Rodgers: Plans are coming together
The former Chelsea reserve team manager - who replaced Aidy Boothroyd last year - insisted their 2-0 victory over Blackpool is evidence the Hornets are "on the up".[LNB]Rodgers said: "I am hungry for success at Watford and the structures and systems I have put in place since my arrival are beginning to pay dividends.[LNB]"My defence regularly got some stick earlier in the season but we are now looking sound and keeping clean sheets.[LNB]"We are on the up and are playing with confidence. Today the first half was fairly even but I knew we could step it up a gear and the first goal mattered a great deal."[LNB]There was to be no repeat of the seven-goal thriller Blackpool edged on November 1 last year, but Watford were out for revenge in their attempt to move away from the relegation zone.[LNB]Goals from Mike Williamson - the defender's first for the club - and Tamas Priskin sealed the win against the Seasiders.[LNB]Williamson put the visitors into the lead with a powerful header from 12 yards in the 52nd minute.[LNB]And Priskin sealed the three points with six minutes remaining when his delicate lob over Matt Gilks found the back of the net.[LNB]Blackpool manager Tony Parkes believes his side were suffering after a tough week, but admitted mistakes need to be cut out.[LNB]He said: "We look a little tired after three games in a week but that is not the total excuse. We need to tighten up and stop helping the opposition with our own mistakes.[LNB]"It was all a little disappointing and I think both managers knew the first goal was going to be the big goal today."[LNB][LNB]
