A change of sporting director seems likely sooner rather than later as it’s understood Watford have approached Eintracht Frankfurt to speak to their Director of Professional Football, Ben Manga.
Or in our case join in the training sessions basically watching the manager over their shoulder making notes!
In our case I think, amongst other things, he makes sure the Pozzo training system and measuring fitness is carries out, overseas diet, recruitment, liaison between manager and board etc etc It leaves the Coach to coach.
U21 team for today's PDL game against Bristol City. 8 minutes gone and we haven't conceded yet - haven't scored either. please log in to view this image
How long before Jonno and Gilligan are axed? At this level it is about development rather than results, but at this stage it appears that the only thing developing is a crisis of confidence in each and every player
Sounds like Bristol City could be in a panic - or maybe just Nigel Pearson? No respite for Bristol City's beleaguered defence as Watford boss makes early selection decision - Bristol Live (bristolpost.co.uk)
FYI We had 2 kids who have played the odd game in the first team and Massengo is a fringe player who hasn't played for weeks/months. The rest were Academy players. Your first 11 will win comfortably this weekend. Parachute payments mean everything in the Championship.
Maybe your youngsters are much better than ours? Our youth team or Under 23s team hardly has anyone close to our first team either.
Very bad news regarding Dan Gosling. Looks like a ruptured Achilles’ and a bad one at that. Faces a long time out. Bilic visibly gutted for a player he described as “a terrific professional”
That is such a shame for him and for Watford Now depends on wether Ngakia can step up to fill the right back position
