Not so much a ‘must-win’ as a ‘damn-well-better-win’ given their winless streak on the road.
They didn’t.
Watford started the match back on their heels – Swansea City applying the most pressure in the first eighteen minutes. The pressure paid off when a Craig Beattie cross found the head of Shefki Kuqi (Kuqi! Kuqi! Lend me your comb! Or Coochie depending on the announcer) who delivered the ball into the net off of Scott Loach.
Watford stepped up the pace in the remaining time in the half, but ran out of steam in the second half. The Swans maintained control of the match and shut down the Hornets at Vicarage Road.
The loss puts Watford two points off the relegation zone (albeit with two games in hand). The next match is Saturday, March 13 as Peterborough visits Vicarage Road for the second of three home matches in a row. Kickoff is 9:00 am St. Louis time
