Lifted this off NUFC.com as I couldn't be arsed watching match of the day.
Quite staggered...
McClaren said after the game:
"I thought it (the booing) was very harsh.
"We're all angry and frustrated. The players in there, believe you me, they're disappointed.
"We've performed today on a difficult pitch, in difficult circumstances, and I think we've dominated and controlled the game. We can't ask anymore.
"Fifty thousand people have to get behind this team and support this team. We have to stick together.
"I know it's difficult, it's difficult for all of us to show a little bit of patience, but there's work going on and Tuesday at Manchester United is the next challenge for us.
"Players have to be big enough, bold enough and have courage. We have spoken about that, not having luck at one end.
"Everyone is frustrated. We are angry, the same as the fans. The players are disappointed.
"We came to Watford to win. We came with a strong team. We could do no more than we did, apart from put the ball in the net.
"We came with a game plan. We played three at the back, controlled the three strikers, we did everything – but score.
"I cannot fault the players, but that is four 1-0 defeats we have had, but everybody can see that the team is not far away from doing something. Yes Steve, going down.....
About Thauvin:
"He's a young kid who's just coming in and he's got to adapt to this kind of thing and we're certainly behind the scenes supporting him.
"We wanted to win, I think we played to win and we went to win. I don't think we can do much more apart from stick the ball in the back of the net."
