Watford travelled to Deepdale and returned with a 2-2 draw against Preston — a result that, for a first game under a new Head Coach, looks decent… but still leaves the same lingering annoyance. With the season entering the business end, draws aren’t enough, and the pressure is building to start turning draws into wins.
Jon, DCW and Adam Drury (Watford Observer) break down what they learned from the debut outing for new head coach Ed Still, looking at his tactical approach, the 4 Centre Backs defensive structure, and how Georgi performed today and since his return. They also assess the impact of substitutions and whether the pitch conditions played a bigger role than expected.
There’s plenty of positivity too — including encouraging signs from emerging talents like Baah and Mamma — but the big question remains: can Watford find the consistency and cutting edge needed to keep their playoff hopes alive?
With crucial fixtures coming thick and fast, the lads ask: is it time for Watford to kick into gear… or are we running out of road?
(And we are also looking forward as to how often we can get 'Still' into the title of our podcsts)
