Derby County head coach John Eustace believes it was his side's inferior will to win that succumbed them to their 2-0 loss at Watford on Saturday.
Luca Kjerrumgaard pounced on a low cross to fire past Josh Vickers to give the Hornets the lead after five minutes.
Derby then, pushing for an equaliser, were caught on the break in the 90th minute, with Mamadou Doumbia sliding home the hosts' second following a Rams corner.
"Very disappointed," said Eustace to BBC Radio Derby after the game.
"There's not many games this season where I've felt the opposition have wanted it a bit more than us, and today they certainly wanted it more than us, which isn't what we're all about.

"Obviously going into the top six last week, we're playing against teams now who want to get into that top six week in, week out, and we're playing against teams who want to stay in this league as well.
"If we're not at the levels required to compete, then we're going to get hurt like we did today."
