Ross Jenkins said the players were devastated after Watford lost to Barnsley in his league debut.
Jenkins has played in every Carling Cup round this season but made his first start in the Championship in the 2-1 defeat at Oakwell.
It was the youngster’s first defeat in first-team football and the second-year scholar said the loss hit everyone hard, as Watford remain in the relegation zone.
Jenkins said: “Reserve games are more about learning, this is about winning and getting points. Everyone is devastated about today (Saturday) and we shouldn’t have lost and we shouldn’t have conceded them goals but that is football.
“It is all down to concentration. As a team we were doing well and one slip up and we were under the cosh for a bit, but I thought everyone worked hard and pushed on and I think it was a good team performance but we just need to correct those errors.”
