Watford's inability to make the most of set pieces has been a recurring issue throughout the season, with their recent match against Preston highlighting this problem. Despite having numerous corners, Watford failed to pose a significant threat and missed out on potential scoring opportunities. Tom Cleverley acknowledges the importance of set pieces in the modern game, as they can account for a significant portion of a team's goals. Watford needs to improve their execution and create more chances from their own set pieces.

While there may be a tiny amount of mitigation for not striking a cross on the run perfectly, failure to make corners count when the taker can place the ball down and there is nobody within 10 yards of him is much harder to defend.

“We look at the delivery, we look at the areas that we’re trying to cover and if people are maybe not doing their jobs,” said Tom Cleverley.“You have to value set pieces in the modern game though, because up to a third of your goals in a season can come from set pieces.“We’ve been strong and brave – but on the flip side we need to see more chances created from our own.

“Ipswich might have more reason than us to be motivated, but then that’s my job to ensure we are fully motivated and relentless not just tomorrow but for the rest of the season.”
