WATFORD fans will be hoping that it's a case of starting as they mean to go on with another hatful of goals with no return at Boreham Wood today.

Goals from Tamas Priskin, Marlon King and Hameur Bouazza left Aidy Boothroyd a happy man, but one who is still looking to add to his squad.

He said: "We had a competitive game here and this was about taking it to the next stage. My starting eleven got an hour under their belts today but we've still got a long way to go, but that's understandable as we've all had a nice summer off.

"We missed out on two players this week, so we continue to look. It's not just a striker that I'm looking for; I'm looking to improve all over the park because you need a strong squad ahead of a gruelling season.

"I thought Tamas Priskin had an ok game today, it's going to take time for him to become more established but that's what pre season is for."

With a hard season in the Championship ahead, Boothroyd has not minced his words when speaking of his ambition come next May. There is only one outcome that he is looking for.

"Last season we fell way short of our targets, so we have to improve this year to get back up there and any new players will know what our expectations are.

"We have to make sure the balance is right and that's down to the management of the players and the players themselves, so we will all be working hard to make sure that we mount a challenge."
