With a pitch at Huish park that most track stewards would call 'sloppy', the two Championship sides battled to a draw.
Manuel Almunia was back between the sticks for the Hornets - one of six changes from Saturday's 'Boro win including the Watford debut of Swedish forward Mathias Ranégie. Both sides came out firing, but the pitch ensured execution did not live up to the enthusiasm.
Both sides wore down in the second half and the lack of serious chances found both sides with a point at the end.
Today's match, a reschedule of the weather-cancelled New Year's Day match, was the last of the games-in-hand for Watford who find themselves a full eight points south of the playoff zone. The Hornet's next chance comes Saturday, February 22 at Bolton. Kickoff is 9:00 am St. Louis time.
