There were almost 1,000 Watford fans who braved the biting cold and overcame the train strike to make the six-hour round trip, and that was not lost on the Watford boss.
“It might sound a bit of a cliché but they really help us.
“The home crowd was loud and you could feel them lift their players and influence the referee. But then every time we had a chance or we did something good, I heard our fans just as much.
“Towards the end of the game, it was only our fans I could hear. It means a lot to us to hear that.
“We don’t always stop to think about things like there are no trains for the fans, because you are so concentrated on the game. But for what they did today, I take my hat off to them and say a big thanks.”
Not the best facilities for away fans either.......Toilets broken due to burst pipes, portaloos etc
