Burnley nil-nil Watford 6-6-6 24 pts

We'll not speak of Yeovil Town ever again



Despite Tuesday's match resulting in seven straight without a win for the Hornets, the universal take on this scoreless draw against Sean Dyche's side seems to be that this is the turning point, the realization of Gianfranco Zola's 'cunning plan'.

True, there were no defensive gaffs costing us points, no momentary lapses of concentration, and, all-in-all, Watford played a solid 90 minutes of Championship draw football. But let's not schedule our days off in May for the playoffs just yet.

The confidence of an athlete is a fragile thing, especially in a side as young as Watford's, and the level of confidence is contagious - good or bad. The true test comes in building off this base. The next fixture for is Saturday, November 23 at Leeds United. Kickoff is 9:00 am St. Louis time.
