Flores shoulders blame for Watford slump

Quique Sanchez Flores has looked to take the pressure off his under-performing Watford players by shouldering the blame for their poor run in the Premier League. Since climbing into the top eight after a 2-1 win over Crystal Palace on February 13, Watford have not won in the league, and as a result have dropped into the lower half of the table Although they are still 10 points above the bottom three, Watford’s run of one draw and four successive defeats has threatened to leave a sour taste on their return to the top flight.
