Glovers 0 Watford 0

With Watford the SkyBet Championship draw specialist and The Glover unable to win too many home or away a draw on Tuesday wouldn’t have surprised too many so should it surprise us that’s how the game ended?

Gary Johnson wasn’t unhappy with the 0-0 draw at Huish Park but facts of the matter are it doesn’t do our relegation chances much good, then again perhaps this could prove to be a defining point in the end.

A double hasn’t been achieved over any side at SkyBet Championship level but we could have been well on our way to doing this if Manuel Almunia hadn’t saved from James Hayter and Joe Ralls early on, both came after Ishmael Miller had the ball in the back of the net as he deflected in Joe Edwards effort.

With the flag up Miller was denied a goal in yet another game, and he continued to cause problems to the Watford defence as the half went on.

It wasn’t just us having a goal disallowed though as Alex Merkel, who had already put one effort over, then had a goal of his own disallowed due to the offside flag being raised again.

Tom Lawrence showed why he’s a Manchester United player as he created an opening for Edwards but his finish, to the best chance of the half really, was poor and didn’t even trouble Almunia whereas Marek Stech was called into action to save from Merkel.

A winner looked most likely to come from The Glovers in the second half, but there weren’t too many clear cut chances really but Almunia was quickly called into action as he saved well from Hayter.

Lawrence and Miller was looking the most threatening but Almunia was equal to their efforts, when they were on target really.

That much needed winner couldn’t be found though meaning we’re still looking for a win at Huish Park this year, we’ve got to go back to December in fact to find the last time we collected all three points at home.

Unbeaten in the last two home games is a positive but being limited to draw in the games with Millwall and Watford hasn’t done much to help us bridge the gap between the bottom three and SkyBet Championship survival.

Time is now running out for us to do this and the gap getting wider.
