Flores: This club is ambitious and not content with eighth place

Watford manager Quique Sanchez Flores has told the press that despite his side's successes in the Premier League this season, the Hornets are not yet content and will ultimately strive to improve upon their impressive start to life in the English top flight.

Adapting quickly

Since being promoted from the Sky Bet Championship last season - after impressing and finishing second behind Bournemouth in the automatic promotion places - Watford have swiftly adapted to life in the Premier League and have mostly looked comfortable and up for the challenge so far during the 2015-16 campaign.

Despite a slow start to their season, with three draws in as many fixtures, Watford have quickly become a team that is organised and difficult to break down, leading to them having one of the best defensive records in the league.

Flores' men have impressed, particularly in games such as their recent 3-0 victory over Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool, and have passed the first half of the season with flying colours - a run of results that has seen them climb to eighth in the table, just one point adrift of the top six places.

Looking forward

"We have a lot of reasons to be happy"

- Quique Sanchez Flores

Despite this, Flores says his side are not content to just rest on their laurels, even though the fact that his side's "impossible" achievement of being where they are after 19 games has given Watford "a lot of reasons to be completely happy". Furtheremore, with a touch of humility - despite transacting some excellent business in the transfer window this summer - the Spaniard credited his players, highlighting the "work they are doing every day" as the main reason for Watford's progress.

The Hornets are not getting carried away, insists Flores, suggesting that his side will now "take things match by match" as Watford "try to grow". Despite this, Flores was adament in saying that his side are "ambitious" and that "they want more". In the second half of the season the Watford boss has said that his players will try to "transmit [their hunger] to the fans.”

After enjoying such an incredible 2015, the fans inside Vicarage Road will be excited to hear that the Hornets are not stopping there.
