Key Player:
Marvin Sordell: The exciting young forward has been a revelation for the Hornets this season scoring a credible 6 goals in 14 starts and 4 sub appearances. Sordell has pace to burn and looks to be an excellent prospect having being promoted from the youth ranks last season. Sordell went out on loan to Tranmere Rovers last January making 8 appearances and when Sordell returned to Vicarage Road he came back a much better player and has been impressing ever since.
