Watford

Seen some posts on here slagging off Watford but I was really impressed.

Sure it isn't pretty to watch but it is almost perfect recipe for Championship success. They have pace and power throughout the team and, unlike the Prem, Championship sides are generally deficient in that area. They have a simple, low-risk, gameplan and they don't just hoof it. They play accurate, early, balls out to the men either side of King and attack fullbacks relentlessly. They are fast and strong enough to deny the opposition space everwhere on the pitch.
Very few teams in this divison (only those like WBA who also have the power to match them) will be able to trouble them unless they have an off day.

It won't get them far in the Prem where all the other teams are also big, strong and quick (and more skillful with it) but at this level I struggle to see how it can fail.

No-one else will give us those sort of problems.
