Championship: Victory Against Wycombe Is What We Needed - Ekong

  By Sampson Adedeji Nigeria's Super Eagles defender William Troost Ekong believed the victory recorded against Wycombe came at the right time ad Watford FC continue the chase to secure automatic ticket to the Premier league, BSNSports.com.ng reports. Two goals from Andy Gray gave the Hornets a comfortable 2-0 win over Wycombe Wanderers on Wednesday night at Vicarage Road. “It was important to make sure we got back to what we were doing before,” said the 27-year-old, speaking to Hive Live. “In the game against Blackburn we were fantastic at the front but in recent weeks we’ve been letting in too many goals, so to get a clean sheet and for Andre [Gray] to get two goals is fantastic for everybody’s confidence and it’s just the result we needed. When you have a squad like we have, you need everyone to chip in and he was fantastic today, so hopefully it’s the first two goals of many to come. “I feel like this is becoming holy ground now. To come and play at Vicarage Road for any team is going to be difficult,” said the Nigerian international. “Everyone’s enjoying their football and they’ve done unreal to keep the pitch how it is because it suits us to play the ball. We need to make our home games count and this should be our fortress," he added. The Hornets have now won 41 points on home turf this season, more than any other Championship team, and will look to add to that impressive tally when Nottingham Forest visit in three days’ time.
