Striker Darius Henderson has insisted "there is nothing ugly about winning" after Watford's direct style of play continues to draw criticism.Henderson's physical presence up front has been integral to Adrian Boothroyd's side as they continue to be in the mix for a promotion place in the Championship.

And the forward - who has scored 11 goals this season - insists that as long as the Hornets win promotion to the Premier League then he has no problem with how they play.

He said: "You could argue that we play the right way and everyone else is playing the wrong way.

"What's so ugly about winning? When you're at the top of the league you can understand why people would like to see you playing beautiful, passing football because that's just what they expect.

"Maybe they've seen too much Premier League football and have been spoilt. But I'd rather be promoted playing what they call 'ugly football' than finish in the middle of the table playing 'pretty pretty football'."
