An ugly match, marred by snow, ice, and four floodlight outages, but a beautiful result as Watford nabbed their 15th, 16th, & 17th points in their last 7 matches to remain in the playoff zone.
A truly lackluster affair that saw Watford lucky to be nil-nil at the half turned downright hideous as the first of four power outages hit Glanford Park early in the second half. The Hornets turned cold and allowed a penalty shot in the 57th minute (luckily missed) followed by a Martyn Woolford goal putting Scunny ahead 1-0 four minutes later.
But Danny Graham came to the rescue with an equalizer minutes later, heading in a shot from 12 yards out. The effort took its toll on Graham as he limped off two minutes later, replaced by the seldom seen Matthew Whichelow.
Perhaps we should see more of him as he scored his second goal of the season in six appearances (asst Will Buckley) with four minutes left in regulation to net the Hornets their three points.
The next match is Saturday, January 8 as Vicarage Road plays host to FA Cup action, welcoming League One side Hartlepool United. Kickoff is 9:00 am St. Louis time.
I apologize for not chronicling the last two matches as I had to be elsewhere to attend to family business.
