Bristol City boss Gerhard Struber labelled his side "mentality monsters" following the Robins' 1-1 draw with Watford at Vicarage Road on Friday night.

Struber's side has been struck down with a number of injuries and had to field attacking players Scott Twine and Anis Mehmeti in central midfield but his players battled valiantly to earn a hard-fought point on the road.

"We are really happy. In our situation, to pick up a point at Watford, at the moment, is not easy," Struber told BBC Radio Bristol.

"How this group of players invested today, with not the freshest [of] legs, it is a really good performance - I'm really proud.

"The investment, the togetherness, the team dynamic and also how the boys make the right decisions makes me happy.

"Today, the boys showed me outstanding mentality. [They are] mentality monsters and I love to work with players like that."
