THE POST MATCH PHONE IN PT 1 | WBAFC 1-0 WFC

Watford lose 1–0 at West Brom, but apparently we’re now a much more likeable team, which is fortunate because we’re becoming increasingly difficult to assemble. Four injured full-backs means Albert Eames gets introduced to Championship football at the Hawthorns, Kayembe becomes an emergency left-back and Dionisi starts eyeing the crowd to see if anybody has brought boots.

There are encouraging debuts for Koulibaly and Mavididi, concern as Bove goes down injured, and several callers conclude that Watford are actually playing quite well — apart from the increasingly inconvenient business of scoring goals. Meanwhile, Kebben’s distribution is compared to wearing Toblerones for football boots and Ron conducts part of his analysis while taking his son to a Pokémon shop.

Naturally, this develops into Manchester City’s academy system, Stoke’s ownership, financial regulation, EPPP, Scott Duxbury’s interpretation of the English language and whether Watford’s recruitment policy involves rummaging through a skip for slightly damaged footballers. Five games into the season, we’ve already reached “is Tuesday enormous?” territory. Completely normal. Nothing to see here.
