Watford legend Luther Blissett had the chance to talk to head coach Valerien Ismael as well as other key club figures last week.
“Straight away I could see how his attitude fitted with the philosophy Gino wanted. An attitude that has to run through everything, to create that energy and togetherness and he is definitely driving that change of thinking amongst the players.
At the event with Pozzo, there was a clear message from the supporters attending that they wanted more and better communication from and with the club. “We had a good talk about the new set-up and how important the pre-season early start had been in helping to drill themselves into a real unit of players.
“Dan commented on how they are learning to work with each other instinctively, and you can see on the pitch that is beginning to happen. Being intuitive allows the up-tempo play that Gino and the Head Coach both want us to produce.”“It was back to earth with a bump when I asked Dan about social media, where he recently suffered disgraceful abuse from our own fans. I had talked in the Watford Observer about this shabby behaviour and Dan thanked me for speaking out.
“One of the most reassuring things was hearing that they recruited on mentality as much as statistics.”“He said to me they had to be the right fit,” said Watford’s all-time record goalscorer. After the earlier private chat with Bachmann about social media abuse, the subject was raised by fans. “I didn’t agree with one thing though: the club apparently go back and delete old, possibly foolish stuff players may have posted previously. It’s my belief you own your mistakes and learn from them, not erase them.
“When the squad went to Stevenage it was the same player selection, Ismael wants them to maximise their time together and so no changes were being made after a win. Anyone who moaned that they should play was apparently reminded by Jake about earning a shirt!”
