Watford striker Troy Deeney says that he will not change his approach to the game, as he hopes to get more consistency with his selections and performances.

Deeney is still an important player for Watford, but many at the club are concerned about the number of times he gets himself involved in disciplinary matters.

But Deeney insists it is all part of his game.

"It's just me. I don't mean that in a flippant way. I'm not perfect, I'll always make mistakes," Deeney told the Watford Observer.

"Everyone who is close enough sees I am regretful, I'm not stupid and naïve. Also, I won't come out and apologise for being myself.

"That's just the way I am and if I play with a little bit of niceness, it takes about 20 per cent away from my game.

"If you ask the big man [Stefano] Okaka, we're similar. We both play on the edge and we get into people. That brings out the best in us and we enjoy the physical side of it."
