'We can't just do it in the home games' - Cleverleypublished at 19:11 21 December
Watford head coach Tom Cleverley told BBC Three Counties Radio his side must improve their away form if they are to challenge for promotion.
The Hornets fell to a seventh away defeat of the season at Burnley - in stark contrast to their unbeaten home record.
"I think the scoreline flatters us - I've told that to the players. That could have been a lot more convincing (for Burnley) and was nowhere near an acceptable performance from us today.
"They showed more personality to play on the ball, they showed better problem-solving but, most worryingly, they ran more and tackled harder.
"In fairness to the players they always have responded well to a performance like that, but if we're serious about our ambitions this season we have to have a better mindset in these away games where you are going to suffer setbacks.
"At home we've suffered setbacks and responded to them, but away from home we just don't show the same character or mindset to come back from any deficits.
"I would never criticise my players for a technical mistake but when I see players shying away from wanting to receive the ball, then we've got a real issue.
"To get to the level we want to get to we can't just do it in the home games - we have to do it in the toughest environments.
"At the minute we're playing like a team who want to flip a coin and finish between fifth and 10th rather than really grab our own destiny by the scruff of the neck."
