VALERIEN Ismael hailed the strength of his Watford side as they edged past bottom side Sheffield Wednesday

A fine solo effort by substitute Yaser Asprilla in the final ten minutes proved the decisive moment at Vicarage Road.

The Colombian had only been on the pitch for four minutes before he ruined the first game in charge for Owls boss Danny Rohl.

Ismael said: “We’ve got all the players available, so when you see the bench there’s a lot of quality.

“You put the pressure on the players to perform, if they aren’t performing then we have to change because another player is waiting to play.

“This is what we need, we are coming through with the team spirit.

“We don’t rely on the one player to make the difference, if everything goes wrong, but we are now able to make the difference at any time.
