Last Year's Top Scorer: Allan Smart

Key Man: Watford's flirt with the Premirship was very brief but they now have the experience to mount another assault on the country's big guns. One person who benefitted from that experience was long-serving Allan Smart. He scored some valuable goals in the Premiership and will be relied upon to do the business this time around. Smart's goals might not be enough though...
