Hull City midfielder Regan Slater says he is unsure why his side have been unable to produce a consistent run of good results this season.

Speaking after the Tigers' 1-0 defeat at Watford on Tuesday, the 25-year-old midfielder he was disappointed his team were unable to continue on from their impressive showing in the stoppage-time victory at Sheffield Wednesday at the weekend.

"We lacked a little bit of quality in the final third. It's something we've struggled with all season really," Slater told BBC Radio Humberside.

"I don't think there was much in the game at all, to be honest with you. I think its disappointing not to come away with a point."

Slater has been a mainstay in the City midfield this season, starting 32 Championship matches and being left on the bench only once.

"When we do go and get a result, we struggle to go and back that up," he added.

"We need to stick together, we need to improve in the final third, but I think we've got enough characters in this changing room to keep us out the bottom three."
