The true Rob Edwards has not necessarily been put on in terms of a playing style. Some of the potential departures will change what Watford can do, whilst the new signings will have a similar impact. He has inherited a solid squad that should be competitive in the Championship and he has got them playing with a hunger and desire that wasn’t always there last season, so that is really encouraging. Ismaila Sarr is a danger when he is on form and Birmingham will be well aware of that, including Troy Deeney who played with him. It will go all the way up to the wire with players coming in and players, potentially, being snapped up elsewhere. The new Head Coach, Rob Edwards, has had to get to grips with a new squad and division after great success at Forest Green Rovers. They have hit the ground running to take seven points from three difficult games.

3 things you need to watch out for in Birmingham City v Watford tonight (Football League World)

The first round of midweek Championship fixtures of the season begins this evening, with a number of clubs in action. One of the games taking place comes at ...

While it is still way too early in the season for things to be decided, points on the board are always vital, and being in such a position is only going to serve to lift the mood and confidence around a club, meaning this could still be a very important chance for Watford to try and take. There will of course, be one very familiar face to those of a Watford persuasion within the Birmingham ranks this evening, in the form of Troy Deeney. The chance of a return to the Premier League could certainly appeal to Pedro, so it will be interesting to see if Watford boss Rob Edwards believes the 20-year-old is still focused enough to face the Blues, and if the player himself is still ready to risk an injury by playing, when such a move could be on the cards.

Edwards feels Watford had chances to beat Birmingham City (Watford Observer)

Rob Edwards admitted he was “bit frustrated” after tonight's 1-1 draw at Birmingham City as he felt Watford created enough chances to have won…

But I do think on the balance of play we had more chances. Birmingham were really well organised, you could see they were more in that mid-block so we had some good control tonight. Asked whether it was a good point, Edwards responded: “We’ll certainly take it after going 1-0 down.

But Ken Sema pulled back an equaliser for the Hornets to leave the teams to share the spoils at St. Andrew's. Most Read on Football League World ...

To do so against such stiff opposition only adds to the impressive nature of his performance. But, on the other hand, the performance of Watford showed that there is still a long way to go before Birmingham can be considered a real threat for the top six places. This was a great moment for supporters and shows the impact he may be able to have with the team. Josh Williams has also shown a glimpse of what the future may hold for the club with his appearance on the right flank. The 18-year old Hall popped up in the box at the right moment to poke home the first goal of the game with a tidy finish. This is a clear sign of progress under Eustace and an identity for the team.
