    How do you reckon he'll do? Visa permitting.

    All the talk seems of Rob Edwards ATM, so thought I'd open this thread dedicated to Slav the brave, as any manager coming to Watford has to be just that!

    What is Slav's style for his players on the pitch? He looks no nonsense!

    Does he like his sides to be how he was as a player?

    Strong, aggressive and physical with some power.

    Not sure we have too many of those!

    Little I read, he seems quite studious of the other team.

    His favoured formation is 4-2-3-1, so I like him already.

    Could I be there when you say that to Hause, please? :emoticon-0110-tongu
    Do you mind if I help things along by telling him, “Mark says you’re a streak of piss.”? :emoticon-0102-bigsm

    It’s a shame this Not606 isn’t more universal, really. There’s no Baggies or Hammers on here to ask. Thank you, BBC. <doh>

    True - he probably is hence being signed .

    Had we got him earlier the defensive situation might have been sorted .
    I think the view is that he was harshly sacked by both so he’ll be well used to working under tough owners.

    Our best chance might be to attack and get goals if we cannot rely on the defence.

    Probably hear from Bilic today with the weekend match coming up.

    Feel bad for the guy as he will come in and quite frankly will probably get no support as people seem to almost be in a mourning state about Edwards going and saying they don't care anymore etc.

    Well until we win a few games and his name will be chanted or doesn't start so well and the calls for him to go come out.!

    As I thought .

    Most of the comments are so negative and miserable that poor Slav probably thinks is it worth it ..

    I mean yes he probably won’t last long if things don’t go well but surely got to at least be some positivity towards Bilic at least .



    You’d think Edwards had been sacked with us 10 points clear at the top !
