Nottingham Forest 1-1 Watford 9-10-11 37 pts.

Sean Murray fought hard in the first half to impress upon Sean Dyche why he should continue to have a place in the Hornet's starting XI.

Following a goal in minute 19 by Garath McCleary that put the home squad ahead and a brief set-back on the squad's heels, Murray sought opportunity after opportunity to equalize, finally earning the assist to Troy Deeney's header deep into the first half.

The pace slacked for the Hornets in the second half, with Forest finding at least two clear scoring opportunities, but luck (and the crossbar) prevailed and Watford came away from a road trip with another point, an even dozen north of relegation and the same trailing the playoff zone.

The next match is Valentine's Day, Tuesday, February 14 at Vicarage Road hosting Leicester City. Kickoff is 1:45 pm St. Louis time.
