Watford did not surprise at all last season. All the same classic English football "elevator". Also, the management complicates the tasks for the wards, constantly arranging coaching castling. As a result, the "hornets", who changed their mentor twice, did not hold on the "registration" in the Premier League. In the new season, already in the Championship, they entered with another new manager. Moreover, young Rob Edwards, who previously steered the original project, Forest Green, was called to London. As expected, many players had left after relegation from the Premier League - Sissoko, King, Nkulu, Forster, Gray, Femenia. But among the newcomers there are quite well-known characters - Mario Gaspar, Ray Manay, Hamer. The team also started on Monday, with a match against Sheffield United. It turned out not particularly bright, but still the team had an advantage in this fight. Which eventually resulted in the only, and therefore the winning goal.
