The Hornets are three points short of the play-off places and, at the same stage last season, were four points behind the top six before going on to finish 15th.
"We must bring in some fresh minds as well as an injection in quality - the next two weeks is an important period for us," Cleverley told BBC Three Counties Radio.
"Last season I'm sure we were in a similar position at this stage and fell away. We have to learn from that. Why did that happen?"
