Wilder Worry

Confidence-hit Hornets slump to QPR loss

New Watford boss Chris Wilder admitted he has to restore confidence in his players after his reign began with defeat at QPR.

The loss in Wilder’s first match in charge left the Hornets tenth in the table and facing a major fight to reach the Championship play-offs.

Tim Iroegbunam’s first-half strike gave Gareth Ainsworth his first win as Rangers manager, but left Wilder pondering how to change his side’s fortunes.

Wilder said: “There looks to be a little bit of fragility to our play and definitely a lack of confidence. It’s something we’ve got to get over pretty quickly.

“I thought their desire for three points was a little bit bigger than ours. We’ve got to take more risks, be more productive, and that’s something I’ve got to help the players with.”
