    The Hornets brought in defenders Miguel Layun and Vujadin Savic, as well as midfielder Ben Watson, before Monday's transfer deadline day.

    "I am not especially very happy with this window," Jokanovic told BBC Three Counties Radio.

    "I am looking for another dressing room that can help us from outside our dressing room. Now the window is closed I must work with my boys and push them to fight until the end of the season."

  4. O'Grady 'does yoga before each game'published at 18:46 Greenwich Mean Time 6 February 2015

    Brighton striker Chris O'Grady says doing yoga immediately before kick-off is the perfect preparation for a match.

    The 29-year-old has made over 360 league appearances during the course of his 12-year professional career, and says he was inspired to do it by former Manchester United winger Ryan Giggs.

    "It's something I've done for probably 10 years now before each game," he told BBC Sussex.

    "While centre halves in the other changing room are not doing much, I'm making sure I'm as flexible as possible to go into the game and do battle. When it comes down to it, from the first minute I'll be more ready than the opponents."

  6. 'I'm ready for challenge' - Fletcherpublished at 18:35 Greenwich Mean Time 6 February 2015

    Darren Fletcher says he is ready for the challenge after swapping trophy-chasing with Manchester United for a relegation battle with West Bromwich Albion.

    Midfielder Fletcher, 31, has swapped third for 15th place in the Premier League, but insists his battling qualities are just as suited to life at the wrong end of the league.

    "There's many ways to win a football match," he told BBC Midlands Today. "You don't win titles just with fancy football. There's times when you have to dig deep. I've been there before and done it with United and done it playing for Scotland too."

    Fletcher is scheduled to make his West Brom debut on Sunday at Burnley.
