Pre-match views
Coach Anthony Wright: "Tuesday's performance wasn't us, and we'll hope to learn from that and put it right against Watford.
"We had objectives of reaching the top two, and we do have a few more games in hand. But, a top-eight finish would mean we still qualify of the play-offs which is what we'll aim for."
