Right-back Carlos Edwards has revealed that there was no Roy Keane-style rollocking from Paul Jewell after last night’s 3-0 defeat to Watford. The Trinidadian says the new manager took a much calmer approach in the dressing room after the game.
Edwards said: "We were poor and I was shocked how subtle and calm the manager was after the game.
"We were let off easy peasy and if it had been the previous manager the club would need a new dressing room now. As players we have to be relieved that we did not get our heads chewed off.
"The manager still made his point and got his message across, but it boils down to the fact that we are aware that we have to improve as we cannot carry on playing like we did last night. We were miles off the pace and did not look like scoring when balls were placed in the box.”
Edwards admitted that Watford’s two-goal hero Danny Graham was his man at the third minute corner from which the Championship’s top scorer put the Hornets ahead: "I take full responsibility as Danny Graham was the man I was marking, but he was two yards out when he headed the ball and we have a 6’7” keeper in goal.”
