Tom Cleverley has right to feel let down by 4/10 individual in Preston loss
Watford’s poor form away from home continued on Wednesday night, as a 3-0 defeat to Preston North End marked the third consecutive defeat the Hornets have suffered on their travels in the Championship.
Hornets boss Tom Cleverley is currently overseeing a 2024/25 campaign which could turn out to be his first full season in management, and his side sit eighth in the Championship table after eight games.
Promising victories at Vicarage Road such as a 3-0 triumph over Stoke City back in August, and a 2-1 win over league leaders Sunderland in late September demonstrate the sort of positive performances the Hertfordshire outfit are capable of.
But the Hornets have not won away from home since a dramatic 3-2 victory at Millwall on the opening day of the campaign, and unless Cleverley can address his side’s form on the road, a genuine play-off push looks beyond their capabilities.
The Watford boss will be unhappy with the manner of his team’s 3-0 loss at Deepdale, while he may be particularly unsatisfied with the performance of attacking midfielder Edo Kayembe.
