Boothroyd: Worst-ever display
31 Mar 2008 - 14:18:22
Watford boss Aidy Boothroyd was left with nothing to celebrate after the third anniversary of his time in charge of the Hornets was marked with a 3-0 thumping at Hull City.
The result was a major blow to Watford's hopes of gaining automatic promotion and Boothroyd was upset at the performance of his side at the KC Stadium.
He said: "It was the third anniversary of me taking over this week and that was without doubt the worst performance during my time here.
"We were beaten by a better team. They were better than us at the back, in the middle and up front. I have absolutely no complaints.
"We are usually good starters, but we gave away two really poor goals early on and then faced an uphill battle.
"They out-worked us, which is incredibly unusual for us. We got swept away, but I just hope we have got the result out of our system."
