OPPOSITION VIEW: WATFORD


Ahead of our final away game of the season we spoke with the lads at the Golden Pages Fanzine to see how things are going at Watford.


15th in the league, what's been the story of your season?

It has gone largely as expected with the limited squad and usual boardroom dramas. Valerien Ismaël arrived in the summer to instil discipline and play with 'intensity'. We didn't see much of that after November and it was mostly just depressing to watch. The owner was keen to shift from his reputation for sacking managers but was left with no choice but to fire Ismaël, given the fears of relegation. Up stepped Tom Cleverley who has steadied the ship for the last couple of months (and perhaps beyond).
