I am wondering if Pearson's impact at watford is ultimately short-lived.. don't know why particularly, but there was a lot of talk about increased discipline etc when he came in.. thats Ok when you win, but when you don't it can wear on players pretty quickly..
I think his first few games were against out of form teams. I know you still have to beat them (unlike us during our "easy run") but it does give you momentum. Perhaps that is slowing now?
