Just got the radio on to hear the first goal which the commentators heaped loads of praise on. Got up late due to being back at work this week and didn't set my alarm to get up for the game. However many changes were made, the right result for us in the end. I guess JG has to keep al players happy but I'd love to see a good attempt at a cup run.
ReutersCopyright: Reuters Watford boss Javi Gracia to BBC Sport: "The most important thing is the confidence I have in all my players. I know them, they deserve to play and when they do it they show what they are able to do. "We had the control, playing away is not easy and with the support of our fans we have had a good performance. On his first anniversary in charge of Watford earlier this week: "I’m very happy here after my first year but for me the most important thing is to send our supporters home happy today." On making 11 changes: "I believe in all the squad and it’s not only words, you have to show it. And today the players showed it, they are working very hard in training and it means in games like today they are able to play at the level they have."
ReutersCopyright: Reuters Newcastle manager Rafael Benitez to BBC Sport: "Obviously we are disappointed. We made a couple of mistakes and conceded two goals in a game that was even and could have gone either way. "You have to create chances to score goals. But in this game you cannot say we were much worse than them. We just have to realise that we cannot go through with this team, it means we have to now concentrate on the league. "We have 15 games now to play and we have to be sure everyone is focused and no distractions. On possible new signings before the transfer window closes: "It’s important to have new faces, but we will see what happens."
