Wigan Athletic (1-1) 0-3-3 3 pts.

The half began with a bombardment by Watford as Francis, Mahon, and King (twice) all had attempts on goal but it was Bouazza who got the equalizer at 63 minutes off an assist by King and gave the 'orns another point.

No subs at the half despite my prediction, but Henderson came on for Smith at 72 minutes as a scoring threat from outside. It appeared Boothroyd opted for the draw rather than going for three points when he brought midfielder Spring in for striker Bouazza late in the match.

Given the odds, a decent result giving Watford their first away point of the season. Next match is Monday, October 2 vs. Fulham at Vicarage Road. Kickoff is 2:00 pm St. Louis time.
