Fran’s Watford Blog: It was good to finish pre-season with a win and a clean sheet. Grieves took his goal really well and seems to have impressed Pezzolano. I hope we will see a lot of him this season. Kyprianou had a decent run out. I think he will be a good addition. The injury to Pollock was concerning, I hope he is fit for Saturday. For me, the man of the match was Sissoko, who seems to have a new lease of life. We may well see more of him this season than any of us were expecting.
