“Darius Henderson was superb today. He ran around and put himself about. I think that, sometimes, he thinks that he is just a target player but he's got so much more to his game than that”
“I'm very, very pleased with his performance”.
"Overall, we needed to get back on track and I think it's been a good day.
"I think there were periods in the second half when we were average but we came good in the end so we want to keep that momentum for the full 90 minutes and we'll be a match for anyone”.
Boothroyd then went on to explain his reasoning behind the staged penalty shoot-out after the match,
"We are a young team and we need to be as prepared as we can be for the play-offs.
"You cannot re-create a penalty shoot-out under match conditions, so we re-created it at Vicarage Road - and the fans were brilliant.
"We would have done it regardless of the result of this match."
