Martin Taylor has scored three goals in 14 league appearances this season

Watford defender Martin Taylor says he expects a quick turnaround in form after two straight league defeats.

Saturday's 4-1 defeat at Derby followed a 2-0 loss to Scunthorpe and left the Hornets ninth in the Championship.

Taylor told BBC Three Counties Radio: "We'll work hard on the training ground on the things we haven't done well, it's a part of our psyche.

"We're in a bit of a blip at the moment but we know this league, and it can change around very quickly."

He added: "From next Saturday we've got three matches in a week and we'll get as many points as possible out of them."

Taylor also praised midfielder Matthew Whichelow, who came off the bench on Saturday to score Watford's goal at Pride Park.

The 19-year-old was making just his second substitute appearance for the club.

"He came on and did exactly what the gaffer told him to do at half time, he never stopped running," said Taylor.

"He got in some great areas, it was a great finish and I'm made up for the lad because he's worked hard in training.

"There's nothing better than when you get your opportunity to get your name on the scoresheet, then people start asking 'who's he?'"
