"The better team on the night got the result and nothing went right for us. But sometimes you have to hold your hands up and say the best team won.
"We didn't get going from the start and never got into the game throughout the 90 minutes.
"It is one extreme to another, as no-one played well and that is frustrating so soon after the Leeds game.
"I have never seen so much go wrong in a match as it did for us tonight.
"Credit to Watford. They played well and deserved to win and I will look at the video and see why we were so poor.
"We will feel sorry for ourselves for a few days but we will be back in next week to start again and I will be looking for a positive response from my players as I want to see how determined they are.
"I could come up with a million excuses but at the end of the day we have been well beaten."

"We started brightly and scored at the right times.
"I'm very happy with my front players and feel that we don't rely on just one man as we did last season but all of my players did well tonight.
"Cardiff will be a good side this season but that makes tonight's performance all the better for us.
"I have some hungry players at this club and it looks good for the future as there are definitely goals in my side."
