The style is different, but what they've done, which we've now failed to achieve
is to decide on the way they're going to play, and then play to it. You might call it a footballing philosophy even. Yep, they're big, it's not always *that* attractive but it has made them very effective and two seasons of playoffs don't lie, even if I'm still in the 'Luton wtf' thought process. And they seem to enjoy playing.
We've just lost direction, they've gained it. And I bet Watford are kicking themselves for getting rid of Rob Edwards.
