Two goals in the first half earned three precious points for the home side who moved into the top half of the table with their victory.
The Hornets find themselves five points from a play off place and five points from the relegation places. Mid table at it's best.
Heidar Helguson and Martin Taylor scored the goals.
Watford have no game this coming weekend but play Q.P.R. a week tonight. Rangers are in free fall. Let's hope we can add to their woes.
