Boss slams beaten Hornets

Watford manager Adrian Boothroyd has demanded answers after Wednesday's 3-0 defeat to Barnsley left his side's automatic promotion hopes hanging in the balance.
The Hornets could have leaped up the table from fifth to first with three points from a clash against opposition languishing in the relegation zone.
But his inconsistent team were soundly beaten at Vicarage Road and are now two points adrift of the automatic promotion places.
"I'm very, very disappointed and I would like a few answers tomorrow from my players," fumed Boothroyd.
"We are one of the favourites and we have a responsibility when teams come here to defend to break them down and we didn't do that.
"There was a chance to go top with four games to go and we haven't taken it which is very irritating."
