The Mackay/Rodgers clash was all Swans for the first hour, but a tactical change by Malky Mackay picked the lock that let a Danny Graham goal in in the 78th minute from a Troy Deeny pass to equalize the match.
For the first 60 minutes of the match Swansea led on shots, corners, possession, and, most importantly, the lone goal of the match, a 27th minute right-footer by Stephen Dobbie. Malky, playing with a sole striker up front, brought in Marvin Sordell for Will Buckley and converted into a traditional 4-4-2 to create chances at the net.
Create them it did. The Graham goal came off a terrifically timed run and the momentum swung to Watford's favor for the rest of the match. It was not enough for the win, but a point away against one of the contenders for the remaining automatic promotion slot qualifies as a good result.
The next match is Saturday, March 12, when a struggling Sheffield Wednesday, coming off their first win in sixteen matches, travels to Vicarage Road. Kickoff is 9:00 am St. Louis time.
