Watford caretaker manager Malky Mackay believes midfielder Lee Williamson has the ability to be amongst the best players in the Championship.
Williamson scored his second goal in three days at Swansea to send the Hornets into the quarter-finals of the Carling Cup and Mackay is confident of pushing him further upfield.
He said: "Lee Williamson is a creative player and it's good to see him going and expressing himself on the edge of the box.
"We had a chat about his role in the team and how he has to lead by example.
"At times he has matched the top two or three central midfielders in our division but there are other times where he lets himself down.
"He knows that and he's been working very, very hard this season."
