Head coach Rob Edwards was disappointed at the goals watfordfc conceded as much as losing his first league game
Head coach Rob Edwards said that while he was disappointed to lose his first league game of the season, the manner of the goals Watford conceded hurt just as much.
“When I look back and reflect on the goals, we could have done better on all of them. There was obviously an element of luck in the first one because the deflection has totally wrongfooted Dan, but we should have been getting closer to the ball.“We had a brilliant opportunity down the other end right before their second goal. We didn’t make the most of it, and then we didn’t organise ourselves when there was a quick transition in play. Then we didn’t defend our box well enough either.
“I’m not going to single players out but, as a team, there were times today when we should have defended better when they were running at us with the ball. As a group, as a unit, we should and could have defended better.” “If you make straight runs in that situation you are probably going to be offside, so we were looking to angle our runs. The first goal was a good example, a move that was well executed: we saw where the space was, Joao’s pass and Ken’s run, and we get a goal.
