Chris Wilder said that Watford's 2-0 victory over Stoke was only a small measure of solace following his incredibly miserable season.
The former Middlesbrough manager of the Hornets, who was reportedly ready to be replaced, refused to comment on his future at Vicarage Road.
Imran Louza and Keinan Davis scored goals in the second half to guarantee Wilder's team at least finished the season in the top half.
After 70 minutes, Louza's incredible 20-yard curler pierced Stoke's defense, and four minutes later, Davis, a Villa loanee, beat Matija Sarkic with a deflected shot.
The players were told there was always something to play for, according to Wilder. Whether as an individual or as a team, there is always someone looking, and there is pride in donning that shirt.It might have been a terribly terrible afternoon, in my opinion. The environment could have changed, but it didn't because we obtained a result.The fans wanted to see a winning team, and they got to witness one today, even though any of the three outcomes was possible.
Both they and we had some positive moments in the opening frame. However, we score three goals in a row to make it a pleasant afternoon in the second half.A minor plus is being able to take some solace from a very poor season. But while we were strolling around (on the lap of appreciation), it was depressing because this wasn't supposed to be the conclusion of the season. But it is, and there's a good reason for it.Personally, I've had a strange old season. It has been quite difficult. In terms of managing winning teams, developing teams, and earning personal honors, I've had a rather good career.
"You have to balance the smooth with the rough. All these experiences have made me a better boss, but I haven't lost my temper.I'm just focusing on this victory right now; anything else that comes up later will be discussed because I haven't sat down with anyone and don't want to get into gut feelings.
Alex Neil, the manager of Stoke, was relieved to put an end to the Potters' disappointing season, especially since his old team Sunderland, which he left in August, secured a play-off spot.
