Finding consistency will be the key to Watford's chances of forcing their way past at least six other teams to reach the play-offs, says boss Chris Wilder.
They are 12th in the Championship, with four games remaining, following their 2-0 victory over Bristol City.
It was only Wilder's second win in seven matches since replacing Slaven Bilic as Hornets head coach.
"We haven't shown consistency from game to game, and we haven't shown consistency during games," he said.
"There's some stuff we're really loose on that frustrates the life out of me because players put themselves in positions that they don't need to - but we needed a performance and we needed a result, more importantly, and we got that.
