    I know that one should not read too much into preseason games when players are getting minutes under their belts and youngsters are being given an opportunity. However, losing 1-3 to a First Division team will not help to restore the players' confidence after a disastrous relegation season nor will it increase confidence in the methods of a new head coach.

    Never felt that Perica was given a proper go. Mind you he got himself sent off in a silly manner so his attitude was obviously suspect.

    Ivic is probably a good manager really but the players didn’t take to him and he was very negative in his style of football .

    As for the current one - well has probably found out we don’t have an “excellent squad “

    And we need a few new players!

    He wasn’t a ‘Watford player’ imho. He had an excellent role model there in Deeney, whom he had apparently approached for advice, which he promptly ignored, and acted like a total arse.

    Even more to the point, who is JJ McKiernan? Apparently he's been with us since 2018! Irish .

    I've seen his name mentioned on U23 team sheets a few times, but had never heard of Manning.

    John Joshua McKiernan is a 20 year old midfielder, who joined Watford from Andover Town in 2018. He has represented Northern Ireland at U-20 level. He has been on loan at Bohemian F.C. since January 2022, but spent most of the time on the bench and barely played for them.

    Seems as though it is our third kit, based on the home kit we wore in 1922, celebrating 100 years at Vicarage Road.

    Nice idea but some teams have worn special kits at home to celebrate anniversaries.

    A true local boy - born in Watford - and following in his dad's footsteps by signing for us. I just hope his career turns out to be a bit more stellar than his dad's did...

    Sarr, Dennis, Masina & Rose left out of pre-season tour group to Austria. Negotiations ongoing with clubs re onward transfers.

    We surely won’t get anything for Rose or Masina .

    Latter might go to Udinese ?
