Cardiff City manager Dave Jones slammed his side's defensive errors after Wednesday's 2-1 defeat at the hands of Watford.

The Bluebirds' miserable home form continued as they slipped to a third successive defeat at Ninian Park following a double from in-form Hornets striker Darius Henderson.

Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink scored his first goal for Cardiff, but Jones was in a downbeat mood after the final whistle.

"I'm very disappointed because I thought that after getting the equaliser we'd have gone on to win the game," he said.

"But you cannot make mistakes at the back like that against a team as good as Watford.

"At the moment it's not going our way, and it's difficult to swallow at times. We never lost the game because we were outplayed, but because we switched off.

"As a team we have to concentrate, particularly on set-plays, as we actually cleared the ball before both goals but were not awake for the second phase.

"We are our own worst enemy and we shouldn't have lost the game."
