Watford v Doncaster Rovers- Previously...

We've played 13 competitive games against Donnie winning 7, drawing 2 and losing 4. We've scored against them 25 times with the old Ross Jenkins getting 5 of these, and have conceded 12 goals in total.

At the Vic we've played 7 times, winning 4, drawing 1 and losing 2. Our biggest win at home was on 28th January 1978 in Division Four when Graham Taylor's side beat them 6-0. We have only ever lost against them by one goal.

Last season in Judas' first game in charge we drew 1-1 at home with Tommy Smith scoring our goal and ex-Watford man Steve Brooker getting the equaliser. In April we won 2-1 with both our goals coming in the first 17 minutes. A Priskin shot was turned in by Rovers Sam Hird and four minutes later a Don Cowie header won the game for us.

The highest attendance between us was 17,130 for a home 1955 Third Round FA Cup tie which we lost 2-1. The highest league attendance was last years 14,008 at the Vic. The lowest attendance for a game at Vicarage Road between the sides was in September 1975 when just 4,228 turned up to see us win 2-1.
