Jim: Defeat Deserved

Town manager Jim Magilton says Town deserved to lose against Watford earlier today, after a poor first half performance.

Jim: "I felt we were poor, especially in the first-half, they were stronger than us physically and mentally and we had no one brave enough to get on the ball.

"Our two front players struggled to get into the game in the first-half, whereas their front two never stopped working.

"Both goals were poor from our point of view, especially the first one when I'm sure our 'keeper will put his hands up to.

"It was only when Shumi came on that we started to get people on the ball. He wanted the ball and tried to get us going.

"I have said all along that Watford are a strong side and if you finish above them in the table you are going to be in the Play-Offs at least. They showed how far we have to go still but I'm expecting a reaction when we travel to Crystal Palace on Tuesday night.

"It will be another difficult game and we will have to be a lot better than we were today to get something from the game."

I'm really dissappointed with this result. They had a few players missing and I honestly thought we'd take three points. West Brom lost as well so it would of put us right in the mix for winning this division, not the playoffs. Bummer.

Same old situation. If a team plays string physical stuff, we usually fold. You can't go up unless you can mix it a bit.
