Steve Sidwell says Watford’s decision to change manager for the last two games of the survival battle is strange.
Nigel Pearson, who has a track record of avoiding relegation at previous clubs, is reportedly being replaced at Vicarage Road.
Watford are not yet safe after their 3-1 defeat at West Ham on Friday.
They are one place, three points and seven goals behind Albion ahead of matches at home to Manchester City and away to Arsenal.
Sidwell told listeners to BBC Radio 5 live: “It’s strange, strange timing with that.”
Watford have conceivably got enough points to stay up already and benefited from Bournemouth's defeat to Southampton today.
But they aim to add to their current tally of 34.
Pearson was appointed in December, when the Hornets were bottom of the table, and won seven of his 23 games
