Walter Mazzarri is confident next season will see the best of his Watford squad.
The Italian is facing up to yet another injury crisis ahead of Saturday's trip to second-placed Tottenham.
The Hornets are set to be without former Spurs centre-back Younes Kaboul and Swiss defender Sebastian Prodl, while Miguel Britos is suspended.
It is a situation Mazzarri has needed to deal with on all too regular a basis in his first campaign at the helm since replacing Quique Sanchez Flores.
Despite continued selection issues, the former Sampdoria, Napoli and Inter Milan boss has been able to oversee a recent improvement in form with back-to-back wins which ended a run of three defeats from the previous four matches.
