Watford head coach Tom Cleverley said he would like his side to be "a bit more entertaining" following their 1-0 win against Bristol City.

The Hornets dropped two points in stoppage time in their 2-2 draw at Plymouth last Friday before edging past the Robins at Vicarage Road on Tuesday night.

That result lifted Watford to fifth and ensures they will remain in the play-off positions by the time they host QPR at the weekend.

"Friday, the performance is sustainable to go in an upward trajectory, and tonight [Tuesday], the mindset is," Cleverley told BBC Three Counties Radio.

"Now our challenge is to put the two of them together as consistently as we can, starting with QPR on Saturday."

Watford are the third most entertaining side in the Championship so far, with 50 goals across their 17 games - six fewer than Norwich City, who have been involved in games with the most goals (56) and two less than Plymouth (52).

Despite that, Cleverley still wants his side to build on three consecutive 1-0 home wins with more attacking output.

"Like I said before, the challenge is performance on Friday, mindset this evening - put them both together Saturday and try and be a bit more entertaining," Cleverley added.
