Aidy Boothroyd remains philosophical about Watford's lean spell in front of goal, believing the goals will start flowing freely sooner rather than later.

Watford have scored 12 goals in their last 14 games and mustered just three in the last six home matches.

Darius Henderson has scored just three times since the turn of the year, Tamas Priskin has just one league goal to his name this season in a yellow shirt, Nathan Ellington has found the net only four times since arriving from West Brom while Steve Kabba has registered just one goal since arriving from Sheffield United over a year ago.

"If we weren't creating chances then I'd have a major, major problem," said the manager. "It's not a major problem at the minute but if it keeps going on then it will be."

Boothroyd is happy with the supply line to his strikers, believing the drought is a result of a mental problem rather than a technical or tactical one.

"I think it's about having a belief in front of goal," he said. "You only get out of something like this by keep working hard and practising. One will go in off someone's ear lobe and that will be it, there will be a flood."
