HORNETS GAFFER STAYING DEFIANT

Wilder’s positive in defeat

- Chris Wilson

BEATEN boss Chris Wilder was keen to accentuate the positives after Watford’s defeat at Hull left them six points adrift of the play-offs.

Wilder heavily criticised his players following their midweek defeat at home to Cardiff, and the loss at Hull was another hammer blow in their bid to be involved in the end-of-season showdown.

But Wilder still felt the Hornets deserved at least a point at the MKM Stadium.

Their former midfielder Ozan Tufan scored the winning goal from the penalty spot after 25 minutes.

Wilder said: “That was a typical Championship game, and I thought we deserved something from it.

“I thought we did what we could to try to get into the game, and I thought the attitude was good.

“I was honest with them after the game and I told them that we deserved something from it.

“I had no complaints with the penalty decision.
