kill Us Off, the award-nominated independent Luton Town podcast.

A Point Worth Celebrating. A Situation Worth Questioning

Watford 0-0 Middlesbro | Post Match Phone In

Do Not Scratch Your Eyes — Sat, 07 Nov 2026 19:29:00 GMT

An injury/suspension-ravaged Watford side produced a performance full of heart, determination and no little bravery to hold high-flying Middlesbrough to a 0-0 draw at Vicarage Road. Federico Ravaglia was outstanding once again, while unlikely heroes Edo Kayembe, Martín Payero and Kevin Keben earned praise from supporters more accustomed to questioning their contributions. There was precious little attacking threat, but organisation, discipline and sheer bloody-mindedness were there in abundance. As Malky once put it, “Maximum effort is the minimum requirement” – and for once, Watford delivered exactly that.

The phone-in reflected a curious mixture of pride, relief and frustration. Callers celebrated a team that had finally shown the togetherness and resilience so often missing this season, while questioning why such commitment hadn't been evident more regularly. Attention inevitably turned to Angelo Dionisi, with many supporters arguing that the players were clearly fighting for their manager and that another change would achieve little. With the international break approaching and several injured players potentially returning, the question was whether the club would finally offer its head coach some stability – or whether the dreaded corner flag announcement might make another appearance.

There was also a little DNSYE history as supporters joined the phone-in through the new browser-based calling system, alongside the usual X Spaces and YouTube contributions. We enjoyed some spectacular helpings of humble pie over Payero and Kayembe, debated whether a goalless home draw could genuinely feel like a victory, and considered what Watford might achieve with an actual functioning squad. The conversation also turned to concerns about the club's handling of allegations concerning stewarding and the importance of the Watford Supporters Board. A point against the league leaders, a clean sheet and some genuine pride in the yellow shirts – not quite the beautiful game, but something worth building upon.

"DON'T BE SCARED TO TALK ABOUT PROMOTION!" 🧡 Huddersfield 1 Luton 1 reaction

They Tried To Kill Us Off — Thu, 05 Nov 2026 01:04:07 GMT

A BIG point against the league leaders! 🧡👏

Luton Town came away from Huddersfield with a 1-1 draw after a high-quality League One clash at the Accu Stadium. But was this more than just a good result? Are the Hatters now firmly established as genuine promotion contenders?

Kev is joined by The Lutonian journalist James Cunliffe to look back on an impressive night for Jack Wilshere's side.

The lads discuss:

- Why a point away to the league leaders is such a good result
- How Huddersfield showed why they are genuine promotion contenders
- Why Luton now belong in that same bracket
- Luton's superb defensive display
- The key moments, threats and talking points from an entertaining encounter
- Izzy Jones' exceptional performance
- The good, the not so good and the players who stood out

Plus, the boys look ahead to this weekend's FA Cup tie against Forest Green Rovers, with Luton hosting the visitors for the second season running.

WATFORD V MIDDLESBRO | THE OPPOSITION VIEW

Do Not Scratch Your Eyes — Wed, 04 Nov 2026 16:01:00 GMT

Pete and Justin look ahead to the visit of high-flying Middlesbrough, but first there's the small matter of Watford's spectacular second-half collapse at Norwich. We discuss the lack of leadership, questionable substitutions and whether the squad has the character required to compete in the Championship. There's also the curious case of the Sopwell House retreat, as we explore the Italian tradition of ritiro and whether a few nights away can solve rather more fundamental problems.

Dana from Boro Breakdown gives us the opposition perspective, with Middlesbrough flying high but their supporters still wary of a familiar Vicarage Road disappointment. We also discuss the Graham Taylor Cup, the continuing disconnect between the club and its supporters, and what the international break might mean for the manager. Meanwhile, the DNSYE Prediction League returns with church visits, courtroom stakeouts and renewed scrutiny of Justin's supposedly impartial heads-or-tails app, which appears to have developed a suspicious preference for tails. Carl may wish to investigate.

Finally, we touch on the forthcoming Spanish tax trial involving Gino Pozzo, wish his father Giampaolo well during his illness and consider where Watford might find themselves after the next two fixtures. Pete also offers heartfelt thanks for the many messages of condolence following his mum's passing. As ever, there's plenty of football, a little perspective and the occasional diversion into complete nonsense. Just another episode of our award-losing podcast.

POST MATCH PHONE IN | WATFORD 1-0 LINCOLN CITY

Do Not Scratch Your Eyes — Wed, 04 Nov 2026 00:25:00 GMT

Watford secured three precious points against Lincoln City thanks to a moment of quality from Stephy Mavididi in a match that threatened to give football a bad name. The performance was largely forgettable, but a clean sheet and a 1-0 victory were very welcome. We hear from supporters about individual performances, the Graham Taylor Cup and whether winning ugly is something we should simply learn to appreciate.

There’s plenty happening away from the pitch too, as we discuss the Sopwell House retreat, the continuing uncertainty surrounding the club and the efforts of young Kaiden to organise a peaceful protest. We applaud his determination and explore how supporters might find common ground despite their differing opinions. Meanwhile, X Spaces does its best to sabotage the phone-in, and PJ provides a musical contribution that probably won't be troubling the charts.

On a personal note, this was my (Peter) first proper return to Vicarage Road after four months caring for my mum, who sadly passed away on Friday. Being back at the football, seeing familiar faces and sharing the evening with my son meant considerably more than the quality of the match. My heartfelt thanks to everyone who has sent condolences, offered support or simply said a kind word over recent days and months. It has meant an enormous amount to me and my family. Football might occasionally be dreadful, but the people you meet through it can be quite wonderful.

Is there a mentality issue in this Watford side?

YellowSquared — Tue, 03 Nov 2026 13:00:00 GMT

Watford threw away a 2 goal lead in the second half away to fellow relegation battling Norwich City.

Ned and James are back to discuss the performance, how it was night and day from first half to second. Whether the players have a mentality issue, is the current formation the right idea to get the most from this threadbare squad?

Ahead of Lincoln's visit to The Vic on Tuesday night, is it an opportunity to gain a valuable three points - or will we surrender to a 7th defeat in 8.

THE SCARIEST ATTACK IN LEAGUE ONE?! 😳 Huddersfield v Luton preview

They Tried To Kill Us Off — Tue, 03 Nov 2026 00:30:00 GMT

It's the toughest test of the season so far! 😬

Luton Town are back on the road tonight to face league leaders Huddersfield Town at the Accu Stadium in a huge League One clash.

Kev is joined by The Lutonian journalist James Cunliffe and Town fan Mark Crowther to get stuck into the big questions ahead of the trip to Yorkshire.

Huddersfield are top for a reason, with some frightening attacking statistics and the division's leading goalscorers. But Luton aren't far behind, sitting second in the scoring charts themselves.

So how can the Hatters hurt the Terriers? Could Jack Wilshere change his formation for the challenge and, if he does, who might benefit from a tactical reshuffle?

The lads discuss Huddersfield's biggest threats, the potential Luton line-up, how Town can get after the league leaders and, of course, make their score predictions.

There's also the great chips and gravy debate! What camp do you fall into?

All this and plenty more on the longest-running, award-nominated Luton Town podcast, They Tried To Kill Us Off.

A PROMOTION-WINNING PERFORMANCE?! 🤯 FOUR in a row! | Peterborough 0 Luton 2

They Tried To Kill Us Off — Mon, 02 Nov 2026 02:59:24 GMT

🤯 FOUR WINS ON THE SPIN! AND THIS ONE FELT DIFFERENT!

Luton Town beat Peterborough United 2-0 at London Road to make it FOUR CONSECUTIVE WINS — their first run of four league victories in succession in League One since their promotion-winning campaign in 2018/2019!

And was this a glimpse of something special?

Kev is joined by The Lutonian journalist James Cunliffe and guest Mark Crowther, the Town fan and fundraiser, to reflect on a hugely encouraging afternoon for Jack Wilshere's men.

The boys go through the 90 minutes, looking closely at Luton's impressive starts to both halves, the many positives on and off the pitch and the areas where the Hatters still need to improve.

There's plenty of discussion around what this winning run means, with one particularly telling assessment of the performance:

"This was an away performance of a team that gets promoted."

And with the belief growing, could Luton really be on the way to something special?

Mark also joins us to talk about his latest charity adventure, the four causes he's raising money for, why they mean so much to him and what inspired him to take on another mammoth bike riding challenge when he said he was finished.

Dionisi’s Reign Hanging By A Thread | Norwich City 3-2 Watford Match Reaction

Mike Duffy & Ben Aiton — Sun, 01 Nov 2026 21:20:00 GMT

Joe is once again joined by Duncan to reflect on yet another miserable afternoon on the road for the Hornets!

Watford looked to be cruising after racing into a 2-0 lead, but in true Watford fashion, somehow managed to throw it all away, eventually falling to a 3-2 defeat against fellow strugglers Norwich City.

It’s another afternoon of frustration, questions and plenty to discuss.

Will Dionisi make it to the end of this podcast? Will he still be in the dugout for the upcoming home clash against Lincoln? And just how much more of this can Watford fans take?

As always, there’s plenty to get stuck into!

THREE IS THE MAGIC NUMBER! 🧡🔥 But Hatters still have 2 PROBLEMS TO SOLVE… | Luton 3 Doncaster 1

They Tried To Kill Us Off — Thu, 29 Oct 2026 01:28:23 GMT

THREE IS THE MAGIC NUMBER! 🧡🔥

Luton Town have completed a perfect week at Kenilworth Road, beating Doncaster Rovers 3-1 to make it three wins from three home games and NINE POINTS FROM NINE!

Jamie Donley struck a stunning brace, while Callum Marshall got the Hatters on their way from the penalty spot. Despite a slow start and a few nervy moments late on, it was another thoroughly enjoyable evening for Jack Wilshere's men.

Kev and Jimbo are back to dissect all the key moments, debate a couple of controversial decisions and pick out the standout performers.

They also look at what this run means for morale in the camp, the mood among the fans and Luton's position in the League One table.

And, naturally, there's plenty more to enjoy — including your comments, Kev's tale of terrible KFC gravy and Jimbo's embarrassing injury.

But as Kev puts it: "Put that team in front of us and win, lose or draw, Kev's a happy boy".

Norwich City v Watford: The Opposition View

Do Not Scratch Your Eyes — Tue, 27 Oct 2026 14:54:00 GMT

It's the Norwich City preview, and Peter welcomes back our good friend Adam from The Pink ’Un to find out why things haven't quite gone according to plan at Carrow Road. Philippe Clement restored optimism last season, but a difficult start has brought familiar questions about recruitment, ownership and the relationship between club and supporters. All sounds rather familiar, doesn't it?

We look at Norwich's summer business, including Andre Brooks and Sam Field, and examine their attacking options ahead of Saturday's encounter. There's an injury problem up front, some encouraging signs elsewhere and a welcome return in midfield that Peter would frankly rather hadn't happened. We also pay tribute to the recently retired Teemu Pukki, a Norwich legend whose achievements provide a rather pointed contrast with another former Canary striker.

Back in the DNSYE studio, Peter, Justin and Carl attempt to make sense of Watford's performance at Wolves, the continuing uncertainty surrounding Andrea Dionisi and whether changing the manager would actually change very much at all. We discuss the balance of the squad, the apparent absence of player development and the increasingly worrying fixtures ahead. There are also some observations about Danish football, bouncy castles and the aerodynamic shortcomings of certain Watford players.

Finally, the Completely Rubbish Prediction League returns, featuring a remarkably convincing Daniel Farke impression from Brett, a Halloween-themed visit to the the Dice Dons and the usual collection of predictions that suggest nobody is particularly confident about Saturday. We finish with a discussion about the future of Watford's manager, the difference between a damp squib and a damp squid, and the growing suspicion that we really should have stopped recording several minutes earlier.

9 POINTS FROM 9?! 🤔 The Luton v Doncaster tactical battle | Match preview

They Tried To Kill Us Off — Tue, 27 Oct 2026 01:37:16 GMT

CAN LUTON MAKE IT NINE POINTS FROM NINE? 🧡

Three home games in eight days. The first two won. Can Luton Town complete a perfect run under the Kenilworth Road floodlights when Doncaster Rovers visit on Tuesday night?

Kev is joined by The Lutonian journalist James Cunliffe to preview the latest Hatters test on They Tried To Kill Us Off, the award-nominated, longest-running Luton Town podcast.

Doncaster are a different challenge to the teams Luton have faced recently, so what should Hatters manager Jack Wilshere expect — and how should he set his side up to get the job done?

🎙️ **IN THIS EPISODE:**

🔎 Doncaster's threats and the key players to watch

🧡 Whether Wilshere should make team changes after two home wins with a settled side

📊 The statistics that could influence the game — including Luton's record when they have less than 50 per cent possession

🎯 Where the Hatters can target Doncaster and how they can exploit potential weaknesses

🤔 Kev and Jimbo's score predictions

“Doncaster are not a Bradford, not a Stevenage and they're not a Leicester, they're somewhere in-between.”

And with the numbers suggesting Luton are more likely to win when they have less than half the possession, should the Hatters look to change the way they approach this one?

Can Town make it three wins from three at home and keep the momentum building?

👇 **HAVE YOUR SAY**

What changes, if any, would you make to the starting XI? And what's your score prediction for Luton v Doncaster?
