I think it is must win because of the two games that come after it.
A win puts us in the middle of things again and takes a bit of the pressure off the Manchester United and Liverpool games.
The 'pack' as mentioned above is four teams at the minute but don't discount Brentford from being sucked in if their poor run continues.
Is Watford a must win?

Watford is a throw caution to the wind game. If we are gonna lose our place at the top table...let's enjoy the ride.

Brentford have definitely hit the rocks in recent weeks, and Everton will also be anxiously looking over their shoulders following the weekend's scores.Goody1975 wrote: ↑Sun Jan 23, 2022 5:34 pmI think it is must win because of the two games that come after it.

Valid point about the games following Watford, you can never rule us out of getting something, especially if we perform as we did today, but it's more likely we net zero points against Man Utd and Liverpool, so yes that makes the Watford game all the more pivotal to our season.

Re: Is Watford a must win?
No, it's not because as explained many times before, if we lose we will not be relegated. Yet.
We could lose against Watford and then beat Manyew - does that mean we're down ?
Better to look at forthcoming games in the Stan the Man way, ie in groups of three. How many points do we expect from Watford, Manyew and Liverpool ? Somewhere between none and six ? We crack on whatever happens, a disaster against Watford could be wiped out by a win against Utd.
Look for the positives and take each game as it comes.
