Watford captain Mattie Pollock calls for unity following winless streak

Watford captain Mattie Pollock has urged his teammates to remain united following a five-match winless streak across all competitions. The team dropped to 18th place in the Championship standings after a narrow defeat against West Bromwich Albion on Saturday. Watford opened the 2026-27 season with a win over Southampton but has since recorded two draws and two losses in four league matches, alongside an EFL Cup exit against Peterborough last month. Manager Alessio Dionisi faces two upcoming home fixtures, with Preston arriving at Vicarage Road on Tuesday followed by a match against Stoke City on Saturday. Pollock stated that the team must capitalize on home-field advantage and improve their goal-scoring output to improve their standing. The captain emphasized that the squad remains focused on shifting their recent momentum to ensure a competitive season.
