Things are not going well at watfordfc and androofrench says it’ll take far more than changing head coach to fix them
The American psychologist Abraham Maslow wrote “If your only tool is a hammer then every problem looks like a nail”.
However, if results and performances were the sole issue, then you might be able fix that nail by using managerial change as your hammer.Watford booed off the field at Blackpool You can add player recruitment to the list. That is the sole reason the club had to field a midfielder at full back: you can handle injuries if you have other options and depth, especially when it was clearly apparent throughout August that there was a right wing-back shaped gap in the squad.
Of course, there have been many very good signings who have been excellent for Watford – many of them currently being excellent for Udinese – who the club have sold for profit. But that counts for virtually nothing to those who made the miserable trek home from Lancashire at the weekend. At the time, Scott Duxbury said: “This further protects the club at a time when balancing financial wellbeing and retaining a squad to compete at the top end of the Championship are our top priorities.”
And fans are next on the list of problems. They are unhappy, angry, dejected, demoralised, disappointed, confused and rapidly losing faith, as well as their ongoing worry mentioned above. Talking to fans in the 24 hours after the game, reading comments online and listening to podcasts, the overwhelming problem is the club has ‘lost’ a lot of supporters. That’s not to say they don’t actually support the club anymore: you don’t really ever stop supporting, even if you want to.
You only have to think back to Saturday to quickly come up with another problem: a squad that looks good on a piece of paper but has desire, commitment, confidence and spirit of the same thickness. As Bilic said himself: “If we think we are going to win games because we have a good squad on paper, then we’re wrong.”
