The Hornets had led 2-0 at the break, courtesy of Boadu's first two goals for the club, but a second-half collapse saw Alessio Dionisi's side trail after 71 minutes and lose the game.

At full-time, Watford's players headed towards the 1206-strong away end at Carrow Road, but there was no applauding of the travelling support; just an awkward stand-off of sorts.

While the players remained silent, they received something of a dressing down from many in the away end after the disastrous second half.

Speaking after the game, Boadu spoke about the moment and said there was nothing the players could do to make the situation right after the fact, and offered an apology to the Hornets' travelling fans as he insisted the players will turn things around.

"Because what could we do?" he said. "They give their hard-earned money to watch us, they travel everywhere with us, today it was also packed.

"So what can you do? I'm not a fake person, I'm not going to clap because it's not good, and we know it's not good.

"I want to apologise to them. It's been a hard few months now, but I promise we can turn it around, and we're going to turn it around, and that's something I really believe in.

"I believe in the guys, and I believe in the coach."

The Dutchman continued to insist that he has sympathy for the travelling support.

"Of course [I have sympathy for supporters]," the 25-year-old said. "You see people, older people, younger people and kids who love Watford and travelled for three hours to Norwich.

"I don't like to disappoint people at all, and I don't like to disappoint people who love the team I play for."
