Watford keeper Loach upbeat despite U21 final failure

England U21 goalkeeper Scott Loach says he'll take plenty away from the experience of last month's European Championship.

"We've done so well to get here," Watford keeper Loach said. "It's been a two-year competition for some of the lads so I feel deeply for them. For the new boys who've come in like myself, we know what we have to do next time.

"We've got massive experience going into the next tournament but we have to go out and perform on the pitch. Hopefully we can better ourselves next time.

"We want to come back, prove a point, not be remembered for a 4-0 defeat and kick on.

"Being here I know what to expect going into the next one if selected - playing in front of a crowd like that, a big television audience, that's all I can take from it."
