ISMAEL HITS OUT AT HIS SLOPPY HORNETS
The Football League Paper|February 25, 2024
VALERIEN Ismael insists he remains ‘comfortable’ about his position despite Huddersfield’s victory consigning his side to seven home league games without a win – with the Watford boss calling on his players to look at their own performance to find the root cause.

ISMAEL HITS OUT AT HIS SLOPPY HORNETS

The home fans made their displeasure abundantly clear as Watford stumbled through the early going, prompting Ismael to make a pair of first-half substitutions.

That had the desired effect, but only to a point, with Emmanuel Dennis smashing home the opener shortly after the break from Yaser Asprilla’s square ball.

The Hornets wasted a fleet of chances to kill the game off, repeatedly opening Huddersfield up only for their finishing to be found lacking.

Terriers substitute Danny Ward punished that wastefulness, scoring twice to secure a vital win for the relegation-battling visitors.
