McCarthy: Watford Worthy Winners

Last updated : 03 February 2008 By Sam
Wolves travelled to Vicarage Road in good mood following an FA Cup 4-1 win against The Hornets last weekend but travelled back to the Midlands pointless after a 3-0 defeat to Adrian Boothroyd's men.

"We had an awful start. To be 1-0 down in the first minute is dreadful but our reaction to that was terrific," the Wolves boss told Sky Sports after the match

"We played excellently in the first half and perhaps should have got back into it.

"The second half wasn't going anywhere until we conceded from a corner and then it was a done deal.

"They defended particularly well but we struggled to pick the right pass at the right times in the final third.

"After the second goal they deserved to win and it's the last 25 minutes of the game which have cost us.

"We had a lot of players who didn't perform and there was an element of payback and revenge from the 4-1."
