Watford were totally on top in the second half till the beverages break, however Pearson stated there was no point home on the breaks themselves, especially on a night when the mercury was still at 28 degrees centigrade at kick-off.
“I don’t think there is any point to say too much about that, they are part of the new organisation,” he stated.
” All I would state is that when you remain in the ascendancy in some cases it provides your opponent a possibility to regroup. In the first half they were very much on top prior to the break as we remained in the second half.
“Read into that what you will. But I don’t think it was a key factor in the result tonight.”
