Hornets are having fun but it’s time to go back to basics

WOLVES v WATFORD

ETIENNE CAPOUE said thathat this week about Javi Gracia,, the understated character in charge of a Watford side attempting to recover from a home mauling by Bournemouth.

That won’t be easy against a Wolves team embracing allll the Premier League hass to offer. With four wins and two draws from their last six, Nuno Espirito Santo has forged a resilient side that knows how to defend as well as attack through the clever feet of Joao Moutinho and Ruben Neves.

Come January, it might be quite tricky keeping hold of Neves, not to mention a few others if the good results continue. Capoue ( b e l o w) s e e s s i mi l a r i t i e s between Watford’s newly promoted team three years ago and tomorrow’s lively opponents, who, along with their love for expansive football, are no strangersgers thithis term to 1-0 wins. WWatford need to rediscover ththat kind of discipline.

Wi t h n o c l e a n s h e e t s since the opening day, they need to go back to basics if they are to avoid a third defeat on the trot.

Gracia is definitely right in insisting you should enjoy everevery day, especially in football where careers pass by so quickly. But nobody enjoys losing.

The Spaniard’s positive philosophy will be much easier to follow with success at Molineux.
