"The fans have been unbelievable with me ever since I came here in 1996. They made today special. It’s not about me but it’s the first game in the rest of the season, so fantastic."
"I'm a little bit frustrated. It was a good performance, but we didn't take our chances in the beginning. We're getting a lot of good results away but today was an exception."
"It's always hard work when you play in the Premier League and of course today it showed that we’d been away on internationals. It showed that a few players have been injured, not really 100 per cent match fit yet, but we got through it and that's important. We started off sloppily. "The first 15-20 minutes I think Watford deserved to get the lead. It was almost like we were waiting for them to score. We managed to change the system a little bit and got into the game. Juan got into the game for us. We created chances. We scored a great goal, could have had more goals because it was end to end in the last 20 minutes of the first half. The second half was disappointing, again."
"Shawy, I think he was one of the big plusses. Rashy and Anthony up front too, but the two centre-backs with Jones especially and Chris I thought they defended well for us. Without them today, I think it would have been a different result I have to say."
"He did [pick up a knock]. I'm not sure how he’ll be for Tuesday, but we’ll check on him and we’ve got a couple of days now to get ready for Tuesday [against Wolves]. That’s the main thing."
"I have to say the fans have been unbelievable with me ever since I came here in 1996. They made today special. It’s not about me today, but it’s the first game in the rest of the season, so fantastic."
"We've been excellent. The players have been excellent, they've done magnificently. The training on Friday was the best since I’ve been here, maybe too good. The intensity, the quality, the focus was good. Then we came out here and was a little bit we weren’t sure. "When three points are at stake, it's always a little bit more and you've got 76,000 people wanting you to do well. But after 15-20 minutes today we could see what the potential is in this group and second half we can improve on that one." * Speaking to MUTV
