The Opposition

Watford currently sit top of the U23 Professional Development League Group South standings with 38 points, having had 11 wins, five draws and five losses in 2019/20 to date.

The Hornets are much improved from the 2018/19 campaign when they finished ninth, already having 14 more points, despite playing seven less games.

Monday’s visiting side have scored 48 goals and conceded 34 in the Professional Development League so far this season, having a better goal difference than second place Millwall by one, who are a point below.

Last season, Watford netted 32 goals and conceded 50 in Group South - finishing the season with a -18 goal difference.

In the Hot Seat

Hayden Mullins has been Watford’s Lead U23 Professional Development Coach since April 2017.

He was also their First Team’s Interim Head Coach in December; his reign spanning between Quique Sanchez Flores’ departure and Nigel Pearson’s arrival, allowing him to take control of their 2-0 loss to Leicester City and 0-0 draw with Crystal Palace.

After leaving Reading as U18 Coach, the former midfielder was appointed Assistant Coach of the Hornets’ U23 team under Harry Kewell in July 2016.

The now 40-year-old retired as a professional footballer in July 2015, having played for Crystal Palace, West Ham United, Portsmouth, Reading, Birmingham City and Notts County. Mullins also represented England’s U21 team.

WHAT A MISS! Open goal missed by Vassell.

Tom Sang smashes a brilliant ball across the face of goal and Vassell, just five yards out, has a clean-air shot. Huge miss for the returning striker.

Vassell injured again. Feel sorry for the lad but my god what a dreadful waste of money. Criminal of the club really. Sounds to me like his career is washed up.

GOAL! Cardiff City 1-0 Watford (Davies)

GOOOOOOOOAL! Mark Harris holds the ball up and slots through Isaak Davies, the substitute, who gives the keeper the eyes and slots home emphatically. :bluebird: :bluebird:

A huge mistake from Neil Etheridge almost allows Watford in. He comes out to collect a free-kick but makes a hash of it and drops it, luckily Bamba can just about clear his lines!
