NedHOST
20:46
And I remember we said at the time, you have to twist.
NedHOST
20:52
There was no way that Dionisi could stick with what was going on in front of him because it was... just capitulating and then you get a win at home to Charlton in a different formation you go away to Wolves yes you lose but you only lose by one rather than five or four and then then you go away to Norwich and then you're 2-0 up so you're thinking right this system is working but then obviously you know you're going to lose that but again you only lose it by one so In Dionisi's mind, surely this formation change makes sense because you have to stop this ridiculous conceding four or five goals a game.
NedHOST
21:36
That had to stop.
NedHOST
21:37
So I'm on the side of you had to address the terrible emergency issues.
NedHOST
22:27
So I don't see why Navazada can't come on when Marma comes on or when Vata comes on.
NedHOST
22:31
So it's probably another interesting thing to look at, but something definitely had to change.
NedHOST
22:37
So I'm with Dionisi on that little bit.
NedHOST
22:42
But I do think it's really interesting, your point about Pozzo and these saleable assets, because I think it does make a lot of difference.
Benjamin BloomHOST
20:27
Yeah.
Benjamin BloomHOST
20:28
And I dare say, corner flag time, if Mr. Dionisi loses another two games, that wouldn't surprise you at all.
Benjamin BloomHOST
20:36
Oh, this is a good fixture.
Benjamin BloomHOST
20:38
Birmingham versus...
George ElekHOST
53:44
You know, there was a time two or three weeks ago where I felt like the, and it still is, you know, the main object of the anger of Watford fans are the Pozzo family and Gino Pozzo.
George ElekHOST
53:56
And Dionisi retained some of the belief, I think, amongst the fans, or at least kind of aligned themselves with him.
George ElekHOST
54:01
I think now it's a case of like, yeah, Pozzo is the main culprit here, but... we also don't like the decision-making of our manager or head coach too.
George ElekHOST
54:08
So yeah, it's, it's pretty disastrous for Watford.
Elliott JacksonHOST
56:41
It's hard to not believe that that's true, to be honest.
Elliott JacksonHOST
56:46
Dionisi was sacked probably three weeks ago again by TalkSport and they keep saying he's going to get sacked and he probably will get sacked at some point.
Elliott JacksonHOST
56:52
But is that kind of just like me saying Michael Carrick is going to get sacked at some point at Man United? Yeah, it probably will happen.
Elliott JacksonHOST
56:58
I could have told you in the summer that Dionisi was probably going to get sacked at some point.
Elliott JacksonHOST
57:01
It's Watford, so...
George SmithHOST
57:02
That's groundbreaking analysis that Watford are going to sack a manager.
DanielHOST
9:02
I keep waiting for, I keep waiting for the tweet.
DanielHOST
9:04
Watford have parted company with manager Dionisi, but Maybe they will give him two games.
DanielHOST
9:10
Obviously, you've got the window coming up, so why not? You might as well give him the next two games.
DanielHOST
9:15
He still sits two points outside the relegation zone, but they've got two.
NathanHOST
30:41
And it'd be almost the same discussion that either a manager's on the verge or a new manager's just come in.
NathanHOST
30:48
And Dionisi, the manager, has been on the verge for about three weeks now.
NathanHOST
30:55
Still hasn't been sacked.
NathanHOST
30:57
There's been a lot of unrest on social media about the owner.
Justin PeachHOST
19:31
And I don't think we've seen it to any near this level of efficiency.
Justin PeachHOST
19:36
either but I do also think that maybe it's a bit too negative for a 90 minute game so in some capacity this is why I'm conflicted was defeat inevitable 10 touches in the Norwich box the entire game it's you're not doing enough to keep the ball away from your own goal so this Watford side the way they set up they're always going to concede chances it's too negative and for again for Dionisi to come out and question courage and character again I just I sit a bit uncomfortable with it it's A lot of conflict with Watford.
Justin PeachHOST
20:07
There's easy fingers to be pointed.
Justin PeachHOST
20:09
Sorry, you can point the finger at things easily with the owners, but also there's got to be more accountability to the players and the coach.
Joe ThomasHOST
4:44
um limited edition shirt um there's just so many things that people are just coming up with just all you know all we can do at the moment is laugh about it because otherwise we literally would be probably in a manic state of depression um over it but um do you know what we'll start things just slightly different actually this week Duncan usually we obviously talk about the team let's talk about D&EC um I saw the statistic that Andrew French put up saying that out of, I think, the last maybe 13 potential managers, I think it is, that we've had in charge, his – or is it maybe the first 13 games? I can't even remember.
Joe ThomasHOST
5:29
But he basically said that Dionisi was on the lowest – the lowest points tally out of any manager.
Joe ThomasHOST
5:40
Even Ed Steele had more points.
Joe ThomasHOST
5:45
Are you surprised that we've still not seen that Dionisi's gone? Do you think that actually with everything that's kicking off with the fans and the board and things like that, that they're actually deciding that they are going to stick with the manager throughout the season? Or do you think they're just going to wait till the break?
Duncan RadbandGUEST
6:08
I'd say I'll probably wait till the break.
Duncan RadbandGUEST
6:09
I mean, I have no doubt that given the last month of fan unrest, it has played a part in D&C's state of execution.

35 MINS LATER

Duncan RadbandGUEST
41:26
But how often before you revert to the mean? How often does that happen before you see the roles start tapering down again because either issues behind the scenes start getting to the manager, the manager starts being, again, it's hard to tell where the ultimate fault is because there's so many compounding issues.
Joe ThomasHOST
41:55
Yeah, I'd have to agree with that.
JonHOST
20:19
We do need to get something out of it.
JonHOST
20:22
Dionisi might need to get something out of it, but it really feels, I don't know, there was, okay, crowd and vibes and atmosphere.
JonHOST
20:29
You had two, like, it looked horrendous from the Norwich end at half time, the Watford end where you were.
JonHOST
20:36
What are you hearing? What did you sort of feel from the crowd at Carrow Road yesterday?
Lucas YeomansHOST
15:22
An underperforming side in Norwich with a Watford side that feels like the neglect is maybe creeping up with them a little bit.
Lucas YeomansHOST
15:30
And on that, the fans aren't blaming Dionisi.
Lucas YeomansHOST
15:34
I mean, how can you? But what can he do with the players he has to turn fortunes around? We talk about Norwich and being a team that they've got the personnel that they can turn this around still.
Lucas YeomansHOST
15:44
It feels like they need to put in shifts similar to those early games I mentioned.
Justin PeachHOST
17:07
but he's a steady operator at this level.
Justin PeachHOST
17:09
Whereas with Watford, there's not enough steady operators at this level because the recruitment's neglected that and they've gone for young players and put a lot of pressure on them.
Justin PeachHOST
17:18
Well, that's why we can't blame Dionisi, but we can't blame Ed Steele.
Justin PeachHOST
17:21
We can't blame Javi Grazia.
