Man, I suck.
Shortly after the Millwall match, the "From the Rookery End" podcast - podcast! - gets posted and here I am two days after the fact, getting the Millwall post out. I got busy at work after the match and it just skipped my mind until this morning. Apologies.
Watford made but one change going into this match, but it was a major one. Rene Gilmartin started between the posts in his first non-cup match in I can't remember how long. And he performed.
The match, dominated by the Hornets, stayed scoreless until the hour mark. We've all been waiting for the next Lloyd Doyley goal and it looked like he may have scored one in minute 68 - an own goal - but it was forgivingly granted to Liam Feeney to put the Lions up a goal.
Crunch time then for Watford as they faced another home loss, another momentary lapse of defense costing three points, another round of 'what-if?'
It was Carl Dickinson that scored the equalizer in the 78th minute to breath life back into the squad and Craig Forsyth from six yards out with five minutes left in regulation time to catch the rebound after a corner kick and hammer home the winner.
It's unlikely Watford will get as many chances to recover from their errors Saturday as they travel to St. Mary's Stadium to oppose league-leaders Southampton. Kick-off is 9:00 am St. Louis time.
