He wasn’t able to work his way into a position to hurt the Hornets before being hooked at half-time. The French wing-back was given a torrid time in the first half. Colin was better in the second half, but it was too late. Bielik was industrious, if lacking in quality on the ball at times. He did, however, miss a huge chance to get Blues back into the game. Long struggled in the first half and Davis breezed by him for Watford’s second goal. Blues struggled to get to grips with the hosts in the first half and were fortunate to find themselves just two goals down at the break. Eustace used a break-in-play to pass on some instructions to his players, but Blues couldn’t stem the flow of Watford attacks. Blues’ top scorer raced in behind Watford’s defence only to scuff his shot wide of the post. Blues were also lucky to see Craig Cathcart’s header drift wide following a Watford corner in a disappointing first half. Aside from a 20-minute spell at the start of the second half, where Blues created two good chances, Watford were in complete control. Watford caused lots of problems down Blues’ right and the opening goal arrived via a cross from that side in the sixth minute.

Without hesitation, the Moroccan fired it into the far corner to give Watford an early lead. The Hornets got off to the perfect start as Louza fired his side into the lead with a first-time finish on his weaker foot, gracefully placing Ken Sema’s cross into the net. After the interval, the away side sought to get themselves back into contention, forcing Watford's defence to remain vigilant.

"It's pretty simplistic, you want your best players in those positions that are nearest their goal. "Their partnership, hopefully, will get better and the three behind them - Imran [Louza] getting in the box was important for us as well - have got the intelligence to move and rotate," Wilder added. "We've talked to him at length about being more positive and leading the line and I thought for his 60-minute spell, he was excellent."

When Keinan Davis scored Watford's second goal in the 16th minute last night it ended 22 hours of football since he had last hit the net.

Then it was a case of hit the target, and that’s what I managed to do. “We knew the performance on Saturday was nowhere near good enough, especially for the fans that came and supported us. With a blank weekend on the horizon because of international fixtures, Watford have to build on the Birmingham game when they return to Vicarage Road at the weekend. It helped give Watford only their second win in 10 games, and went some way to erasing the memories of a dismal defeat at QPR on Saturday. “It was sweet to score against Birmingham for obvious reasons, and good to get it in front of their fans.” The 25-year-old striker helped Watford take 10 points from those four games, and his last goal before his strike against Birmingham City was famously the third-minute opener in the 4-0 drubbing of Luton.

Two strikes within the first 16 minutes at Vicarage Road from Imran Louza and Keinan Davis left Blues with all the work to do in the second-half. And despite a ...

He noted that the attitude of his players in the second half was much better. Watford’s win secures their second win in their past ten games and moves them up to tenth place in the Championship table. Lee Bowyer, Birmingham City’s manager, was disappointed with his team’s lack of effort in the first twenty minutes of the match. Chris Wilder, the new Watford manager, expressed his satisfaction with the team’s win in his first match. He praised his players’ excellent performance, especially in the first half. Despite coming off a win against Rotherham, Birmingham City struggled to keep up with Watford throughout the match.

Watford give new manager Chris Wilder a perfect first night at Vicarage Road with a 3-0 win over Birmingham City.
