Striker Vakoun Bayo discusses the new season, the new manager, his surprise at being loaned out, and how he hopes to show watfordfc fans his best is yet to come . . . and his hair!
“I think, though, with the style of play we have now, it’s been good to incorporate a few new players and also some younger players.“This manager immediately brought his idea of pressing, and we have spent the summer implementing it. It is a very big difference to last season.
“Last season was not an easy season. It was very difficult. The fans were frustrated, and I understand that,” he said. Both Slaven Bilic and Chris Wilder said, during their spells as head coach, that the conditioning levels of the squad were not good enough – Bayo says the work put in during a seven-week pre-season based purely at London Colney has focussed on addressing that.“If you look at the pre-season, it’s helped because we’ve not had many problems or injuries.
Bayo’s goal against Boro was a prime example of a striker taking up a good position in the box, something he also did to good effect at Carrow Road when he netted another late winner as the injury-ravaged Hornets beat Norwich 1-0 in January. “I remember Ken Sema going down the left wing and I was in a good position without opponents too close to me, so I just hit the volley.”
“I know the Watford fans were at the other end of the ground, and I’m sorry I didn’t run down there!”
