We have nothing to fear from Palace except their diving.

I'm behind the goal - looking forward to it biggrin

Let's face it, Palace turned up with a good game plan and really disrupted us. Hats off, they weren't great, but narrowly deserved the win. 2 shocking pieces of defending for their goals and another poor team choice from QSF cost us.

My overriding memory?

C'mon lads, sink the canaries.
Dreadful half.

Looked like we were going to win 0-3 or 0-4 when we scored. Then we fell apart.

Nevermind, Sunderland winning 2-0 rofl

QSF out!

Can't agree - the benefit of being in the Prem is being able to watch every match. We've been awful and QSF didn't change anything in an effort to improve matters.

Once Plan A was no use, around Xmas, there was no Plan B, C or anything else. Thanks for keeping us up, but time for a change. If we stuck with Plan A next year, we'd be in deep doodoo.

Continuing to play Jurado and Abdi on the wings - wtf?! confused

I understand how fans of other teams can struggle to understand what has happened. Have a read of this article which sums it up well:

http://www.espnfc.com/club/watford/395/blog/post/2...

Would I have settled for 17th at the start of the season? Sure.

Would you settle for unconvincingly escaping relegation when you go in to the Christmas period 1 point from the Champions League places?

Unconvincing? You're 10 points clear of the relegation zone and could finish in 11th place despite starting the season having been odds on favourite to be relegated.

Sorry but it seems like total ingratitude on the part of the owners and I struggle how any fan could be anything but delighted with the season.
QSF has totally failed to attempt to halt the slide in form. He has persisted, week-in, week-out in the same formation and same players out of position. The player he shows most loyalty to, Jurado, continues to be picked and played out of position despite the fact that as our main attacking mid-fielder he has scored none and has no assists.

The FA cup performance against Palace and the capitulation to a Norwich side firing blanks were the final nails in his coffin.

This isn't the same old Watford. We have rich backers who have pumped one of the highest PL spending sprees in to the club this season. The plan at the start of the season was to survive, but once we over-achieved that and then teams worked us out, he was totally inflexible. Next season would have been a disaster if it had continued next season.

He wasn't sacked, he insisted on a break clause in his contract after one year - the club used his own clause against him.

Watford turned down a 37.5m bid for Ighalo from Shanghai SIPG. Crazy money.
And we've signed Isaac Success from Granada for £12.5m (record fee).

Gabrielle Angela has returned to Udinese, after last season's loan at QPhaha

Great win - thoroughly deserved, whatever Rooney thinks.

7 points from one of the toughest list of fixtures you could imagine.

It's been a very enjoyable season so far - losses to Everton and Chelsea were unfortunate, at points we were in control and with more savvy about us we'd have closed the matches out.

That was Will Hughes' first shot in his PL career biggrin
