The Watford Courier
Market24 Aug 2026
Edo Kayembe puts it in writing
“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Watford, and it is not being withdrawn.
Market24 Aug 2026
FC Annecy come back empty-handed
The bid was some way short and Watford did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.
Squad24 Aug 2026
A falling-out at Watford
Edoardo Bove and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.
Transfer targets24 Aug 2026
Viktoria Plzen tell Watford: Lukáš Červ is not for sale
The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.
Match22 Aug 2026
Watford come up short against Birmingham
Birmingham left with the points after a 0‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.
Match18 Aug 2026
Watford find a way past Wrexham
Wrexham made Watford work for it, but the scoreboard read 1‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.
Player ratings24 Aug 2026
Marc Bola was on a different afternoon to everybody else
8.10. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.
Squad24 Aug 2026
Kwadwo Baah makes it 100
100 times in these colours, in all weathers and under four or five different managers. That kind of service is quietly disappearing from the game.
The dugout24 Aug 2026
The manager’s verdict
“That is on me. I pick the team and I picked wrong.” Managers say that when they mean it and when they need to be seen to, and after 0‑2 Charles Roberts left the room before anybody could ask which.
In brief
- Squad Stephen Mfuni falls out with a teammate over standards
- The dugout Hector Kyprianou is still paying for one afternoon at Watford
- Player ratings Kwadwo Baah was unplayable
