Ben congratulations another away win how’ you feel yeah really really really good actually yeah we was uh we was buzzing cuz obviously first half we we’ve come in at half time we got a got a right uh right pace from the gaffer he wasn’t happy with our performance at all
In the start and we weren’t either on the pitch it just wasn’t wasn’t clicking they running running Riot and uh seemed like we were pending our box for most most periods of the first half and obviously with their first action they they score a goal you I that’s old man’s
Up as well I was partly to blame for that uh I’ve um I just thought it was impossible for him to score from that angle and you know the way he shaped up I thought he was going to cut cut the ball back and you know I’ve committed a
Cal sin and and gambled and he’s done me in near post which was obviously really disappointing but obviously yeah you have to then stay in the game and uh come in at half time and try and regroup as best you can and then obviously we
Came up in the second half it was still still a tough game they still had they still had periods where they had opportunities and uh but yeah I think we show showed our fighting spirit I mean re Reed he’s come on and he was brilliant mate when he come on he’s won
Three like headers that he wasn’t entitled to win in the middle of the park and obviously we broke from that and we’ve scored the goal and then you know just just rewards for him as well getting the winner which we we was all really happy about you could see all the
Lads were buzzing for him so uh you know that was great to see you’ve mentioned their goal but you made some top saves in the second half particularly from the free kick and there’s one at the corner as well how do you feel about that and
And yeah yeah of course that’s my job I got that’s what I’ve got to do um but obviously the overriding feeling for me was disappointment of the first goal because we obviously want to keep clean sheets and you know that was that was obviously another a clean sheet lost in
In the second minute of the game which is obviously really disappoint but obviously like I said you got got to show a bit of the proverbial balls in the second half and uh just stay in the game as long as you can you know if they get the opportunities we just got to
Keep the ball out of the net and uh you know it proved proved right in the end we got we got the uh we got the three points and it was uh you know brilliant team effort great mentality to to stay in the game and go on and win it second
Half you had the way fans right behind you quite literally could you hear that that full support yeah they un believe they me brilliant they were brilliant way at Preston as well big big uh big following and uh they got behind us and uh yeah now they’ve been brilliant in
All the away trips especi home as well I’ve got to say um you know we going to need them as well you know next two home games to get get right behind us and uh you know we all love it when they make that effort to travel up all all this
Way up to Blackburn four hour or 8 Hour round trip if you want to put it that way and uh you know and give them that result at the end you could see that there was all buzzing as well so you know it’s it’s a it’s a great Collective
Work I think us and us and the supporters it looked like you enjoyed the full-time celebration yeah I think it’s always it’s always nice when you get a late winner isn’t it and uh you know we just we kept pressing we kept pressing we took the shots on and uh you
Know luckily a coule bounced out for us nice and we got we got The Tapp in so uh yeah now brilliant it was brilliant to share that emotion with with everyone that came up today as you’ve said two big home games up next what can you
Build on from this and does that give you a lot of momentum going into those yeah I mean obviously next the next three or four games I think it’s 10 days isn’t it so uh we got we got a big uh yeah big ask from The Lads but obviously
We’ll get back now we’ll recover uh we’re in tomorrow morning and uh you know try and get everyone right and then obviously Christmas day um probably go in and do a little bit on the Bristol City game and then uh yeah we got to just keep keep plugging away but
Obviously we’ got improve on the first half performance and show a bit more of of the second half today like we did at Preston as well so you know we’ve we’ve been great in the second half so uh I think uh that’s that’s something we need
To work on just starting the game a little bit better great stuff thank cheers Lads thank You

hes really proved himself as a brilliant keeper, love that hes been given chances
Love it! Watford number 1 for the foreseeable future.
Don't be so hard on yourself Ben I'd say you were right to gamble on a pullback.
