Independent Fanzone Column (Watford Home)

Last updated : 13 April 2009 By Justin Johnson
For selected home games throughout the 2008/9 season we will be providing a fans view of home games to the Independent newspaper's Monday sports pull-out. The articles will also be published online late Monday evening / Tuesday morning on our website for all to see.



Chances for the rest of the season?
Zero. As we have known for many months now, our lack of truly lethal striker has come back to haunt us. After the draw at Burnley hopes of reaching the play-off's were all but dead, and now they are both dead and buried. The only bonus is that we may be able to send Norwich down!

What next for Jim Magilton?
The sack! Despite Jim having a war-chest of 12M this season that most managers would love to have in this league, we've not gone any further than last season and we are left with the same old problems of scoring goals that were present 12 months ago..

Jim's constant squad rotations, changes of winning teams and poor tactical knowledge have shot confidence to pieces and baffled fans. His tendency to attempt to motivate by shouting at players has had quite the opposite effect on the team. There surely can only be one outcome.
