Two more games down the line, we find ourselves right back at square one again.
We've always known the big games for us are Wimbledon and Derby at home next week, and after losing to Watford we now go back to to that synopsis.
But first we will go to Cardiff to try and get something to set us up for the two home games that you have to say are our season now.
We know if we can pick up three points there it's a real bonus and Cardiff are certainly in looking like ending up with a nothing season.
There is maybe two or three teams left in Division One with nothing to play for and they are one of them.
They got battered at Wigan the other day, so maybe the Welshmen are suffering what we went through last season.
I don't know if this beach mentality is a myth, but something similar certainly happened to us 12 months ago.
Our form tailed off and the FA Cup defeat to Watford ended our season with a dozen games to play.
It's now turned into one of those seasons for Lennie Lawrence and his team. The season is practically over and hopefully we can exploit that.
Certainly we need to get back to winning ways quickly after the horror show against Watford at the Turf.
Nobody could get going, even after we took the lead against the run of play. I don't think anyone came out of the game with any credit, but the goals we gave away have cost us once again.
It doesn't matter how well you play, if you commit suicide you are never going to win and individual errors have been killing us all season.
In the last two home games we've scored five goals and not picked up one single point, which is just ridiculous!
Hopefully we will be all right and we can sit back and say 'we got away with it this season'.
But when it's week after week and it's costing you points, you wonder when you've seen the last of it.
Sticking my neck out though, I still think we will be fine. We had a little talk about things on Tuesday and I think the good thing is that when you look at the position we have been in for most of the season, other than against Watford and Coventry, we have given most teams a game.
We have played pretty well at times and you are always going to get days like Monday.
Two games are never the same though and just because it was that bad against Watford, doesn't mean we are about to throw another similar performance in again this season.
I remember people thinking we were doomed after losing 4-0 at Coventry.
We certainly looked like we were resigned to relegation with that performance, but then we went to Nottingham Forest and Bradford and and drew one and won the other.
One more towering away performance might now make all the difference.
