Beating Watford aint what it used to be.

And that’s sad, they have a hell of a history, too bad they are just horrible right now. But I’ll take the win, if and only because it gets the Blues one more step close to the EPL.

From the Gaffer *From the official club site*

“Watford were always going to be a tough nut to crack but we started with the right approach and had it not been for some tremendous saves from the keeper we’d have gone in ahead at the break.

“After the interval the home side came back at us but we defended resolutely and what shone through, and what I’m extremely proud of, was how we dealt with the pressure. We kept calm heads, kept working hard and Cameron’s goal won it for us.”

“As I’ve said, I’m extremely proud of the performance and result today but we put that behind us now and concentrate entirely on preparing the players for the Preston game.

“Hopefully St. Andrew’s will be full and be rocking like it was when we played Wolves recently and we can go out there and put in an equally impressive display.

“We may not necessarily need to win our last two games but make no mistake about it that is our aim. We have to fully focus on picking up our results and not worry about what’s going on elsewhere – and that’s what we intend to do.”
