The Hornets played host to league leaders Newcastle United in the rain today in a match that saw Mike Williamson (aka Whiney-Ass) make his first visit to Vicarage Road since his skulking off in August.
Watford found themselves playing catch-up straight out of the box as a free kick in the 4th minute lead to a Fabricio Coloccini header (asst. Andrew Carroll) from six yards out to put the Geordies up a goal.
Watford held on through the half, but found themselves with an insurmountable deficit after Carroll scored his own header from another set piece in the 51st, this time a Danny Guthrie corner kick, giving Newcastle a 2-0 lead in the driving rain.
Will Hoskins raised a glimmer of hope in the first minute of added time, right-footing a goal in to draw within one, but it was not enough.
The next match is Saturday, March 6 at Barnsley. Tom Cleverly will be back from his suspension. Kickoff is 9:00 am St. Louis time.
