REPORT | Hornets held to goalless stalemate at a freezing Vicarage Road watfordfc
Watford missed the opportunity to move into the top three in the Championship as their return to action after the World Cup ended in a frustrating goalless stalemate against Hull City at a freezing Vicarage Road.
The Tigers also improved offensively after the break though, with former Hornets loanee Ozan Tufan having their best opportunity and Cyrus Christie proving a growing threat after before pushed forward on the right. The Hornets boss said on Friday the Senegal forward had been given a few days off to spend with his family after the World Cup and hoped he would be back for the game, but Sarr’s name was nowhere to be seen on the teamsheet.
Both sides sought to get on the front foot on the opening whistle, but the start of the game was disrupted by a lengthy stoppage with Choudhury and Dimitrios Pelkas both needing treatment on knee injuries after a tackle. Pelkas was unable to continue and was replaced by Docherty in the tenth minute, but the signs were also ominous for Choudhury who was unable to run properly.
Hull did have an opportunity in the 29th minute when Christie’s reverse pass slipped in Smith behind Cathcart in the 18-yard box, but Christian Kabasele got across to block. The visitors had the first opportunity of the second period as a mistake by Cathcart allowed Docherty to slide in Smith on the right side of the area, but his attempted finish was saved by the outstretched legs of Bachmann.
