itemprop=description content=It's now 15 league and cup away games without a win for Watford, who largely contributed to their own downfall at Sunderland
The ink is barely dry on Valerien Ismael’s new contract and his Watford side have given him a very clear reminder of the size of the job he has on his hands just to keep the Hornets away from the Championship’s trap door.
The poor souls here tonight had very little to get excited about. A couple of shots from distance maybe, but otherwise corners and free kicks that came to nothing. Not only that, Sunderland grew in confidence as a result, and the little resistance Watford mustered after the interval ended after an hour when they allowed the home side to cross, head back into the six-yard box and then head home – again with the minimum of defensive competition for each phase of play.
Watford mustered 11 goal attempts, but it’s hard to remember any of them – and that’s because they really didn’t amount to anything much at all. Due to a family bereavement Matheus Martins was not in the squad, with Ismael saying: “We send all our love to him. He'll only be back with us when the time is right for him.”
Four minutes later Roberts broke down the left and squared for Bellingham, but his low shot from the edge of the box was a routine stop for Bachmann.Slowly Watford were enjoying more of the ball, and for longer, although they were not post a great deal of threat.
