I know one man doth not maketh the team, but he is their talisman (and captain) so from a selfish point of view, it's good news for us Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Move Klose 303 Posted February 18, 2021 From what their fans have been saying about him and Andre Gray this season I'm not sure they will be too concerned. But he is good for putting away a penalty. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mello Yello 2,572 Posted February 18, 2021 We got by without the Pukster for a while....I'm sure Watford will also get by without Deeney's involvement...... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Watford have had two good victories in their last two games. They beat Bristol City at home 6-0 and then won 1-0 away at Preston. Deeney didn't play in either game.

city4eva 242 Posted February 19, 2021 Watford fans don’t rate him and they look a better side without him so not good news IMO Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crabbycanary3 994 Posted February 19, 2021 He may be out of form but he certainly knows the way to goal. If he's on the pitch, he is more than capable of producing one moment to change a game. He is probably their most experienced player, at the business end of the season. They can't replace him at this stage of the season, so they are weakened. It's good news to all other teams.

BroadstairsR 2,273 Posted February 19, 2021 (edited) Controversial character who seems to have gone from hero to villain with many Watford fans. They may ultimately be more successful with him on the sidelines. Now if Brentford were to lose Ivan Toney for a few weeks, that would be a season changer.

Capt. Pants 5,008 Posted February 19, 2021 I think I would keep quiet about wishing, or enjoying injury on our rivals. What goes around, comes around. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
horsefly 5,301 Posted February 19, 2021 Frankly, Watford need to be more worried about us than we of them. Farke gets this right everytime, all we need do is concentrate on what we have control over, our own performance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nothing wrong with wishing for a few slight injury set-backs for some of our rivals in the race. We have had our fair share after all .... I seem to remember City having to use even Stiepperman as a striker for a couple of games. That went well! Like you say, "What goes around ....... " Also: Until the day that any teams can be assured of 100% success rate throughout the season then it will also need to rely, to a greater or lesser extent upon the failures and setbacks of those around it. It's all part and parcel of healthy competitiveness. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AJ 1,358 Posted February 19, 2021 Thought Deeney would be more important to them this season than he has been, he's still a threat when he is on the pitch but seems to have lost that extra bit of quality that he had a season or two ago Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Christoph Stiepermann 1,261 Posted February 19, 2021 I said before I think they'll win the play offs but they won't get auto promotion, they're a big, athletic side built to play counter attacking football in the PL, they'll beat the sides near the top of the table who'l come at them and play but they struggle to break down more defensive teams and they don't like playing on the front foot where they can't use their pace as much. I think they won't get enough wins in the last 16 games to catch us or Swansea/Brentford. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They perceive to have too much influence over club matters in the boardroom and think that he's influenced managerial changes. Similar actually to how Russell Martin was perceived by many fans. He's the Watford Russell Martin, owners love him and a nice guy, but sections of the support think he's outstayed his welcome! Would have been harsh to ditch him in the summer a year short of a testimonial though, this is season 10 for him at Watford.
