Roy Hodgson launches his last crusade with a huge basement battle at Turf Moor, vowing he will fight to the bitter end to save Watford.
The former England coach insists the Hornets' result against Burnley will not be the “be-all and end-all” of their relegation dogfight.
In 2008, Hodgson orchestrated a great escape at Fulham, closing a nine-point gap to cheat the hangman, and he will not tolerate any defeatist talk if his baptism among Lancashire's dark, satanic mills ends in disappointment.
