Watford head coach believes the fans' "energy" helped his side win his first game as the Hornets boss as they beat Derby County 2-0 at Vicarage Road.
Othmane Maamma's low cross was pounced on by Luca Kjerrumgaard to give the hosts the lead who hadn't won a match in all competitions since New Year's Day coming into Saturday.
Substitute Mamadou Doumbia converted a swift counter-attack at the end to record Watford's sixth straight victory over the Rams.
"It was to be able to start the game in the way that we did, to be able to score early and not step back too much after that," replied Still when asked to summarise the victory.
"There was a phase in the first half where we were maybe a little bit too passive, but we managed to keep stepping forwards.
"Everybody had to make changes early in the game, but seeing that the subs who came on stuck to the game plan was also great to see.
"It was special to be able to give the fans something to cheer about. We felt the energy and the support from kick-off all the way to the end so to be able to send everyone home happy and hopeful for the coming weeks is great."
