Watford defender Mattie Pollock says the squad have a lot of trust in manager Paulo Pezzolano following the 2-2 draw against Portsmouth at Fratton Park.

New head coach Pezzolano has had a turbulent start to life in the Championship, winning two and drawing three of their opening eight games, but Pollock insists the Uruguayan has had a positive impact on the players.

"We've got a good dressing room. We've got a lot of trust for the manager. It obviously shows that the things he says at half-time is positive - it's working," Pollock told BBC Radio Three Counties.

"For myself, I think I can do a little bit more, especially in the first half, but it shows we have got a good group. We are all behind the gaffer, we're all enjoying it and we're just frustrated that we can't play as well for him in the first half as we did in the second, but I'm sure that'll turn around.

"There's a lot of games in the Championship but overall it feels good. The gaffer comes in very positive at half-time and gets us going again and I think that's showed now for a few games."
