Ex Forest Green man sacked by Watford after 11 games Slavin Bilic set to replace him when they appointed Edwards people on here were saying I wonder how long he will last they were proved correct That’s a disgraceful decision. He’s lost two out of ten games and they are one point off the play-offs.

Gone through 15 managers in 9 years or something daft.

What did he expect? Virtually everyone knew this was going to happen. I hope he thinks whatever pay off he gets was worth it if he fails to get another job.

I think the fans would welcome him more than Stale Mince after the way he left. A couple of the fans are already suggesting he may end up at a team nearby also struggling in league one 🤔

Vince wasn't happy with the way he left but I wouldn't be surprised to see Edwards back at FGR.

He’ll return after a clear the air meeting with Vince. Friend of mine who has a ST over there reckons the current bloke is a million miles out of his depth. Makes that opening day result sting even more tbh😂😂

They looked comfortable against us too, like a lot of teams

Just shows how big the expectations are there, if they wanted immediate results without being willing to give a guy a chance they should have hired an experienced championship manager. Dunno what they expected from a man who would clearly have been learning on the job

Done well at FGR, BIT LIKE GC with us, got the very best from a limited squad in which every player knew his job, not the greatest team but very effective. It was always unlikely his methods would work with the kind of players Watford have or that his methods would please the fan base there which made it a very strange appointment imho. Owners seem to realise that now and have acted quickly, more a slight on their selection process than on Rob Edwards.

One thing I’ll give GC, he knew he had a bunch of tough but slow players with limited footballing ability in both defence and midfield, with a very high level striker up top. In defence of his boring style (which I hated watching) I think that deep line and long ball style was the only way they could play to win games (just imo of course)

Without a JCH you’re going down That’s my point, deep back 4 sat on the edge of our box, 2 defensive midfielders sat in front of them, and more often than not JCH making magic up top almost always by himself lol

Ipswich , Shrewsbury spring to mind but there were definitely others. That was far from being a one man team , we had good players and a mixture of experience and youth and a manager who knew exactly how to get the best of what he had as his disposal.

For sure, JCH was out for 2 months odd prior to ‘that’ Ipswich game and didn’t train that entire pre season if memory serves me correct.
