Speaking to the media after the 1-1 draw with Blackburn Rovers, Watford Manager Javi Gracia called for arrivals “as soon as possible” and stated that his side has “problems in defence”.
One of Watford’s best players, Kwadawo Baah, has struggled for minutes under Javi Gracia, playing an average of 30.4 minutes under Gracia’s management.
Fans questioned Gracia’s decision not to bring Kwadwo Baah alongside Nestroy Irankunda when he was brought on with around 30 minutes to go, and when asked about Kwadwo Baah’s late arrival with 10 minutes to go, Gracia said it was down to only having “one window”
“We were waiting to see how James and Jeremy felt at that moment because we were not sure that they could see out the whole game”.
“It was something we were waiting until the last ten minutes, in which they told us they could see out the game. Then, at that moment, we brought on KB (Baah).
However, when asked about both Kwadwo Baah and Nestroy Irankunda, he stated that they work well together and are a “good option” With Baah on the right and Irankunda on the left-hand side
“ We are competing many games without players to change, and it’s a crucial moment of the season”.
Watford host Swansea in a 3:00 kick-off in their next match at Vicarage Road and will be looking for reinforcements by then.
