Tony Mowbray says he was delighted for everyone associated with West Bromwich Albion to see his side defeat Watford 2-1 at The Hawthorns after what's been a challenging run.
The Baggies came into the clash with the Hornets on the back of three successive defeats and five points adrift of the Sky Bet Championship play-off positions, knowing only a victory would realistically keep their hopes alive.
A first-half effort from Karlan Grant was followed up by a second by Mikey Johnston after the interval, with Tom Fellows claiming the assist for both.
Watford pulled one back, but Mowbray's men hung on to secure a welcome win in front of their own supporters.
Tony said: “I’m delighted for everybody. I’m delighted for the fans, I’m obviously really delighted for the players after what’s been a tough week.
“The last few days have been tough after that third game at Bristol City and how cruel that was.
“I’m happy for everybody today. We’ve got four massive games to go and that was the first one ticked off today. We talked during the week about trying to win all five.
“It wasn’t really a team I recognised today. I was talking to the analysts after the game and we only had 39 per cent of the ball.
“Normally we have close to 60 per cent and I’ve just said to the players, maybe some days we have to give the ball up a little bit and not have has much domination of the game, but get bigger chances because there is space and our forward players, Mikey, Tom and Karlan can run in behind.
“We had four or five really big chances today and we managed to take two of them.
“It’s food for thought moving forward for me.
“We work on crosses, finishing, cutbacks every single day in training and that’s where the two goals have come from today.
“As I say, I’m delighted for the fans today. I know there’ll be a frustration there among the fans that’s we’ve not won games. Everyone has given everything today.
“The players are hugely committed to being successful and the staff work relentlessly. I’m pleased for the staff, the players and the supporters.
“Let’s keep going and rolling on. Let’s see what happens. I won’t get carried away because we’ve won one game, but it’s nice to get that feeling again back in your stomach of a success. To get the rewards is pleasing.”
