Roy Hodgson admits Watford are running out of time to keep themselves in the Premier League.
The Hornets remain in 19th position after a 4-0 loss to Wolves on Thursday, leaving three points from safety with 10 games to go.
"Wolves are a quality team and had a good season with some top-class international players," Hodgson said. "At half-time we were staring down the barrel of a gun. We had to salvage something from the game and held them at bay.
"It was a wonder chip from Neves but at 3-0 you are in big trouble.
"We didn't defend the first one well enough, the next two it is pretty obvious. All the goals are mistakes, some are clearer mistakes than others.
"It was disappointing in every respect. We have a very sad dressing room. That is what we sign up for. It gets hard when your players don't care enough, but we are not in that position yet. We have to hold our hands up that we are not good enough at times, but not that they don't care.
"These players need to feel anxiety because we are running out of time."
