Watford have just fired two of their most committed star players due to their poor performance in their last losing match against Coventry City.

Due to their subpar performance in their most recent defeat at the hands of Coventry City, Watford recently parted ways with two of its most devoted star players.

At Vicarage Road, Coventry overcame a 1-0 deficit to defeat Watford thanks to two goals from Haji Wright.

The three points were necessary for the FA Cup quarterfinalists to stay in the championship play-off picture as they don’t play another championship match until March 29.

Wright, an international for the United States, scored a calm goal from the edge of the area in the 72nd minute to cancel out Ryan Porteous’ headed opening goal in the 40th minute.

Watford suffered a setback as a result; their colorful and spirited performance belied their recent bad run of luck.

Only one of the teams led by Valerien Ismael has won their last ten league games and runs the risk of getting caught up in the crowded relegation struggle.

Brad Collins’s outstretched left hand prevented an Edo Kayembe shot between the legs of a Coventry defender, giving Watford a positive start.

After twenty minutes, the home team seized the lead in an easy manner after Ismael Kone had missed another chance.

A long pass from Ryan Andrews found Porteous, whose flick went over Collins and into the far corner.

Wright capitalized on a Watford player colliding with another at the other end, but his effort only found Watford goalkeeper Daniel Bachmann in the midriff.

After being outplayed and appearing unfocused for the majority of the half, Coventry unexpectedly caught up Ellis Simms gave Josh Eccles a short pass, which he used to defeat Porteous. Bachmann then grabbed Josh Eccles’ legs because he had rushed recklessly out of his goal. Wright firmly landed his spot-kick in the corner.

With the equalizer, Watford continued their incredible streak of only having led at halftime twice all season—the fewest of any club in the top four divisions in England.

This seemed like a game that Mark Robins’ team needed to win because they would have a 20-day league break following their FA Cup quarterfinal at Wolves the following weekend.

Watford, on the other hand, kept generating the better chances, as seen by another Kone attempt and a Wesley Hoedt header that Collins stopped.

The Coventry goalie then remained steadfast at the near post to thwart an attack by the formidable Yaser Asprilla.

However, as they had done in the first half, Coventry created a goal out of thin air.

Eccles, who was playing on the edge of the area, scored his 13th league goal of the year with a low, true shot into the bottom corner.

Watford persisted in their pressure, but they were unable to create any obvious gaps before the final whistle, which was met with jeers from the home supporters who were still inside Vicarage Road.
