Joel Ekstrand: 'Watford slump not Slavisa Jokanovic's fault'

Joel Ekstrand insists that Watford's recent slump is not the fault of head coach Slavisa Jokanovic.

Watford defender Joel Ekstrand has backed his boss Slavisa Jokanovic after the club's recent dip in form.

The Hornets have dropped from top of the Championship to seventh because of four straight defeats.

"Obviously people speak about [a manager being sacked] when you lose four in a row but I don't think it is his fault," Ekstrand told the Watford Observer.

"I think everybody should take responsibility; the players, the staff, everybody. I don't agree [that he should be sacked]."

Jokanovic is Watford's fourth manager of the season. He started his reign with an unbeaten run of four games.
