Brendan Rodgers defended his decision to make several changes to the side that had just won three games on the bounce without conceding any, after Watfords 2-1 lo s to Plymouth Argyle.Rodgers made five changes. Only one however, was enforced.Rodgers was questioned over his selection at the end of the game but the bo s took full responsibility for his decisions.I will always put out a team I can feel can win every game, said the Hornets supremo.I was looking at the games that weve had recently  a lot of big games and a lot of physically tough games  and looking at the games that we have for the future. I may not get  Rick Barry Jersey many opportunities now to change it.A lot of  Andre Iguodala Jersey these players have played in a lot of the games this season and we were still strong enough with what we had to win the game.I dont regret making the changes because I trust the players and trust in their work  it was just one of those nights where we never got going.I just felt this was a game we could come and do well in and use the strength and the power of our group, rather than flog the same players all the way through, knowing that when we need them in a few weeks time that fatigue would have set in.I am disappointed for the supporters. Its a hell of a long journey to here and they want to see their team come and win and no-one more so than myself wants that, so Im disappointed for them.Commenting on the events of the game, Rodger said: I was just disappointed with the first half  it didnt feel as though we ever got going. I was probably thankful it was only 1-0.Then, in the second half we started brighter and he Tommy Smith seized on the mistake brilliantly and that was Tommy and what hes great at, going one Andrew Wiggins Jersey  v one with a goalkeeper, and he finished it really well.Then the momentum swung and we never had that in the first half. At one-each I felt we were the team that was going to go on and win it, but then we made a mistake, they got in and finished well.In the second Chris Mullin Jersey  half we were better, I was happy in terms of the character and a terrific goal. We were on the front foot, but we made two mistakes and got punished and congratulations to Plymouth, we got caught by the sucker punch.We havent made mistakes in the last few weeks and tonight we got punished for two defensive mistakes. We have got live with that and move on.The Golden Boys face a crucial game at the weekend with a trip to fellow relegation battlers Charlton Athletic.The confidence of the group is still high and well take that into the remaining games, added Brendan.Obviously youd want to be comfortable with three or four games to go, but it is a strange league and every team can take points off each other from the top to the bottom. Because of that theres not a logical sequence of results you can depend on or look at.As always, I have only ever concerned myself about ourselves. We made a nice little jump up the table recently and well look to do that again on Saturday but its not one where you can rely Shaun Livingston Jersey  on other teams, you must rely on yourself and your own abilities. If we do that then well be fine.Weve still got a lot of the teams around us to play and I am still looking upwards. Well go to Charlton and well be back strong.
