    Post Match: Watford (A)

    After 30 matches without a Championship clean sheet, Leicester have now kept two in the past three games, but the Foxes had to settle for a point in a stalemate at Watford on Saturday.

    Former Foxes forward and BBC Radio Leicester summariser Matty Fryatt told the When You're Smiling podcast: "I don't quite know how it finished goalless.

    "Leicester did everything but get the ball in the back of the net. It was all about if Leicester could go and produce. They couldn't quite in the end, but it was an encouraging display.

    "You'd take the point but I think it's two points dropped. You have got to be taking at least one of those chances. Unfortunately Patson Daka will be having nightmares about the missed opportunities."

    Fryatt added: "It was encouraging. It was one of the most assured performances we've seen since Gary Rowett arrived - it was just missing that final little bit.

    "If they play like that in the Easter weekend fixtures (Preston and Sheffield Wednesday) they'll get positive outcomes."

    Gary Rowett: 'We are disappointed not to get all three points'

    Leicester City boss Gary Rowett spoke to BBC Radio Leicester following Saturday's goalless draw with Watford.

    "I'm incredibly disappointed. If you see the balance of chances, if you look at the stats, I think we have dominated the big moments in the game," he said.

    "We get the penalty, and in my opinion I'm absolutely baffled as to why it is not a yellow card at the very least. Abdul [Fatawu] cuts inside, is in a goalscoring position.

    "It was a challenge that warranted a yellow, which would have been a second yellow and red.

    "We then miss the penalty and it's a bit of a double whammy; it's a big moment in the game. We obviously have to take care of our own part of it, which is scoring the penalty, but we saw one against Bristol City where Jak [Foxes goalkeeper Jakub Stolarczyk] saved it, so it happens. It's just unfortunate that it happened when we desperately need goals.

    "I don't think it was a 0-0 game, and I thought the performance, to come here and have more possession than Watford and create bigger chances than Watford, a team that is chasing the play-offs, again shows our capability. But we are sat here with one from the game so feels a little disheartening."
