Watford boss, Paulo Pezzolano, graciously admitted they deserved to lose to Blacking Rovers.
Ryoya Morishita's goal two minutes after half-time secured a deserved away win for Valerien Ismael's men. They controlled the remainder of the half excellently, restricting Watford to very few chances.
The Hornets' chief admitted that his side didn't deserve anything and felt that Rovers dominated in midfield to win the match.
"No, we didn't deserve anything from the game," Pezzolano admitted.

"We lacked ideas and we lacked balance in the middle of the pitch. We were a little bit static on the pitch and we weren't able to take advantage of the spaces they [Blackburn] were conceding.
"We lacked mobility in moments, so that was mainly the problem. There were a few missing and we lined up with the players that were available.
"Regardless, I don't feel that's the main issue. We wanted to be more aggressive, more offensive, from kick off. We did it for the first 15-20 minutes and then it got diluted. In the second half, the team got split.
"We felt it was the right time to line up like this but I assume 100% the responsibility for the outcome of the game."
