1st August 2022- Championship, Watford 1 Sheffield United 0 https://www.watfordfc.com/post-match/watford-mens-team-sheffield-united-first-team-2022-08-01/statistics Attendance:19,536 BBC Sport: Rob Edwards made a winning start to life as Watford manager as Joao Pedro’s goal proved enough to beat Sheffield United in a highly-competitive Championship game at Vicarage Road. BHappy: After six largely untroubled added minutes the game ends. Not without concerns… this is surely the dying embers of last year’s model, what could have been, and yet we only managed one goal for all that. But a first win for Rob Edwards, getting that monkey off our backs at the earliest opportunity, was priceless and a jammy one-nil would have been just fine. This wasn’t jammy; we fully deserved it, even if we might not have gotten away with it with an unfavourable wind. Fran’s Watford Blog: Last season was soul destroying, so I am very happy to be reporting on a very entertaining performance. My first reaction was that it was nice to see a team who appeared to have met each other. I was particularly impressed with the organisation throughout the team. Every player had a job and they all stuck to it. Passes generally found another player in a yellow shirt. They fought for every ball and refused to see any cause as lost. Energy and passion were what we were crying out for last season, it was so good to see them back. Sarr, Dennis and João Pedro were unplayable up front. Let’s hope that we can keep them and that they continue to play like that. They will be giving Championship defences nightmares. Equally, much as there has been much moaning about our defence on social media, I thought they were well organised and really restricted the chances for Sheffield United. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/championship/scores-fixtures/2022-07 https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/championship/table Share this: Share on X (Opens in new window) X Share on Facebook (Opens in new window) Facebook
