Ekong disappointed with Watford’s draw against Bournemouth

William Troost-Ekong is happy with his performance for
Watford against Bournemouth but disappointed they didn’t pick all
the three points at stake.

The center-back missed Watford midweek win over Brentford, but
returned for last weekend’s draw against the Cherries and was voted
Man of the match.

The Hornets played out a frustrating 1-1 draw with their
visitors and Troost-Ekong told Hive Live Extra they are
disappointed not to get a win.

“We are a little bit disappointed to only get a point, but if
you’d have said before the game we’d get a point, we’d have
probably taken it,” he said.

“Of course it’s disappointing when you concede so late in the
game and it felt a bit like a loss, but if you look back at the
game, without a biased view, they had the ball a lot so a draw w as
probably a fair result.

“We should have perhaps tried to defend a bit higher, especially
in the second half, but it’s quite difficult as we didn’t have the
right pressure on the ball. They tried to play behind us quite a
lot, so they pinned us back a bit with the ball in behind. They
moved the ball well and as soon as we tried to get up the pitch,
they tried to get behind us. They had quick players, so we had to
cover the space.” he said

Troost-Ekong and his teammates will next face newly-promoted
side Wycombe Wanderers on Tuesday.
