Mackay thinks Watford deserved at least a point from Swansea City defeat (From Watford Observer)

I too was left "frustrated" and also skint after forking out to see us lose to Swansea and Derby in uninspiring style within the space of 4 days.

Why roll out the same 11 who were so bad at Pride Park??

have to agree with above i too was at both games ,staggering same team took to the field but says everything about this management team ,disgusted with lack of changes both before and during game ! players are confortable there places are secure ,Swansea should have had four goals in first half when we are told "At times it was as good as we have played,” !! ,even more worried now if MM thinks we are doing ok ,get yourself a decent No 2 who is not a yes man and has guts to tell you where you are going wrong ,hear Terry Burton might be available ,best coach we have had in my opinion and fallen out with Risdale at Cardiff ,we are in big trouble looking at what i have seen over last weeks ,when is last time we won ? ,In my opinion we have a defensive manager ,who cannot get the defense right by the way ,negative tactics away from home ,a not lose mentality instead of a winning mentality ,and focus so much on getting the minimum target of 52 points instead of aiming higher ,aim for 52 points and if you fall short you are DOWN aim higher and fall a bit short you may well still achieve championship status .! The players looked short of ideas ,what goes on in training ,1 nil down AT HOME ,strikers on bench and brings on full back and defensive midfielder ,i rest my case ,changes needed at every level in my opinion starting with Mangement team .

Herts hornet, I agree that changes need to be made and can you explain who should be dropped then?

Sub decisions were poor last night.

with pleasure ; team for Sat

loach,hodson,taylor,
demerit,harley
cleverley,eustace,la
nsbury,mcginn
hoskins and either graham or HH

SUBS cowie ,yes had good game last night but few and far between,Lee,HH or DG ,buckley,Marriappa, Doyley , Henderson

Mick - who should be dropped?
For me:
Doyley - or at least moved to the right, his lack of a left foot is embarrassing - I mean really embarassing and also means fewer crossing options from the left.
DeMerit - no communication, his positional sense is poor, great lastditch tackles but in situations that shouldn't have arisen in the first place.
Marriappa needs a rest - until he was taken off last night he had played every minute this season.
Helgusson - his presence seems to have taken away the expansive play we saw earlier in the season as we seem to be relying too much on him. (not so sure about HH but you wanted suggestions of who to drop!)

Aha, you will say, who is going to replace?

Hodson for Marriappa
Bennett for Demerit
I would drop Harley back for Doyley
McGinn for Harley
Hoskins / Buckley for Helgusson

Not necessarily the answer but sending out the same team after abject performance after abject performance sends out the wrong message.

I agree with both of u that players need to be dropped. As per my comments on another post the defence has been poor the last two campaigns and the same players keep playing JD,LD & AM. The stats don't lie!

We need to ship out these defenders asap in the summer as they are stopping us from improving.

Two month's ago lot's of people were saying hodson should be dropped now u want him back?

For me i would do the following,

Give AM & LD a rest for Hodson & Harley.

Would love to drop JD as he is overated and very inconsistent but i do not think it would be fair to bring Bennett into a struggling team at the moment.

HH a rest and go with DG & WH up front although i do not have a lot of faith in hoskin's but a change needs to be made and HH is due a rest due to the amount of games and his age.

For what it's worth, I thought we were unlucky not to score in the first half. Swansea did a good job on us bearing in mind they only had to play football for 20 minutes and could then just shut up shop and win the game. It takes a good team to do that but that doesn't excuse the fact that we were totally short of ideas and lacklustre in the second half.

There a few things that I don't understand: -

1) Why can't Hoskins get a game, particularly when he's only just scored a hat-trick for the reserves? I've never been much of a fan of his but surely anyone who knows where the net is is worth a go.
2) Why wait until there are less than 20 minutes to go to make any substitutions when it was clear that what we were trying in the second half wasn't working.
3) Malky has stated that we had to try something different in the second half because they packed the midfield...true but we have to have more than one backup plan (and the Boothroyd-esque stick the big man up front for the last 5 doesn't count!)

I thought we really missed Cleverly last night but there must be other changes that are worth making...don't we have a young hungry striker in the youth team that we could throw in instead of DG who is hopelessly out of form.

Saturday and Tuesday are now massive games for me. Everyone around us has started picking up points and we need to do the same.

We're all frustrated Malky, and pretty darned bored in the second half as well. In all honesty we never looked like scoring and there was an acceptance of that in the ground within 5 minutes of the start of the second half.

I saw similar mistakes to Saturday last night and as others have said, it desperately needs a shake up. I was also very surprised that the same 11 took to the field last night.

Thankfully we have TC back for Saturday so that should give us more going forward.

As for other changes, well H looks disinterested and to be honest despite winning a few headers the rest of his play was abject. DG didn't win a header all night although his link up play wasn't bad, so one of these two has to give way for either Hoskins or Buckley (IMHO).

I totally agree with the call for Harley to play left back, he had a run there under AB and looked a good accomplished left back who gave us natural left footed width going forward.

McGinn looks worth a try in midfield which would leave Lloyd on the bench, sorry Lloyd I know you give everything for the cause, but we do need a proper and natural left back.

Thought Cowie played OK last night although he does lack a bit of pace, but he did put in three top class crosses last night. We have been crying out for decent crosses and they came in abundance in the first half last night yet our strike force got nowhere near them...this just reinforces the need for change up front.

Saturday now becomes a crucial game with all the pressure that brings. At the moment I just cannot be confident! I hope I am wrong, but I think it is clear changes need to be made and if they are not, the atmosphere in the Vic come kick off time on Saturday would probably not be conducive to helping the team!

We deserved something from that game tonight? Blah, blah, blah.

Does it matter, we lost and thats a fact.

Lets all blame the officials Malky, blah, blah, blah.

Chances missed again, blah, blah, blah.

Same old stuff coming out Malky.

Change the record, or even the tactics and maybe the team to get us out of this mess.

I'm sure i wouldn't be saying i was proud of a team that is producing this week in week out. Of course the crowd has the right to show you how they are not impressed. Get over it.

Good luck Malky, you will need it.

I wrote a letter to the Watofrd Observer last summer after the appoinment of Mackay. Needless to say it was never published. Here is a summary of the content of that letter:

"It is with a feeling of huge disappointment and dread that I write this letter. The appointment of Malky Mackay as Watford manager on a three year contract is one of the most reckless gambles ever undertaken by a board of Watford Football Club. In short it amounts to nothing more than a dereliction of duty and a betrayal of the fans.

We were originally led to believe that the club had received in excess of 50 applications. We were told several times through the local media that the selection process was ongoing. Now it transpires that there were just four candidates shortlisted and, more incredibly, only Malky was interviewed. We then have the stark admission from Julian Winter that Malky had already been “identified as a potential successor”. It is clear to see for anyone with an ounce of intelligence that the decision to appoint Malky had been taken a long time ago.

When Boothroyd was first appointed Watford manager, having had no previous managerial experience, it was my understanding that he was appointed on a one year contract. Rogers, too, was appointed on a one year rolling contract back in December. The logic behind such decisions is not difficult to fathom: it would have been the height of folly to award a long term contract to someone who was an unknown entity in the world of football management. Yet here we have a board that have clearly gone for another “rookie manager”, appointing someone far less experienced than the previous two incumbents on a three year deal.

The longer this board controls Watford Football Club, the more it begins to resemble the previous administration. All this talk of “structures” and “continuity” is the same hollow business speak that typified the previous regime. Like the previous regime, they have appointed a rookie manager with no previous experience. And the decision making process was one shrouded in secrecy and half truths and, dare I say, outright deception. Surely the board had a duty to the club and to the fans to look beyond Mackay and at least consider other options? To place your eggs all in one basket is, as I have already stated, a dereliction of duty.

It is not just a question of the wrong manager for Watford Football Club, what of the backroom staff? Brendan Rodgers had some good, experienced staff behind him. When Aidy was manager he had Keith Burkinshaw as an adviser – even if he didn’t listen to him. Yet so far it would appear that only Sean Dyche is going to fill the enormous void of Frank Lampard Senior et al. I find this incredible. Not just incredible, I find it totally unacceptable that it has been allowed to happen.

Mackay wasn’t considered good enough in December, so why is he good enough now when the club is arguably in a more perilous position (end of parachute money, impending player sales)? He does not yet hold the right coaching qualifications, and he hardly set the world alight during his stint as caretaker manager. If Watford had maintained that win ratio under him they would have been relegated comprehensively. Let us not forget that Mackay was an intrinsic part of the Boothroyd era and must accept his portion of the blame for the defensive mess the team were in at the time.

This board stresses the virtues of continuity but those clubs who appoint from within are very rarely successful. Watford fans need only think of Ray Lewington. Sammy Lee at Bolton was a disaster. As was Tony Adams at Portsmouth. And what of Steve Maclaren? Why is it that whatever board is in place at this club, they cannot seem to learn from the mistakes of the past? This appointment is as uninspiring as that of Colin Lee, Steve Perryman and Glen Roeder. What did we ever achieve under those managers except mid table obscurity and, in the end, relegation?

This club desperately needed a new appointment from outside, not from within. It is sad to see the likes of Tony Coton and Nigel Gibbs completely overlooked. Let us not forget that Gibbs has become a first class coach and under whom our reserves won the premier reserve title only a few years back. What about Coton as number two at least? His connections to Man Utd could have been invaluable. (Lets be honest, what caliber of player is Mackay going to attract?) Kenny Jacket is an exceptional manager yet not once did this current board enquire about his availability. In short there were a host of better candidates with real Watford connections whose appointment would have given this club a much needed lift".

Well, given what has transpired since November, i don't think i was too far off the mark. And i stand by my remarks concerning the lack of honesty on the part of the salad boys and the board regarding the appointment.

In the final analysis, we are significantly underachieving on the pitch because of the limitations of an inexperienced manager and his coaching staff. Relegation is looking increasingly likely. But then this football club seems to be the only institution on this planet where abject failure is seen as acceptable and the current chairman is the biggest advocate of that!

Nothing to do with a lack of money?

Frank Lampard snr spent more time watching chelsea he wasn't and never will be an "Enormous Void"

Dean Austin what a great coach didn't he get the sack along with mr integrity at reading?

Kenny Jackett is a good manager and watford man, but his teams when manager of w.f.c were much more negative than Mackay's.

And I haven't the time or the words to describe Boothroyd's tenure,only that Watford fc will still be paying for it next season,the season after,the season after that and the next season.........!

Written in green ink, no doubt. Are you really surprised it wasn't published?

why does rick have so much time on his hands? A Huge Void left by frank lampard senior????

experienced backroom staff under booth and rodgers???? Like who precisely Lampard was never there and burkinshaw wasnt either because of his wife??? needless to say(very alan partidge esq) that you have to much time on your hands and need to do something constructive. maybe you should help out the building work at the ground? Malky is doing beeter than what anyone expected this season. we were favourites to go down. we had a good run and are now returning to form. complaining about the board making up stories about continuity and then compalining the manager was given more than a one year contract doesnt make sense. And the Russo's said malky would have done it for free so he aint costing much unlike your beloved bodgers. I was on a train going to kings cross a tall gentleman and i were rushing for a seat it was peter grimshaw from blue peter i tripped him up and sat down first i turned and said dont be blue pete. needless to say i had the last laugh. Ahhaaaaaaa

I rest my case with P**** Holden and one and the same voice of drivel.

I think he is related to AB & GS or is maybe one off them posting on here because they hold a grudge against WFC. How sad!

Austin & Lampard did a great job at Reading u pillock! Great that we got compensation for them!!!

More laughable post's.

Lets be honest.

Malky got the job because he knew and probably accepeted we'd have to somewhat trim the squad and basically spend nothing in transfers relying on fees and the loan system.

Ofcourse he was already on the pay-rolll.

I am not sure too many managers would have wanted to work under the circumstances the club have been in....

As for experience know it all managers...well Mr Graham Taylor is on the board.

Sure Malky could ask him for advice?

The same predicatble responses from the same morons. How can you say two points off the relegation zone is a "good job".

The fact of the matter is that Mackay would greatly benefit from a mentor in much the same way that Brian Clough did with Peter Taylor. Even now Martin O'Neill has a team of advisers.

I don't think people on here have realised the gravity of our situation. Whether we like it or not, we are now in a relegation battle and to get out of this situation would require us to put together a run - something this team under Mackay is unable to do.

But even if we were relegated would Mackay lose his job? Of course not, so long as Taylor is chairman. This is an unhealthy set up; in what other institution would failure be rewarded?

Very,very boring p.Rick,get behind the manager and team or do one.Nobody will miss your constant carping.

To your final point..

The Government (and other MPs)
Banks
Transport services

Certain high earner members get nice little pay rises and bonuses usually at taxpayers expense..

What's Mackay going to be rewarded with if we did go down then?

Have you heard something we don't know...

I am sure he won't be getting more money like Aidy and players did.

Tricky Rick
Once the WO finished laughing at your stupid letter they must surely have binned it!!!.
Could you not watch your football elsewhere so that the rest of us can enjoy a constructive debate??.

Do you work for the Watford Observer?
I honestly think you are supporting the wrong team, as you ain't gonna too much success (or at least your definition of it) at Watford, that's for sure.

And you don't think people on here realise the gravity of the situation?
We are in deep. It's been obvious for months, so at least we agree on something.

Failure was rewarded by homer,ca$hton and hoofroyd after relegation from the premiership.

This trio of numptees gave the players who got us relegated pay rises so nobody would sign them?

Who would give Marlon and co a better contract after that drivel in the premiership?

Who would employ King with his previous before signing for Watford,let alone claiming he was worth sixty million?

Who would pay 4 million for a fat hasbeen that watford's chief scout said NO WAY........!

Only Hooffers and he had a team of advisors who he SACKED..!

tricky rick holden you can't blame Malky for this mess..!
