Lewington praise for players

Watford will now be hoping for a plum draw to help with their financial troubles after a comfortable 2-0 success over the Third Division side put them in the hat for Monday's FA cup fourth round draw.

Lewington said: "We came out of the traps straight away and I was impressed with how we battled.

"Some of the players could have been nervous at the prospect of an upset but from one to 11 we were sensational in the first-half.

"We expected a surge from them in the second half and sure enough they hit the crossbar but we sealed the game on 60 minutes and from then on looked totally in control."
