Pedro will be urged to play more in opponents’ half as other watfordfc players return to fitness
Any fears that Joao Pedro’s slightly uncomfortable looking exit from the pitch on Saturday may mean he is injured again were quickly dismissed by head coach Slaven Bilic this morning.
“I spoke to him yesterday and he is ok. He’s very happy and feeling confident – he’s always confident to be fair, but now he knows that he can play 75 minutes or whatever without problems.“You could see in the second half on Saturday that he’s still not fit enough, and he’s not always present where you need him in every move. But for that you need games and unfortunately we don’t have friendlies to build him up.
“Joao started the game, we had Tom Cleverley come on, we had Ken Sema come on, we had Imran Louza come on. They all got a few minutes. They need games under their belts, physically and psychologically. “Draws are enough if you want to maintain a good atmosphere and are happy to be in mid-table, but for what we want to do we have to start winning games. Not just one win and then a draw – we have to win games – plural.”
