Keeper Daniel Bachmann discusses events of the past week at watfordfc from a player perspective
Goalkeeper Daniel Bachmann concedes that the Watford players haven’t worked hard enough, and former head coach Rob Edwards has paid the price.
“We have got a lot of quality in this squad. But that doesn’t matter or count if we don’t run, and fight, and put in the work. Watford climbed to seventh on the back of yesterday’s victory, but that isn’t of much significance to Bachmann right now. “What does matter is that we start rebuilding the confidence and the winning mentality. Last season was really tough in that respect, and so we have to start getting that mindset which means you can win every week.
“I think Sheffield United and Norwich are probably at their highest level now, the best they can be. We’ve barely even got to 50% of our capabilities. We’ve got nowhere near what we can be and what we should be, and yet we’re seven or eight points behind them. That’s how we should look at it. “As players, things don’t really change for us. We’re professionals and we work with whoever the head coach is.”“I’d not really thought about it to be totally honest,” he said.
The low point in the first 10 league games was the woeful performance and defeat at Blackburn, after which Bachmann went to try and speak to some of the angriest fans in the away end.
