Bristol City's winless run stretched to five games as they fought out a goalless draw with Watford at Ashton Gate.
The Robins enjoyed the better of the contest but were unable to find a way past visiting keeper Daniel Bachmann.
The Austria international thwarted Andreas Weimann twice to ensure a point for the improving Hornets.
Watford move up to fourth in the table, while the Robins' point lifts them two places to 18th.
City, who went into the game with just one win in their previous six home fixtures, created the better opportunities in the first half.
