The man put in temporary charge of the Hornets arrives in Swansea for the first a double header with three points up for grabs tomorrow and a Carling Cup quarter final place on Tuesday.
Taking over from Aidy Boothroyd, MacKay is finally readyy to get going and is glad to be putting focus back on the pitch when so much focus because of the change has been on activites off the pitch.
Speaking to the Watford observer, Malky said โI am delighted. It cannot come quick enough. There has been a lot of press attention around the club but the main thing is football games and it will be good to get back into it.
โWe have got to prepare for Sunday on its own but we will be taking ample cover to Swansea for the second game.
โWe will look at the first game for now because otherwise you take your eye of the ball.
โI expect, what the reports have said all season, that it is a ground with a lot of noise. The fans make a lot of noise and they are passionate people.
โRoberto has a team that have been playing together for 18 months and they have brought in a few players from other countries and they will be difficult to beat.โ
