'Our points return against bottom-six teams has let us down a little bit'
Two points and one goal against a pair of teams who were both in the bottom three when Watford played them is not a great return.
Tonight’s 1-1 draw at basement boys Plymouth followed a goalless game with QPR at Vicarage Road, and the Hornets have taken as many points off the current top six as they half from the half dozen teams at the bottom.
“I think our points return as a whole against bottom-six teams this season has let us down a little bit,” admitted head coach Tom Cleverley.
“I don’t think that’s an attitude thing.
“Certainly at Plymouth we deserved all three points, but it is something we need to address: why are we picking up four or five wins against teams in and around the top seven and none against the bottom six?
“We need to look at it and see if there are patterns there we can address as coaches, and move on.
“We move the focus to West Brom now with 31 points from 19 games, and that’s a good return: I’m not focussing on the last two.”
Having gone a goal down inside the last 10 minutes to a Hull side that had lost their last six games, Watford were staring down the barrel of a long journey home with nothing at all until Rocco Vata’s first goal for the club two minutes from the end of normal time levelled the game up.
“It feels like a point gained under the circumstances,” said Cleverley.
“We knew it wouldn’t be easy coming here this evening with a new manager in Ruben, who is a top coach.
“I thought in the first half we showed good periods of quality and personality on the ball.
“We knew they would come with a high press and it was all about having the character to try and break through that.
“Then in the second half as the pitch cut up we maybe tried overplaying because all their chances seemed to come from low turnovers from us, and it was maybe up to me to find the solution.
“Maybe this is where we should have gone a little bit more direct because the pitch wasn’t lending itself to playing football.
“We couldn’t change the momentum of the game in the second half so I was really pleased with the players’ character to get the equaliser after going a goal behind.”
