Championship:  "Automatic Ticket To The EPL Is Watford's Target" - Ekong

  Championship:  "Automatic Ticket To The EPL Is Watford's Target" - Ekong By Sampson Adedeji Nigeria's Super Eagles and Watford FC defender, William Troost Ekong, has said the main target of the club this season is to secure automatic promotion to the premier league this season, BSNSports.com.ng reports. The Hornets are on a four-game winning streak and have lost just one of their last 10 to move level on points with second-place Brentford. “There is still a long way to go and we have to play Norwich and all the teams around us,” said the summer signing from Udinese. “I still think it's difficult to say how many points we will need for automatic promotion. In the past it's been between 75 and 90 points, so we want to reach that level before we start looking around at others. “We've got a board up and just crossing off the wins we think we need. I know it's a cliche, but we are taking each game as it comes and the coach is hammering that into us. "We aren't looking at any calculations," he told the club media. The 27 year old Nigeria international has made 22 appearances for the club this season.
