"Life's too short to worry about risks and challenges... I want us to dream and enjoy the ride."
Those were the words of Rob Edwards as he prepared to start his first season as a head coach in the Championship with Watford.
Nine months later and the ride continues for Edwards - but it is now Watford's rivals Luton Town doing the dreaming as he steers them towards a second successive appearance in the play-offs, and the possibility of promotion to the Premier League.
Having lasted just 11 games at Vicarage Road, the 40-year-old will take on his old club for the first time on Saturday with Luton fourth in the table, six places and nine points better off than their rivals down the M1.
