Hind Al Soulia - Riyadh - Graham Potter insists the mood is good in the Brighton camp despite the club's recent winless run.
The Seagulls have won one of their last 10 Premier League matches and have not tasted victory in 2020 so far, but Potter remains confident.
"It's been good, really good, I think that's the encouraging thing," Potter said when asked about the mood of the camp after five top-flight matches without a win.
"With the test of the Premier League, you don't win that often, but certainly this season we haven't won that much.
"We've only won six this season, so how we convince people is by winning. I think that's what the Premier League gives you, that test to show that you're still on the right path that you're doing the right things even when the wins don't come.
"But I'd say the performances have been mixed but the spirit of the players and the determination, buoyed by the West Ham performance and the result I think has given us a bit of a lift but we need to carry that performance on against a difficult Watford side."
Watford spent the majority of the season at the foot of the table, but have improved in recent weeks since Nigel Pearson took over from Quique Sanchez Flores in early December and now sit just three points behind 15th-placed Brighton.
The Seagulls are just two points above the relegation zone but also just five points behind 10th-placed Arsenal. However, Potter does not believe the game against the Hornets on Saturday is a must-win clash.
"I'm sure me and Nigel (Pearson) would say the same things, it'd be nice to win, it's important to win, if that's the only win we get, then we're in a bit of trouble.
"But focus on the game, try and get the three points which is important in the Premier League and then we see from there."
Potter has no new injury concerns within his squad and could welcome back defenders Shane Duffy and Dan Burn in the following weeks. New signing Tariq Lamptey has been settling into the squad following his move from Chelsea but the Watford match is expected to come too soon for the 19-year-old full-back.
