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. One of the biggest question marks in the string of negative recent results is the lack of game time for Kwadwo Baah.
