"The match could not go on. We don't want players injured, people pay good money to be entertained and it was a bit of a farce”, explained a wet looking Boothroyd.
"We played well up until the monsoon and on another day, if the weather had been different, we might have got the three points."
"I'm pleased with some of the performances today and the good thing is now we have another game in hand and we have to win it.”
Young Hungarian International, Tamas Priskin making his first Premiership start, came in for special praise from the likeable Watford manager,
"I haven't been sure that he was ready but he really showed me that he is. He took his goal beautifully so I'm sad for him that it will get chalked off.
"I also thought Anthony McNamee was excellent today and I was pleased with the way we played."
