The string of positive results has well and truly come to an end for Watford – with the play-offs an ever more distant hope.
Prior to the defeat against Millwall, Javi Gracia's side had lost just one of their past 13 matches, which had propelled the Hornets up the table.
But back-to-back draws against two relegation candidates in the space of a week has seen momentum evaporate.
Watford's lacklustre 1-1 draw at home to Portsmouth was riddled with missed opportunities, individual errors and a very fortuitous equaliser. And it was a similar story in the 1-1 draw away to Blackburn Rovers.
While there were more chances created, the result was the same. And if it was not for a fantastic late save by Egil Selvik, it could have been even worse.
One of the biggest question marks in the string of negative recent results is the lack of game time for Kwadwo Baah.
While his consistency is not perfect when on the pitch, you must question why an explosive, fan favourite like him is not getting more minutes.
Rocco Vata slotted back into the starting line-up after months out with a serious hamstring injury but only lasted 42 minutes until he had to be replaced. But not by Baah, or even fellow forgotten winger Nestory Irankunda.
Baah, who has had his own hamstring issues, has only played a full 90 minutes on one occasion this season – and had to wait until the 85th minute to enter the field against Blackburn.
While his goal tally is not that of a world-class winger by any stretch, his attributes of speed, power and excitement are everything that the Hornets have been lacking in recent fixtures.
And yet despite all the negativity and recent disappointing results, a win in our game in hand against Hull City and we will find ourselves back in the play-off places.
With plenty of matches still to play, how the season ends still feels like it is in our hands – but whether those hands are safe and stable enough to guide us to glory is yet to be seen.
