Preston boss Ryan Lowe:
"Watford are all big, strong lads - you don't play in the Premier League for nothing. I know they've come down, but I thought we handled ourselves fantastically well.
"There was a few moments which were a little bit scary in terms of their quality, but more importantly for us to keep playing the way we are on a weekly basis is pleasing.
"The only frustration is we haven't scored to give our fans something to sing about - they've been great. We've had seven points out of five league games, we would have loved nine or 10, 11 or 12.
"We're just lacking that little bit of quality in front of goal and, once we get that, whether it ricochets off a body or a head, whatever way it comes, I'm sure we'll move on up."
Watford manager Rob Edwards:
"It was a hard-earned point that could have been three. Preston have shown they are very difficult to score against, but the thing is, maybe we could have taken one of our three or four big chances that we did have.
"I think they're good players and we would expect them, on another day, to put those away.
"And they know that as well, because they're good players and we've got to demand high standards. When you get those sorts of chances, you need to punish teams.
"Our goalkeeper has made some good saves as well, so if you don't win it, make sure you don't lose."

Why should a man go to work, if he has the health and strength to stay in bed?
