Portsmouth (4-1) 4-11-18 23 pts.

Note to Management:

Effective immediately, all Watford games to be rescheduled for noon on weekdays.

If that's what it takes, so be it. A delightful game as the Hornets, fresh from a disaster against Middlesbrough and its attendant butt-chewing from Boothroyd, rallied from a deficit to score a season-high (Premiership anyhow) 4 goals and pick up 3 points in the standings.

Kabba picked up two assists in the second half with Tamas Priskin's goal at minute 51 and Bouazza's coffin-nail at minute 73. Mvuemba retaliated for Portsmouth in the 81st minute, but Watford hung on, aided by fresh legs in the persons of Chambers and Lloyd Doyley to win the match.

Gavin Mahon took a hit in the second half and left the pitch. Also it turns out Henderson did break his hand in Saturday's match.

Next match is the FA Cup semis against Manchester United at Villa Park Saturday. Kickoff is 11:30 St. Louis time.
