Watford boss Roy Hodgson praised his players for their 0-0 draw with Everton.
Hogdson was delighted with their attitude after relegation had been confirmed last week.
He said, "I think it was a sterling effort from the players. The players have been doing the work with us and there was an enormous honesty about our performance today.
"They played with an integrity and honesty that was really encouraging. Your confidence can never be high after being relegated.
"I was expecting a far worse performance than the one I saw tonight and I can only congratulate the players for their performance against a side with a lot still to play for.
"It is an evening that many of these boys can be really proud of and maybe tomorrow they'll be asking why I have not selected them more often.
"The crowd tonight was quite incredible. There were a few empty seats but they were behind the team and that is good news for the future."
